When last we checked in on David Fincher's noble quest to win an Oscar, the Benjamin Button director was attempting to silence his critics by hitting them really hard in the chest ("That's for you, for not greenlighting the movie when you had a chance," he reportedly told one smacked studio exec). So what's he been up to since? Well, last night, during a Button -pegged Q&A at Lincoln Center , Fincher...

In his 1.5 story about David Fincher's q & a the night before last at the Time Warner Center, conducted by the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Kent Jones, Variety's Sam Thielman did the standard cherry-picking of money quotes. But to me, the undercurrent was a lot more interesting. Fincher, I sensed, was feeling somewhat chagrined by -- or was certainly mindful of -- the unpersuaded reactions to Button...

A few highlights from "Behind Button: A Conversation with David Fincher," hosted by the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Kent Jones to close out their Fincher retrospective pairing the director's work with films he likes, a set-up that yielded the whiplash double feature of "Se7en" and "Mary Poppins." He was drawn to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" because it seemed to offer "a more complete...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is certainly curious a modest F. Scott Fitzgerald story, about a man born in the twilight of life and gradually regressing toward dawn, that has been adapted into a two-ton, Oscar-season white elephant. Directed by David Fincher from a screenplay ...

David Fincher may be temperamental about having his films come out just so, but he's got nothing on James Ciallela, who shot a fellow moviegoer for interrupting Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin...

When I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull I saw the first trailer to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and I’ll admit that I was creeped out and I didn’t like the trailer at all. In fact I thought it looked completely terrible but how can that be when you have David Fincher directing, Brad Pitt starring and Eric Roth writing the screenplay. Then I actually started paying more...

There are some directors whose movies I will go see no matter what. The four who come to mind are Michael Mann, Werner Herzog, Danny Boyle and David Fincher. Three days ago we watched Boyle’s latest; today it was Fincher’s. I’ve been anxiously awaiting The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (imdb | rotten tomatoes) since seeing [...]
