Robert Pattinson dies in the Twin Towers, Remember Me.

No, this wasn’t a great death scene by any means, but I’ll be damned if I won’t think of it every time i see Pattinson’s face for the rest of my life, standing in front of the window and the camera tracking back to reveal– dumb dumb dumb!– the doomed towers. It’s not just that it’s tasteless, though it’s that too, but that the surprise hinges entirely on the audience not putting together the math that the movie takes place in summer 2001, even though it starts with a prologue set in 1991 then jumps to “10 years later.” So absurd, and yet so memorable.
