When I was a poor young man I couldn't afford cable (pre streaming) I would go to closing video rental places and the record store and buy used movies. My wife wants to throw out my VHS collection. I obviously resist. My laserdiscs are long gone. I miss buying physical movies

Seven is a good movie. I just rewatched it a month or so ago. There aren't too many nitpicky issues with it, and it has a solid soundtrack by rezner. I had to buy the movie tickets, my friend had a baby-face and I recall getting caught "smuggling" in snacks and drinks in my hoodie

Great story. I was dating a girl that worked at "Moovies". Yeah, a cow. I got a "Usual Suspects" Box set. Still have the lighter. I no longer have her, lol.

Another great movie. I was late to watching that, I think the hype put me off. Lighters cool momento. I saw johnny mnemonic I think same year as seven, definitely same theater. I was so close to walking out, I have not watched again

Admittedly i was young when I saw this in theater(14) but that movie and scene left a lasting impression. I even had a copy of seven on laserdisc.

I was about the same age .. maybe 15-16.. saw it with a buddy from HS football team and we both JUMPED the fuck out of our seats at the sloth scene.

I was legitimately in the air for a moment.

My wife was working at Blockbuster when blockbuster switched from VHS to DVD.

Prices went down, down more. Down to a dollar at one point and she had this mile long printout list of what we could buy for a $1.


I got some great fucking movies. New movies in that time were probably $15ish... we were getting an entire box of movies for that price.

Probably still have a box or 2 collecting dust and mouse shit somewhere in my garage. When I got to the point where I stopped having a VCR hooked up they kind of faded to the deep dark obscurity of the nooks and crannies of my attic and garage

That "Usual Suspects" was a big deal, lol. They had a stand for it. $30 or so. I tried to steal all I could out of that place until it went under.

Bro... I know it's coming (rewatch) and it still scares the shit out of me.

The misdirection is beautiful. They get you to let your guard down and then that fuckin zombie crackhead looking thing gasps...

It's a great direction. That reaction to just a gasp is proof. As a whole the movie has great production, the darkness, the rain, the music and noise all very well done. Even the credits are executed perfectly to the tone and content

When I first watched it I hadn't watched full metal jacket yet. I didn't get R. Lee Ermy's voice. But I did recognize Shaft!
 
Ronin with Deniro was all about what's in the case?
