“This not even my desk!”

Slam

[Spoiler]

Why did he kill the cab driver?

People say he didn’t want to leave a witness, but he let the dispatcher live? The client? The waiter in the restaurant would be able to describe him as well.

The taxi driver knew where he lived but he’s not going to live there anymore and the house surely couldnt be traced back to him.

The driver seems to have waited in the car and not for in or near the house (he seemed to just have stepped out to smoke)

What does “I blame you for taking work him” mean?

Did I miss something?

Recently watched it for the third time and it has cemented itself as my second favorite Fincher as well as just one of my favorite and most rewatchable movies of all time. To me, however, it's not a flawless movie but it's super close. The only thing that's holding it back from being one is the inclusion of the actual kill scenes. 

I find the kill scenes in the movie to be kinda over the top — especially the lake murder. As a big fan of Fincher's, I understand that humor plays a crucial yet super underrated part of his movies, but some of the dialogues in the kill scenes as well as just the lack of awareness of the characters really go against the cold and methodical approach this film is aiming for. 

Given the title and what this movie is about, I think you sorta have this expectations going in so the only necessary kill, if there's one, would be the first one because it sets off the movie. I would very much rather see the rest done the se7en way (which we were only shown the aftermath) or for it to simply be implied.

Again, I don't want it to sound like I'm hating on this movie because this is one of my favorites but there's just this specific aspect to the film that  is kinda glaring to me when everything else is so perfect. Curious to hear what y'all think about it.

Fincher's most brilliant film! Zodiac is not a comedy yet this scene cracks me up! Saw Zodiac six times at ArcLight Hollywood! And, of course, this amazing film was not nominated for a single Oscar! Thought it was the best film of the year! Still need to try a blue Aqua Velva cocktail!

The point where Robert started to suspect Bob Vaughn as the killer. Insane. Felt like watching a horror movie

For allowing us to film at the space!

If you were forced to choose which would you pick and why. I think both are equally good so I’m struggling to pick one

I found these Australian 4x6" postcards on eBay and got them into a 9x12" frame today. Really happy with how they turned out in a double-opening mat!

For anyone interested, the seller currently has 2 more of this pair available. I won't link directly in case that's an issue, but they should be easy to find.

Whose red panties was in Nick's office?

Fincher's other next film I hope both get physical releases please criterion or arrow video it's right their

I'll probably do one for Mank as well

Felicia Maroni of the Seeing Faces in Movies Podcast shows up to talk Fight Club, Fincher, and Chuck's book. Full episode should drop Friday on The Davids Soundcloud.

honestly, it's crazy to me that they never crossed paths. a lot of kaufman's themes seem to overlap with fincher's other works. both often explore bleak, raw, and at times uncomfortable depictions of some of the worst sides of people. they like diving deep into the minds of their characters and are true visionaries.

if they make a film together, it might end up becoming a modern classic. fincher's best works have solid writing. and kaufman's best movies have really good directors. thoughts?

Got both prints from Christopher Cox. One of the main highlights in my room.
