TVTropes may do that for you.

Or turn you off of movies completely, depending on whether you appreciate the tropes.

Was it on Slashdot that the custom began of posting a warning along with links to TV Tropes—a warning that you risked losing anywhere between 2 and 5 hours of hour life, clicking your way down the rabbit hole?

Wow, that's a lot of tropes.

Important to note though: tropes arent good or bad, just recurring patterns in storytelling.

It certainly is a different way of warching movies and such.
