shareSerial killers do not care for the ugly headrests that come equipped on volvo vehicles. Or perhaps the director determined they make it hard to get a good shot the figment of the serial killer`s imagination riding in the back seat.
share26. Det, Atwood cannot grow old as a woman without having at least one bad man in her life.
share27) When going through a divorce trial, be sure to issue a death-threat to your soon-to-be-ex, or at least make clear you want them dead. Even though this sets you up as the prime suspect in his/her forthcoming murder, it will make you feel good.
28) Always wear a neck-guard when going to kiss your children good night. You never know if they might stab you in the neck with a pair of hidden scissors.
29) Zig-zagging through flashing lights is an effective shot-avoidance tactic.

Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
These things are fun, when the movie blows, but more often than now they expose the lack of understanding of the writer.
Brooks isn't really speaking to *anyone*, this is all in his head.
To the person who said, the alter ego needs to "peek" around his shoulder to see the photos... please. Do you not know anything about people who hallucinate? About people who have voices or imaginary personas in their head? They don't "control" these alters, these identities have a will and "mind" of their own. People that have this pathology are even tortured by what these people say and do. So it is very understandable that the person hallucinating this alter ego would imagine they could "hide" things from them - like say photographs.
Just do a cursory study of people with MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) and you'll find that they believe that they can hide things from their alters. The same is true for people with schizophrenia who hallucinate personages.
Like I said, these things tell more about the writer than the film.
"...nothing is left of me, each time I see her..." - Catullus
Honestly, no I did not know that much about people who hallucinate, seeing as how I never have suffered hallucinations/MPD, I've never known anyone who has, nor have I ever studied psychology, hallucinations, or MPD (nor have I ever really had a reason to do so). So thank you for informing me of that.
This thread is "100 Things Learns" (I think the OP meant "learned"), and I learned something from the movie (with your help): that people who hallucinate believe they can hide things from their alter-egos. Thus it still works to be in this thread (only more literally than comically). So I give the movie props for being spot-on (apparently) in its portrayal of people who suffer MPD.
Thank you, again, Bladerunner*.
The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.
When these threads are attached to good movies, they tend to bring out the grouch in me. I wasn't directing my acerbic response to you specifically, but to the whole idea in toto. So, you're welcome and forgive me if I sounded snarky.
The film was accurate in it's portrayal, at least in that regard. My wife does work with MPD patients (not exclusively, but periodically) and some alters talk to one another, while other do not, and some are completely hidden from the rest. It's quite amazing how convoluted it all can get, and this does not begin to address the pathology of (certain) schizophrenics that manifest voices and/or hallucinated personages.

Well, although that was quite angry and unnecessary, point taken.
I love this movie. I own it, I've watched it several times, and I agree with you that this is an "original story that is very underrated." Just because I make posts on this thread doesn't mean I think it's a bad movie.
These posts are simply to state elements of the film in their most simple and non-relevant-to-the-movie form. It's basically just saying "how can we apply elements of this movie to real life?" It's just funny to take things completely out of the context of the movie and apply these to real life. While in the context of the film, these elements are part of the world and (in this case) quite acceptable and part of a very good film. Exclude them from the film and set them by themselves and they sound funny. In my experience, most people who post in threads like this still enjoy the movie they are posting on.
It's like talking about professional golf and saying, "They're just hitting a white ball toward a hole in the ground." Given all the elements of golf (angles, breeze, hooks, shanks, sand-traps, etc...), "hitting a white ball toward a hole in the ground" is quite difficult and involved, and therefore not as "silly". Almost any time you break something complex down to its most simple and exclusive form, it's humorous.

If Mr. Smith had gotten run over by the car while crossing the street it would have saved Mr. Brooks from doing the messy job.
Mr. Brooks doesn't kill people because he enjoys it, he does it because he's addicted to it.
Photography is a hobby of Mr. Smith's.
An a$$hole is an a$$hole.

great comment! i really love this movie, its unique + well told> as for the haters of dane cook> he represents the perfect average weird neighbor. costner makes an extremely scary killer. remember: "3000 miles to graceland" ?!!! i take this over special effects anytime.
shareSerial killers are okay if they feel bad about it and are absurdly polite in their speech.
Something happened with a BMW that we are not allowed to know.
It makes a good twist ending if you completely change your mind about something for no particular reason at all.
The Man of the Year award is extremely prestigious and gets a lot of media attention, and tends to go to the owners of box factories.
Act as suspiciously as possible when being questioned by the police about a crime you have not comitted.
Mr Brook's wife is willing to wait a few hours after you get home from a banquet to have sex, she doesnt care that you'd rather do something else first....

# ?? (Sorry, lost the count) No serial killer can be entirely bad if he does the audience a big favor by killing Dane Cook by nearly taking his head of with a shovel and throwing him in a grave.
share#??+1 Always make copy of keys when you enter a house at night.
#??+2 No hair should be shaven off when stitching a nasty head wound.
51. It's easier to shoot the light bulbs off and look cool than shoot who's right in front of you.
share52. When you're worth 60 million dollars, if you have to give your a$$hole ex-husband 5 million (max) to get him out of your life forever, doing so could reduce you to a life of poverty and Top Ramen.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!
