Se7en was way more popular than Fight Club too. Everybody watched and talked about Se7en, Fight Club was mostly popular with early 20ish dudes.

I probably watched that as a double feature back then, I can't imagine what I would think about those movies back to back now. I will say my grandad watched Se7en in theaters, he didn't like it but some sort of cultural zeitgeist compelled him to see it.

You're absolutely right and that statement should be amended to late teens - early 20s dudes. Definite oversight not to include 18 and 19 year olds.

Boondock Saints is one of the worst movies of all time and dear god please watch Overnight if you haven't. It's the behind the scenes of the first one and it's just filled to the oozing edge with such douche baggery you have no idea.

Hah, well I'm old enough that I saw both Se7en and Fight Club opening night. Fight Club was absolutely huge in the teen and early 20ish dude demographic, but Se7en had that plus our parents talking about it too. It made over 3x as much at the box office.

I'm a massive, cliche'd fan of Fight Club so beware my rose-coloured glasses. But I'd say Fight Club had a way bigger impact and influence. I would put Fight Club close to my top 10 list (on some days, including it). People walk around quoting it, joking endlessly about "You don't talk about Fight Club" and Fight Club offered some interesting social commentary (regardless of whether or not you agree with it) It has a very similar visual style (obviously), so while Seven came first, I would argue Fight Club had a bigger impact.

In terms of cultural zeitgeist then I think Fight Club had a bigger impact. In terms of visual influence I don't think I could say a group of people were more influenced by Fight Club than Seven. Maybe a small margin of folks that walked a thin line of coming into filmmaking in the few years separating them, but I think Seven had the larger impact on filmmaking visually. Fight Club was just more of what people liked in Fincher.

Fight Club actually kinda bombed at the box office (domestically, but then foreign revenue wasn't as big a thing back then) and became a cult thing over time, while Se7en was an outright hit. Arguably the former has grown larger in pop culture in retrospect, but Se7en was David Fincher's first successful feature film (after the mess of Alien 3).

I remember many young peers thinking the sloth scene was the most amazing thing to ever be filmed. Of course that's coming from viewers whose top ten probably looked like: Wayne's World Terminator 2: Judgment Day Basic Instinct Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Predator My Girl Se7en Forrest Gump The Bodyguard So I Married an Axe Murderer

Those are still all great movies, though. Life was harder in the 90s, we only had Blockbuster or TBS.

Why do you hate Mike Myers? Also My Girl was that generation's Bridges of Terabithia when it comes to teaching kids about surprise death.

I'm not saying that's a bad list. Just that it's limited in length, breadth, heighth, scope within the movie universe. i.e. they were all very popular and recent US films. None of my jr. high friends were raving about: Come and See Sunset Boulevard Vertigo Solaris Zardoz Blood Simple Johnny Got His Gun The Big Sleep Red Angel Three Colors: Blue They were more ecstatic about Dr. Giggles or Hot Shots!

Ariza posted:Why in the world would you expect 11 year olds to care about any of those movies? I honestly can't understand what you're thinking. I wouldn't think any kid would be that cultured and into foreign films at that age. My basic point was that the sloth scene is not viewed as the most amazing scene in film history for those who've seen thousands of films. Most people make the jump from kids fare to adult stuff at some point. Although I have heard anecdotes of kids first theater experience being Alien. Or adults who just stick to Disney. A broader point is that people generally start out viewing the most accessible, popular and recent art in their culture. And it's only a very narrow slice of what is out there. Se7en was a glimpse into a new adult world for a lot of people. Kind of like Less Than Zero was for some people a few years earlier. Every few years a few touchstones like this are released although I haven't kept track as to what they are.

I'm trying to figure out the smallest age difference between an actor and an actress playing their mother in a movie. I'm not including that Justin Timberlake movie. So far I'm at Glenn Close playing Mel Gibson's mother in Hamlet, with her being 9 years older.

Drew Barrymore was two years younger than Adam Garcia in Riding in Cars With Boys. There's only a year age gap between Angelina Jolie and Colin Farrell, who played mother and son in Alexander.

In Unbreakable, Elijah's mother's actress was older than SLJ, iirc. Though that's due to her being mostly in flashbacks and also because SLJ doesn't age.

She is brought back for Glass as well. SLJ is 5 years her senior I believe.

No, I wasn't saying they did a bad job, I fee like she played his momma as a senior very well, actually. I was just saying that IRL they're not that far apart, much like the other examples that were given recently.

Drunken Master 2 always felt weird because while Jackie Chan is younger than his father's actor it's only by eight years and judging by looks it's not actually clear who's older. And he's nine years older than his step-mom's actor. Both of which might not be all that weird but Chan also plays Wong Fei-hung like he's a teen or twenty-something and he is clearly anything but.

Another completely unrelated question: during the conclusion of "The Greatest Showman", PT Barnum, his museum/circus building in Manhattan having just burned down, remarks that "Real estate in Manhattan is a terrible investment", before deciding to reopen his circus in a tent down by the docks. Is this true? A joke showing Barnum's lack of business sense? With our current President, I'm not sure whether to think being in the New York real estate business is a savvy move or not.
