I pretty much guessed what was in the box, but more than that I guessed just from hearing about the premise of Se7en that there was going to have to be some fudging of the story.
Which is to say : yes, I can see how you can kill someone with extreme versions of sloth and greed and lust and the like, but it struck me that two of the sins - wrath and envy - don't work in the same way; you're more likely to kill someone as a result of your wrath, and how are ya gonna kill someone with envy ? Make them so envious they explode with it ? Put a chemical in their blood that makes them literally go green, and makes them die of that ? Nah. That's just daft... and that's why you get the fudge : the sudden appearance of John Doe in the last part of the film, the Deus Ex Machina turning-himself-in bit, which just shifts the focus of the method of killing. Up until then, people have been dying as a result of extreme versions of the sins, but then when you hit Envy and Wrath it's the person who's doing the killing who's possessed of the extreme sin, if you see what I mean.
Oh, and I guessed the end of the Sixth Sense from the trailer.
I'm no fun at parties, as you can imagine. Tch.
