ITT: stuff that always bothered you about movies
Why would John Doe go to the library if he has enough money to just buy books? Why would he use the name John Doe?
>yes hello! i'm Pistachio Disguisey!
Why couldn't Fincher think of something else? it doesn't seem like lazy writing, it's just completely off regarding the character that is supposed to be smart, wealthy and never leaves a trace

Aragorn cutting beheading the Mouth of Sauron during negotiations under the white flag. That was an extremely dishonourable and downright appalling thing to do. Especially for a king.
In the books they just part ways once the negotiations were concluded. AS IT SHOULD!
that's why the extended versions suck
Too much at stake by that point m8
>NOOO ITS DISHONORABLE AND DOWNRIGHT APPALLING TO KILL AN EVIL DISGUSTING IRREDEEMABLE MONSTER
Bro I love Tolkien’s works as much as the next guy but there’s no ambiguity in that orcs/goblins/Uruk-Hai/any “monstrous” creature with externally disgusting features is evil and should be scorned. Who gives a shit
He should have been above that. It was pure emotion, without discipline. It was unbecoming. He is forgiven because of the scene where The Eye speaks to him. That was based.
Yes, that was always in incredibly bad taste. Who the hell allowed it to be filmed?
I'm glad. That annoying homosexual deserved it.
John Doe just probably liked hanging out at the library. Reading microfiche and gawking at all the hot librarians.
>why couldn't Fincher think of something else?
Because HE DIDN'T WRITE THE FRICKING MOVIE! Do people still think directors get hooked up to a machine and the movie is entirely created out of their brain?
he's the director moron, he should've said something like "hey maybe this doesn't work, you should change it"
I think Fincher is what made Sorkin bearable. On the behind the scenes for Social Network he told him to cut the line "an all you can eat ice cream buffet".
Fincher expert here. On Gone Girl he told its author/screenwriter to excise a chunk of the scavenger hunt because it was contrived and unrealistic
1:00:20 seconds in, Morpheus puts on a beret for no reason at all
His head was cold. This is all covered in the directors' commentary track that was published on the region 6 DVD in 2002 and that went out of print slightly later in 2002.
Bald people get cold sometimes man
He's just an example of writing a "smart" character for normies. Smart to normies means going to the library, cutting off your fingerprints (instead of just wearing gloves) etc
Fincher was always a hack, his directing is comical at times, Alien 3 was his fault
Alien 3 was manifestly the fault of the writers, the studio and Sigourney Weaver's interference.
The only good parts of that film came from Fincher.
It was Fincher's fault and that's obvious from the entire rest of his filmography which only exists because he gaslit everyone that it wasn't his fault. He's a fricking shit director and more studio interference would have made it better. Siggy behind the camera would have made it better
the thing is before your zoomer generation. smart peoples went to library routinely. it's just a trope to portray smart character.
>Why would he use the name John Doe?
It's been a long time since I've watched the movie, but does he? I know the cops call him John Doe (the usual thing to do for a person whose name is not known) but does he ever say that himself?
that's the name registered at the library
People fall into habits, if he did it while young, he could continue to do it. Buying books can also require ordering them, might not be in stock at a book store. Libraries have old stock of books.
It's not a plot hole, you just don't like it.
What I thought was even more ridiculous is that the fricking FBI apparently tracks people who borrow such ominous and nice titles as the Divine Comedy or the Canterbury Tales lmao
Se7en is a shit script that is saved by a good director. That's all it is. Andrew Kevin Walker was a meme screenwriter who sold in the 90's for grimdark pastiche and now became Reddit when he realized he can't get away with that anymore because of culture war bullshit and he never had the balls to make truly hardcore scripts anyway. Hollywood and film are the last industry any real creative should aspire to
>Chief, he’s nearly gotten through the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe and a CI caught him browsing Plato last week
>my god Johnson, we’re dealing with a real sick son of a b***h
>a billionaire superhero and a rising star lawyer / politician are both in love with the same woman
>this is what she looks like
why did Marv turn into a skeleton?
>Heat
The only one thing that bothers me is WHY would Neil and friends want to execute Waingro OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE of a diner full of witnesses? Yes these guys are criminals but they also showed intelligence and cunning.
Not that unbelievable when he lives next to great libraries
