Did anyone else ever think that the writers of Saw just took the Raymond K. Hessel scene from Fight Club and spun it into a feature length movie with a lot more gore?
Think about it. The whole "appreciate life or die" angle.

Exactly. I can't stand when some people gush about it's originality. Aside from K. Hessel, there's of course Seven it owes a ton of inspiration.
It wasn't even that exciting. but maybe that's just because everytime I hear the Jigsaw Killer speak, I smile and remember Donald Kaufman's horror/serial killer idea from Adaptation.
Quoted Text
Charlie Kaufman: The only idea more overused than serial killers is multiple personality. On top of that, you explore the notion that cop and criminal are really two aspects of the same person. See every cop movie ever made for other examples of this. Donald Kaufman: Mom called it "psychologically taut".
Quoted Text
Donald Kaufman: Listen, I need a cool way to kill people. Don't worry, for my script. Charlie Kaufman: I don't know that kind of stuff. Donald Kaufman: Oh, come on, man, please? You're the genius. Charlie Kaufman: Here you go. The killer's a literature professor. He cuts off little chunks from his victims' bodies until they die. He calls himself "the deconstructionist".
Donald Kaufman: I'm putting in a chase sequence. So the killer flees on horseback with the girl, the cop's after them on a motorcycle and it's like a battle between motors and horses, like technology vs. horse. Charlie Kaufman: And they're still all one person, right?
"The Flux capacitor. It's what makes time travel possible."
That's neat poster. However, I still have my doubts about this movie.
Rumor has it that there's a two minute scene of a guy cutting up an apple.
These will continue to be made as long as the generate money. It's just the nature of the beast/business. If this does well its opening weekend, be prepared to hear that Saw 5 has been greenlighted.
I might be a sick bastardette, but I actually enjoy the SAW movies.
I bought the first one as an impulse item at the grocery store. I didn't know anything about the movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it and I went on to buy the rest of them too. I might not see the fourth one at the theaters, but I absolutely will buy it.
I liked the clip. I want to see what the hell is going to happen next.

I love buying DVDs from grocery stores. I pride myself on being able to find hidden gems for $3.95.
I enjoyed the first Saw, as a stand alone flick, but I didn't think it had enough currency to go again, so I haven't bothered watching the sequels. But if the audience wants it they may as well keep churning them out.
