- Brad Pitt is not at Apex because the movie was not that successful.
- Ed Norton is at Apex: this rounds out his six-movie run, and he has arguably never been as big a star since, unlike Pitt.
- Fincher's Apex is still The Social Network; Generation X is a no.
- Rosie O'Donnell is a maybe, with her peak placed later in her feud on The View.
- Movie twists peaked this year, with this, The Sixth Sense and Blair Witch, before the internet could spoil them.
- Helena Bonham Carter is a yes, though still not loved in this movie.
- The Pixies are a no, peaking around 91; the ending song started a trend of closing with a pop song.
- IKEA is at Apex in the late 90s.
- Unreliable narrators are a no despite enjoying the device in this, Memento and Goodfellas.
- Fight clubs definitely peaked then; blown-up apartments probably not; Jared Leto no; Meatloaf peaked in the 70s with Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
