Morning Folks!It's time for a more serious movie... and one lots of you have been recommending for a long time! We both felt like the city this movie was set in could have been Gotham - so dark, damp and dangerous. We also loooove stories like this where we get to try and put clues together before the characters solve the crime. Hope you enjoy!

Really looking forward to this! Something to watch during the freak blizzard that's set to hit. Thanks guys!

This was a great, but hard watch for a movie. I'm glad you guys saw this, but I hope you take a shower afterwards. This is a prototype to SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.

Where can I patronize my favorite Canadians? You're my second favorite behind Bob & Doug Mckenzie!!!

This was a hard watch. Please watch STRANGE BREW! Pure Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️.

Pretty please! Watch STRANGE BREW. It's got SCTV alums, it's got beer, it's got jelly doughnuts, and it has hockey.

It's funny that you guys mention how much the city in Se7en feels like Gotham (and it def does) bc in the newest Batman movie (the one with Robert Pattinson as Batman), director Matt Reeves took a lot of the look and feel of Gotham (and the film in general) from Se7en. Anyway, yeah, Se7en is not a "feel good" movie, but it's such a well-done tragedy that it's always been among my favorite films. And it was the movie that put David Fincher onto my Top 5 Directors list. And, actually, that's another Gotham connection, since David Fincher's style was also an influence on Christopher Nolan, an influence you can see in many of Nolan's films, including his Batman series. So, although David Fincher has never actually made a Batman movie, his style has had a big impact on the look and feel of Gotham in modern Batman movies.

Hahaha Strange Brew is a very Canadian comedy right... So we HAVE to see it!

That's so cool!! I had no idea there were so many Batman connections

Great reaction. Look at the scene when Mills and Somerset are in Wild Bills leather shop and you will notice a guy behind them outside the door watching them. He has a limp. Thats John Doe.

Oh!! I knew there were more instances of him lurking

Se7en is actually a story about hope. We are introduced to Somerset, a very fastidious, academic but beat down detective on his last week of service. Somerset is the very face of apathy, being on the front line facing off against the city’s constant angry brutality throughout his daily working life. The very city pulses with malevolent angst of which Somerset can only escape into sleep with the aid of the calming tick-tick-tick of a metronome each night. The first murder scene is discovered, and thrown into the mix is the young transferred detective, the “hotshot” Mills. Mills couldn’t be more different from Somerset, with his dishevelled appearance, foul mouth, he wears his heart on his sleeve and has a cocky, devil may care attitude. Somerset immediately takes Mills to task, in what he believes is a service to try and insulate Mills from the horror that his city will undoubtedly dump on him. To whit Mills objects passionately to ; Mills - The point is that you're not quitting because you believe these things you say. You want to believe them because you're quitting. And you want me to agree with you and say "You're right, it's all f*d up. It's a mess. We should all go live in a log cabin." But I won't. I won't say that. I don't agree with you. I do not. I can't. Mills’ passion, his youthful optimistic and desperate hope tears through Somerset’s apathy like a wrecking ball. The night of this conversation with Mills, Somerset then smashes his metronome against the wall in righteous rage. He is awoken, angry, energised and engaged back fully with his world. And its not just Mills, it’s Somerset’s personal engagement through the film with Mills’ lovely wife Tracy. You can see as Somerset gets charmingly engaged into the young couple’s lives that he is slightly jealous of their youth, their promise, and he is absolutely terrified of what his city is going to do these “kids”. And it turns out that Somerset was right. The city eats them both up whole, the “every-man” killer John Doe choosing Mills and his wife as his sixth and seventh victims. But Somerset has been redeemed, re-awoken. He is asked where he’ll be ? “I’ll be around.” ------ David Fincher is one of the top three visual directors working today (Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve being the others). More ; Zodiac The Social Network Gone Girl The Game (awesome !) TV - Mindhunters (twisted real world thriller)

I believe it was also Kevin Spacey dressed as a cop that hands Mills the books through the car window. I'm sure he's lurking elsewhere as well...
