This is poetry. This is storytelling. You can leave the sound off if you want but. Stop. Watch. You surely will not regret doing so.

If anyone's wondering, yes, this movie did get flagged by the FBI at the time for "communist sentiment" or similar

Seven (often stylized as Se7en) is a 1995 American crime thriller film directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker. It stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, with Gwyneth Paltrow and John C. McGinley in supporting roles. Set in an unnamed, crime-ridden city, Seven's narrative follows disenchanted, nearly retired Detective Lieutenant William Somerset (Freeman) and his newly transferred partner David Mills (Pitt) as they try to stop a serial killer from committing a series of murders based on the seven deadly sins.

Walker, an aspiring writer, based Seven on his experiences of moving from a suburban setting to New York City during a period of rising crime and drug addiction in the late 1980s. An Italian film company optioned his script, but following financial difficulties, the rights were sold to New Line Cinema. Studio executives were opposed to the script's bleak conclusion, insisting on a more mainstream and optimistic outcome. Fincher, determined to re-establish himself after a career setback with his directorial debut Alien 3 (1992), was mistakenly sent Walker's original script and, convinced of its merit, committed to directing the project if the original ending remained intact. Principal photography took place in Los Angeles between December 1994 and March 1995, on a $33–$34 million budget.

My best friend's favorite number is nine. It's because there isn't a number that's higher. 9. 99. 999. 9999.

If everything gets high enough, you become invincible. Nothing can hurt you anymore. Nothing can hurt anyone anymore.

But isn't it scary, to think that there's a highest number? That if you made 99 good memories, you couldn't hold any more?

So I don't like to keep count. Of the flowers they pick, or how many times we laugh, or how many scary faces they make.

I just hope we'll be friends for 999 more years.

12 Monkeys is a 1995 American science fiction thriller film directed by Terry Gilliam from a screenplay by David Peoples and Janet Peoples, based on Chris Marker's 1962 short film La Jetée. It stars Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, Brad Pitt, and Christopher Plummer. Set in a post-apocalyptic future devastated by disease, the film follows a convict who is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.

In Latin American cultures, it is customary to celebrate a girl's 15th birthday. In Spanish, the girl celebrating her 15th birthday is called a quinceañera; in English, primarily in the United States, quinceañera is used to refer to the celebrations and honors surrounding the special occasion. The Spanish names for the celebration can be literally translated to English as the 'celebration of the 15-year-old' (fiesta de quinceañera, fiesta de quince años), '15 years' (quince años, quinceañero) or just '15' (quinces).

I don't need to know anything else about this man to know we would have been great friends. An absolute legend. I wonder if I can find the actual story about that conviction, cause you know there is a story there.

I can and did. He attended a protest against a poll tax, and when he saw a cop choking a protestor and objected, two other cops pinned him to a wall and choked him into unconsciousness. He woke up in jail charged with assault, and one of the cops claimed he'd bitten him on the hand.

The bite mark was proven not to match his teeth, and it's presumed that the cop bit himself to frame Mitchell. But they convicted him anyway despite proof it wasn't his teeth that bit the cop. Ergo, he was convicted of biting a cop with someone else's teeth.

The experience led him to a lifetime of activism work and getting a law degree so he could fight injustices like the one he faced.

Around the edge of the stone reads: "The only man in British legal history to be convicted of biting a policeman - with someone else's teeth."

There are two smaller words after this inscription that are obscured by flowers on the grave.

A related real-life fact I learned from my wife's obsession with historical fencing: in Renaissance Italy, there were enough fencing schools doubling as male brothels that cities passed legislation requiring sparring rooms to be on the ground level with windows facing the street, so it was easy to make sure the right kind of fencing was being practiced inside.
