PTA vs Fincher

[cine]

Um I begged to see the picture way back when you told everyone about it. So this was well over a year ago. Felt now was a good time to remind you that we STILL haven't seen that picture. Would be nice..

(plus, Ono asked how old you were and you didn't tell him.. which isn't fair since you asked him and he told you.)

i can still show you that polaroid -- if you're interested. i just need to scan it somewhere.

how old is he? i never knew.

[ono]

I replied in the Closer thread.  You quoted my whole review and asked me how old I was (kind of rude, without a point, but that's beside the point).

Iyou  asked me how old I was (kind of rude, without a point, but that's beside the point).

i dont feel that it was rude or without a point. i personally thought closer worked on all levels -- one of mmy favorites of the year -- I feel that if one has been in love the movie should communicate to that individual -- your criticism of the film made me think " if he didn't respond to this movie, maybe he's never been in love before." the reason for asking your age was to support or explain or confirm or deny my theory.

There's a reason the Fincher forum was replaced.  All I'm saying.

Well, at this point, neither of them are making films. But at least PTA's forum receives traffic.

[ono]

so, how old are you?

Look in the Closer thread.

excuse me, fincher doesn't make FILMS he makes movies -- theres a BIG difference bub!

has anyone heard fincher talk about his distinction between His films and His movies?  he see's the difference. and he knows FC and 7 are the former and the rest are the latter.  I'll hold out twenty years for the real (directors) cut of Alien three for the final word there.  It seems like a lot of people here have a lot of shit between each other.  Almost like their assesment of film is so easily shaken that they experience cognitive disonance, whereby new information causes them emotional harm instead of logically casusing them to re-assess what they origionally thought.  We're all smart.  We all agree on 99.999% of this shit.  This is why the Republicans always win.  They never in-fight in public.  They let us on the left use up all our energy fighting amongst ourselves.

The only thing he's making now is commercials, pal!

Okay.  So.  Just we're all on the same page...we've all seen Peter Davis's 'Hearts and Minds', right?  

I actually live on Westmoreland Ave. if you can beleive it.  The irony kills me every day.
