Just some random thoughts on Se7en: I missed this at the theatre, but it was spoiled immediately after it came out. It became the "head in a box movie". Although personally I always felt that nothing equalled the scene when they find the sloth victim. It was the reverse for me. I'd seen the Sloth scene on Bravo's(?) scariest movie scenes list, but didn't know what the final "twist" was. I assumed it was related to the identity of the killer and kept trying to figure it out, so I was kinda taken aback when it turned out to be literally just some guy (albeit played by Kevin Spacey) while the actual twist wasn't even really a twist, just a surprising thing that happened.
That's where I first found out about it too, and watching it...I mean you've already seen the scene, you know it's coming, it's not so shocking...for me the Lust killing was the most disturbing one, aside from the most obvious reason why, also because it's the only time in the whole killing spree that a third party was forced to commit the actual murder themselves, aside from sloth which we don't really know WHAT the hell happened, the others died from their own choices rather than face the alternative.

The Sloth scene is what I call a popcorn spiller.

I find it effective while watching, but afterwards, it feels really slick. I don't care for it.
