HAPPY NEW YEAR

Terrence Malik Attack the Block, dir. Joe Cornish Drive, dir. Nicholas Winding Refn Meek’s Cutoff, dir. Kelly Reichardt Shame, dir. Steve McQueen Warrior, dir. Gavin O’Connor Harry Potter & the...

David Fincher on Charlie Rose tonight
This is the lead up to all lead ups people. Everyone in the cast is at the round table. Daniel Craig is doing a strong job at the rugged mountain cattle man with his blue jean jacket (or walked off the set of Brokeback Mountain), and Rooney Mara is well poised to be a remarkable star with a black on black aura. And Fincher is the cat’s meow.

Feeling existential doesn't mean you don't believe...
Great ideas, it has been said, come into the world as gently as doves. Perhaps then, if we listen attentively, we shall hear, amid the uproar of empires and nations, a faint flutter of wings, the gentle stirring of life and hope. Some will say that this hope lies in a nation; others in a man. I believe rather that it is awakened, revived, nourished by millions of solitary individuals whose deeds...

You Better Be F--ing Serious: David Fincher on... →
This interview with Fincher is fan-fucking-tastic. Hell-o, I’m putting your knowledge in my pocket for every rainy day.

The New Yorker: Three Days by Samantha Hunt →
It is colder than most Thanksgivings. The ruts in the driveway have solidified, forming seals of creaky ice. Beatrice and Clem walk to his truck in silence and she feels as if she were still onscreen. She imagines that the video game has somehow sharpened her abilities. She feels as if she could… Great writing here.

Who cares Seth Green?
Just a heads up, PBS. This is wonderful documentary. But no one needs to hear what Seth Green thinks about working with Woody (on Radio Days.)

David Fincher's Vanity Fair portrait, written by... →
David Fincher in a bad mood isn’t easy to discern from David Fincher in a good mood. Fincher tired is the same as Fincher energized. There’s never anything about his demeanor that asks you to ask, ‘What’s wrong?’ This might be what people mean when they talk about strength. Also focus. David sees…
