Oooh, I concur with those assessments. And it's interesting to see them bar charted.
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm just sitting over here wondering (from B'cracy) why people hate Se7en. I loved it.
Honestly, I don't remember a lot of it other than being really, really pissed that the wife was killed offscreen without being given a chance to defend herself.
She was just an object not a human being. It infuriated me.
Se7en was overwritten and overdirected and BORING.
I'm glad it didn't cause me to write Fincher off completely, though - he redeemed himself a billion times over with Fight Club.
I love Se7en, although it never fails to send me into a major funk after watching. As for the ending, I appreciate that we were along for the dawning realization of horror with Brad Pitt's character. I don't see why it was necessary to show her final moments. I can imagine, but I disagree (with my imagination).
"What's in the fridge!"
(lisah, I don't mean to imply that that's where you're coming from, only that this is my gut reaction to where I might wrongly think you're coming from, and is my own issue)
I hated Se7en, too, although I can barely remember why. I hate everything Fincher's done, although I still haven't seen Zodiac.
the Jake Gyllenhal Zodiac? Hated. Long, structureless, boring. It's like the "unabridged" Princess Bride, complete with hat-packing and random digressions into Florinese history.

I loved Zodiac!
Batman Franchise to Stay Dark at Least Two Years
Los Angeles (E! Online) – Holy bad news, Batfans. Looks like a Dark Knight sequel is at least two years away.
Director Christopher Nolan has inked a deal with Warner Bros. to helm Inception, based on his own screenplay. The sci-fi action film "set within the architecture of the mind" aims to begin shooting this summer and hit theaters in summer 2010, according to studio.
WTF does "set within the architecture of the mind" mean? Batman vs. Sartre? Batman does acid? Wait, that already happened....
hat-packing
Ah, the rejected bride. Nice to see someone else who's read the comments in the book.

Ha. Yeah, I thought it was...all right, but it never really justified its existence. It was just a TV movie with better actors.
