Using my best Brad Pitt "Se7en" voice: "What happened to the dogs? What happened to the dogs? Oh God!

I envy you. I'd love to be able to watch The Game or Se7en again without knowing what's coming. Seriously, watch at least those two.

Here's a list of the movies for those who don't want to watch the entire 9 minutes:

[spoiler]
10. identity
9. one flew over the cuckoo's nest
8. no country for old men
7. saw
6. rosemary's baby
5. the silence of the lambs
4. primal fear
3. the empire strikes back
2. se7en
1. the usual suspects
[/spoiler]

Wonder what this would fetch at Sotheby's or Christie's??? I'd personally like to have one of those John Doe journals they used in Fincher's flick, "Se7en."...That film had some sick-ass whacko-props.

Their arguments work fine in the context of the video... BUT.
American psycho = City
Freddy = City
Se7en = City
The prophecy = City
I can go on and on...


"Try to name one legitimately scary American horror movie that took place in a city."

Haven't seen The Prophecy but the others definitely don't seem scary to me. Creepy and/or weird, maybe, (or just really stupid in the case of Freddie) but not scary.

Se7en = City

I think they spell it "Se7en"

Just watched Se7en again last night. Gluttony was one of the seven cardinal sins, not something to be celebrated. Where's Kevin Spacey when you need him?

Ah, that's fine. I've had loads of fun making them!! I'm so glad you got the reference. I was afraid it might be going over everyone's heads. I had to run it past some people cos I wasn't sure, earlier.

I kind of feel like I'm spamming. Can I really do as many of these as I want?? You underestimate the amount of free time a stay at home mom has, Lucky
Edit: http://youtu.be/MU2qk7QDD2o Nothing pertaining to this contest other than the initial sign. My son is a ham and loves to watch himself on video.

Love the Se7en reference. Cracked me up. As did the Mallow Man eating himself. Nicely done.
Just wanted to ensure you read the full contest details, as they explain a max of 1 video and 1 image will be accepted per person, but there's no limit to tweets and FB posts. The reason for the limit is to prevent someone from submitting dozens of almost identical photos/videos, thereby creating a very unfair and inflated advantage.
We'd be willing to reconsider these restrictions if you and other participants suggest and agree on different terms.

I always wonder if these are inspired by that scene from SE7EN.


..yeah ok, I'm weird.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Pee-wee's Big Se7en Mashup. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

Se7en was a wholly appropriate No.

Things i noticed:

- Isn't it a bit sexist of her to assume that the robots in transformers weren't their equivalent of female?
- Ditto District 9, though we couldn't pronounce their names nor tell if they were conversing.
- I thought there was a bit in watchmen where older/younger silk spectre spoke about something other than a man - at least for a bit.
- The bourne supremacy has 2 named women talking to each other about old assassination missions and capturing a rogue assassin. As does the third one because it follows directly on from the second. Does this qualify as 'talking about a man'? If so, that is a very arbitrary line to be drawn.
- Isn't wall-e about robots?
- Austin Powers are films lampooning the objectifying of women/the wallflower stereotype.
- The wedding singer has the two named sisters talking about the degree of tongue acceptable at weddings. Again, i say that if you can bend the rules to say that is technically 'talking about a man', then you could equally bend them another way in this and other examples.
- ^ Such as X-men where there are many group conversations involving named women. I'm not an expert on those films so i can't say for sure if there's a clear conversation between 2 named women, but group convo's with multiple named women there are.
- Interview with a vampire has a conversation between the child vampire (who is of course a woman trapped in a child's body, this is a big point in the film) and the woman selected to be bitten to be her mother, both are named.

If you make a film based anywhere in history past 50-60 years ago, you're going to hit the culture factor. You can't just manufacture women into places where they wouldn't have been in a time where women were not considered equal. You may as well complain about racism in a film taking place when black people were used in slavery.
- Shawshank
- Pirates
- Gladiator

There are films with a very powerful and strong female protagonist battling against the odds and coming out on top. Some of these films don't even pass the test - how can this be when it's basically saying "Women can be better/stronger than men?"
- GI Jane (vs. GI Joe) - fights against all the odds and eventually shows people how wrong they were.
- Fifth element - she saves him, he saves her, she saves the planet?
- Alien 3
- Tomb Raider
- Arguably 'Wanted'

^ It almost feels like she's mocking her own theory/criticism by naming these films. "Hey look everyone, even films with a super-strong female character kicking everyone's ass and showing how women aren't wallflowers........................is perpetuating the stereotype that women are submissive wallflowers!"

It's almost like naming examples of where the theory fails to be true. Which ...renders the theory useless?

I do think there's a point to be made, but i don't think it's as bad as they want to believe it is, and i certainly don't think that this is demonstrated by the films listed. Show films like pulp fiction, se7en, etc. even fight club. Those convince me. The others make me think "I don't think these people will be happy until we make 2 versions of every film with the sexes mirror'd."

If they can't value the fifth element, alien and tomb raider as films that fight against a stereotype, when exactly are they going to be happy?

Female voice over sounds a lot like Isabella Rossellini...?
and as for Mr. O'Neal's delivery, hey, it worked for Brad Pitt at the end of Se7en
