… and you have some serious spare time on your hands, I highly recommend reading this discussion of his work by Jason Bellamy and Ed Howard. Using his latest movie, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, as a starting point, the two talk about his entire career (except for his first film, ALIEN 3).
It’s especially interesting to read some thoughts on Fincher films that rarely get much notice, like THE GAME and PANIC ROOM. Both men feel ZODIAC is his best film, and they talk about why it’s both different from his other work while continuing developments shown in his earlier films. It’s long, long, long, but well worth a look.
And here, as a bonus, here’s the trailer for FIGHT CLUB.

This weather, with record wind chills and the sort of cold that freezes your nosehairs the moment you step outside, makes you feel like doing something drastic just to warm up a bit. In that spirit, here’s the video for Wax’s song, “Southern California,” directed by none other than Spike Jonze (the man behind BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ADAPTATION and the upcoming WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE).
And remember kids: Don’t try this at home.

Shockingly, it’s been several days since I’ve posted anything here about my most-anticipated upcoming movie, WATCHMEN, so here’s a bit of news about the film. It’s good news — in fact, it’s about the best news we could get, given recent events. From the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER…
Geeks can rejoice. Warner Bros. and Fox have resolved their dispute over WATCHMEN, with the studios scheduled to present a settlement to Judge Gary Feess this morning and request that the case be dismissed.
That means the studios have made nice, and the movie will open on March 6, as planned, after all. Hallelujah.
