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.
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.
Pitt's wife getting killed offscreen in
Se7en
worked for me, because it pointed up the distance between them. We see much more of Gwyneth with Morgan Freeman than we do with Brad Pitt, really. As much as he loved her, he wasn't really cognizant of what was going on with her.
But then, I liked it, so. Visually alone, I thought it was fascinating.
Jessica, I realized that about Håkan when
he asked Eli not to see Oskar when she went out that night, and she caressed his cheek. Up until then I thought he might actually have been her father, and just been protecting her for a decade or two. But that scene made it clear that he saw Oskar as his replacement raher than just someone Eli liked
.
I thought that Gwyneth's off-screen death fit in perfectly since we didn't see any of the other "sins" get killed, either. And to the murderer, she was just an object, like the other victims.
But, like my namesake, I really liked it. I loved how it looked and it's one of the few BP movies I like.
