Only in the Movies?

A recent article in the Guardian talks about things people supposedly only do in the movies:

•Who keeps scrapbooks any more? Only the movie psychopath, who knows that the scrapbook will clear up any ambiguities when it is discovered in a drawer in the final reel. Recent culprits include the hostage thriller Berlin Syndrome. Seven is a special case: along with the killer’s newspaper clippings, there are 2,000 notebooks for the police to thumb through. That goes for photo albums, too, recently used in Hereditary: it wouldn’t have been the same if Toni Collette were scrolling through the cloud.

I’d say there are a few other people who still keep scrapbooks and notebooks, even if they aren’t movie psychopaths!

  1. The movie notebook I have always coveted is Sebastian’s journal from Cruel Intentions. If I could find a replica of that, my inner teenage soul would be fulfilled!

  2. And don’t forget that a notebook played an intricate part in the movie “Indiana Jones, and the Last Crusade”.
