Se7en

Right in the meaty part of Brad Pitt's godlike existence, he hooks up with David Fincher and grits his way into one of his best pre-Ocean's 11-13 roles of his career. If he was gorgeous in Legends of the Fall, he is blue-collar beautiful in Se7en playing Detective Mills, a recently transferred cop taking over for Morgan Freeman's Detective Somerset, who has been playing guys "too old for this shit" ever since he chauffeured a certain Daisy in the late 80's. How many references come out of Se7en? Only a few that are clearly identifiable, but many more throughout pop cultural cult communities. Even Seinfeld, if you want to make that connection.

The Game

Perfect day to reference a movie that makes soup out of your mind's asshole. Fincher has a lot of movies with quotable quotes, but The Game is a textual thriller where references can only lie in the overall mind-bang experience. It's trippy. Like coming home to black-light graffiti and a more buffoonish Mr. Marbles.



Don't think about The Matrix, rather The Game when listening to this song. And if you ever think a "game" is being played on you, pause. Remember what the dormouse said: FEED YOUR HEAD.
