Oh, man. 84 Charing Cross Road. Haven't thought about that movie in years. I was weirdly fond of it as a kid.

I guessed the ending of Sixth Sense like 20, 30 minutes in, and my friends who had seen it already were pissed at me for figuring it out when they hadn't. Honestly, most movies (etc.) follow predictable beats and plot points. Tropes are tropes for a reason. They're comforting and expected. It's why people often get mad or disappointed when there's a truly unexpected subversion to that. I don't mean a twist - those can be good or bad, and are indeed a trope themselves. I mean, things like "the bad guys win and the good guys die" or "the couple doesn't end up together." Those type of movies can be good, but I think it's rare that the majority of the audience fully enjoys them, because they don't follow the scripts (if you will) that viewers pick up on even subconsciously. Just because you might be better at that than others doesn't mean you're TOO focused. It just means...you pay attention and recognize patterns.
