Because of that tagline I'm going to have to assume that the flag is actually in the scene and that they're having sex while draped in the Stars and Stripes. I mean, if you're that passionate about America you'd probably ask it to join you in the bedroom, would you not?

50: I'm so 6 of these kids and their drat posters Contagion  The tale of a heroic surgeon's attempt to separate the world's largest conjoined twins with just a bowie knife. In the middle of a forest. With no anesthesia. Just Before Dawn...  ...is when they remembered they needed some kind of poster for this thing. Pigs  False advertising! That is clearly only a singular pig. Galaxy Invader  He came all the way over to our galaxy just to ask us to turn down the stereo because his kid's trying to get some sleep. Our response: "Maybe later bro" Sledge Hammer  and the case of the world's most uncomfortable bed. The Severed Arm  also known as 'the Stranger' eh guys! (nudge nudge wink wink)

Yeah that first one really made me  but the rest are just okay. I do like the last one though. It's a David Fincher film which Trent Reznor is doing the music for, so naturally I am already sold on it. That first poster just makes me think it'll be really disturbing.

Burnt Polaroid works pretty well, the note is a little to on the nose and the box cutter{?} is a little confusing, obviously it's the murder weapon but I don't get the point.

The first one works in the same way that the teaser for Girl With the Dragon Tattoo works, where you get all this aggressively unsubtle rape imagery leading up to "THE FEEL BAD MOVIE OF CHRISTMAS" and realize, "wow, this movie is going full-bore and really doesn't give a gently caress what I think about it." Of course, the movie itself sucked. I miss good Fincher, so I hope this movie doesn't suck.

If the first trailer left a bad impression, you might just end up not liking the movie. That's 100% the book up on screen through his camera. Was it the song? Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Jul 6, 2014 |

I'm curious what you consider "good Fincher" if you thought Girl With the Dragon Tattoo sucked. I thought it was as good as (and practically identical to) the Swedish adaptation which I also really liked.

Now that you mention it, everything but Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, pretty much (note: have not seen Benjamin Button). I was not a fan of the novel or the Swedish movie either, though. Although I'd probably take the Swedish movie over Fincher's movie if only because I thought Noomi Rapace was much better in that role than Rooney Mara.

I can understand the lack of love for Fincher's version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, as Oplev's own adaptation is already a really good thriller that harkens back to classic psycho thrillers like Silence of the Lambs. But that's the thing. Compared to Oplev's film, Fincher and Zaillian's version is almost like an anti-thriller, especially during the ending. But that's also the same thing that kind of makes me annoyed when people imply that Fincher did 'nothing new' or some variation with the title. Maybe it was just seeing both films in relatively short succession, but it was almost immediately apparent to me that Fincher's film wasn't merely 'darker,' that all of the creative decisions he and Zaillian made, however subtle, not only dramatically changed the story but a lot of the subtext of the film, and in many cases, at least for me, it made for a more rewarding film. It's like when people look at Gus Van Sant's Psycho and they still act like he's just copying Hitchcock's film verbatim - I can't argue with whatever someone's subjective experience was, but you shouldn't have to like a film to pay attention to it and respect its overt differences from another, especially if they do share a source. Speaking of Psycho, I remember way back in the late-'90s and seeing the VHS for the Van Sant remake and having no consciousness of the Hitchcock film, so even before I knew of the shower scene, this was my only visual reference to Psycho:

The only Finchers I haven't really are Benjamin Button and GWTDT but in both those cases I still think he directed the poo poo out of them, it's just the scripts themselves were pretty weak. I haven't read GWTDT or seen the original movies but I just don't think it's all that great of a story to begin with. I also want to note that I think Panic Room is pretty great.

There's still a lot to like in that movie. I struggle to like anything about Dragon Tattoo. The cinematography's pretty, I guess? But it's not like it's the only Fincher movie with pretty cinematography.

Fincher's take on Dragon Tattoo is probably the best he could have done, but the irritating parts of the original novel still sink it. A lot of major elements (elaborate hidden cryptograms!, Salander's meandering subplot, a Scooby-Doo level villain reveal) feel so played out and lifeless that it overwhelms the better aspects.

I thought it was common knowledge that Fincher has a curse on him that makes him make a bad film for every great one. Alien 3 - Bad Seven - Good The Game - Bad Fight Club - Good Panic Room - Bad Zodiac - Good Benjamin Button - Bad Social Network - Good Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Bad See? You may argue that some of those "bad ones" are actually good, but you're wrong since that would ruin the theory. Thanks for your time.

I still say the most valuable thing about Dragon Tattoo is that nobody can call Alien 3 his worst film anymore, so maybe people will acknowledge that as the good movie it is. I didn't know people didn't like The Game. I actually didn't like it much the first time I saw it, but on a recent rewatch I thought it was really great.
