Bullets 'n' Babes

Fight Club is awesome.. IMO.

Best film he will ever make thats for sure, esspecially looking at his bland other lesser films.

Yeah man!

Good:

Fight Club
Se7en
Zodiac

Lame:

Panic Room
The Game
Alien 3

I haven't seen Benjamin Button and I'm not bothered because it looks like Forrest Gump.

Alien 3 - 4.5/5
Se7en - 4.5/5
Fight Club - 4.5/5

I thought Forrest Gump was quite good I'd like to see Ben Button though for its interesting story.

I never really cared much for Fight Club. Seven is excellent, and I havent seen Alien 3, PR, Benjamin Button and Zodiac yet.

My girlfriend thought BB was quite boring, but she finds pretty much everything boring. She can barely sit through a commercial without complaining it's too long.

* Alien 3 - Very good, very unfairly treated, not as good as Alien or Aliens 3. I've only seen the Theatrical Cut.
* Seven - Outstanding, if this was average cinema would be a in lot better shape, not that it's in a bad shape.
* The Game - Pretty good, not one I've had any inclination to return too.
* Fight Club - Excellent.
* Panic Room - Also excellent, simple story but very effective.
* Zodiac - Decent but boy it's far too complicated. I don't say this often but trying to put the "entire" life of the case into a single film was too much. I definitely need to see it again though.

I've not seen Benjamin Button (it looks pants) but Zodiac is probably his weakest, even though it's still very well made. Seven and to a lesser extend are easily Fincher's best work.

That's what you get for dating an intellectual.

A mate of mine's wife is the same. She reckons all films are too long, boring and hard to follow. I suspect it's more a case of not attempting to pay attention.

She is actually quite highly educated, but sadly, that doesnt really seem to transfer much into her taste for movies, videogames, music, clothes, or men, in fact.

Do you mean Aliens?

Oops, yes I did. Thanks.

This is confusing me immensely, but to be fair I am drunk/high.

Oops. That will teach me for trying to post with a hangover:

Seven for me will always be about the twist, I had it ruined before I went in, and just never enjoyed it at all.

Maybe one day, as I have only seen it once way back when. Many of Finchers films I have no reason to ever see again except Alien 3 and Fight Club.

For me it was the attention to detail of the killings. Fantastically gross, especially the obese dead guy.

I love its style and atmosphere, it's way more than just a 'twist' of a film.

Definitely. Gas is right.

If you are into that sort of thing Saw is better

Oh, were you being serious?

Its far better.

Oh dear.

SAW Spoilers:

I've never understood the appeal of Saw, extremely clunky dialogue, massively contrived plotting, overbearing "ROCKKKKKKK!!!!! direction and music", Danny Glover delivering his worst performance to date, and casting Tobin Bell as the villain without distorting his voice was a very stupid move because the guy has a distinctive voice that ruins the "twist" at the end, because all through the film you are waiting for Tobin Bell to arrive. When he doesn't the conclusion to the film is obvious.

Either way like or hate it, brad is talking about it as if he has seen it when we know he will not have.

Reading from a script again Romero? .
