So, I’ve said this before, but if you were there, if you were just trying to separate people from ten bucks — and that’s what most movies are trying to do; that’s what most movie executives are trying to do. Let’s try to separate you from your ten dollars. Those aren’t the movies that I make. Hopefully. Ideally, I want to separate you from twenty-four dollars. I’d love for you to buy the DVD and watch it thirty times.
I KNOW YOU’VE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK AND SO YOU KNOW AWARDS AREN’T A BIG PART OF MY LIFE
^^^ Amazing.
#but at the moment I could buy The King’s Speech re-cut it and turn it into my in flight safety film
And that safety film would still be more original and innovative than any other movie from 2010…

A very young David Fincher. Nineteen to be exact.
He is on the set of some movie that I can’t remember the name of, and I’m not exactly sure of his job at the time.
DAMN SON
D’aww. I’m more inclined to hit it now, but d’aww nonetheless.
He could definitely get it.
Woah….
WHY SAVANNAH? WHY DID YOU BRING THIS INTO MY LIFE?
Ok, fine, I’ll admit it: I have a big old crush on David Fincher, despite the fact that there’s a tiny possibility we’re related.

I’ve been wanting to rewatch this movie. I really enjoyed it when I saw it in theaters two years ago, but public opinion seems to have turned sour on this movie since then. Maybe it’s one of those movies that gets better over time (aka, the opposite of Garden State)?
My first thought was, ‘It’s a bit slight.’ But there’s kind of a riptide to Sorkin’s glibness. A lot of what he says is the sparkle on the surface, but there’s a poignant discomfort underneath. He’s such a verbal savage, but at first I did think, ‘It’s too fast and there’s something slight about it.’ Then I walked away, and an hour later I thought, ‘No, it’s OK, it really resonates, it leaves you with the right kind of hollow.’ It’s like sushi: you might be hungry again in a bit, but you ate something pretty spectacular….
My responsibility is to unsettle people. There are hundreds of movies a year lobbying to be man’s best friend. And I don’t feel I need to add to that. I like popcorn movies but, as part of a healthy balance, one of the other food groups could be semi-challenging adult-ish fare.
