Not everyone has seen every popular movie that has ever come out so that does't justify spoiling the movie. If the video was about the most shocking endings or something then I could understand the spoilers but its just about performances so spoiling isn't necessary at all.

The exterior of the blue house in _Burn After Reading_ was actually shot on a really old (and expensive) block in Brooklyn that has early 19th century houses still in existence and in excellent shape. I lived near it (in the poorer part of the area), and when the Coens were shooting, the whole neighborhood pretended they had to go down that block for "reasons" because Brad and Angie were there. HA!
