I bet Fincher's about at the point where he'd shut up and take the marvel bucks

he's probably at the point where he's gonna need another mass-market hit to keep his passion project funding coming in

I saw the Killer and. like someone here told me, it was like a Melville movie, but less fun and less cool.

Given all the Netflix stuff he has done, I was wondering if Fincher was that bad off at all. It seems like he found a decent niche. Mank got a ton of nominations too, so I don't think he's lost respect within the industry.

EDIT: I didn't know he produced the Netflix House of Cards remake. The guy's probably set for life.

I mean, if it got really bad, he could start doing Madonna videos again...

mindhunter's contempt of criminal profiling was very refreshing, yes. i remember one part where anna torv's character is like "you ever notice how we don't ask the serial killers the same questions, so we don't have any way of comparing their answers?" and the other characters are like "... huh" and then they change nothing lol

it's a show that admits the main reason cops like to do it is that you get to have Manhunter-like monologues where you say things like "you enjoyed watching them, didn't you? You sick son of a bitch"

yeah I just happened to rewatch that one recently.

Also another good one I saw recently was the on where the kid from the sandlot plays a vampire, it also has Luke Wilson in it.
The best part is Mulder and Scully get a chance to both describe independently what happened and it's funny to see the differences in their perspectives and how they view each other.

Even if they did want to go a more action way they could of tried to do a remake of the much beloved 1999 The Mummy. A fun slightly campy adventure thing with slight horror tones. Even gives you the start of a hero team with an ex military adventure guy with a slightly shady past and a librarian for research, and it's even set in the 1920's. Slightly late for some of the universal monsters but a period that could work pretty well.

sorry brendan fraser personally ruined that whole theory of blockbuster filmmaking by not being enough of a team player to man up and endure sexual harassment

dont worry tho he got an oscar for playing a really fat guy so thankfully that shameful era of hollywood is completely behind us now

Well, there’s no reason quite a few of the principles should be consigned to Hell, for one thing: “… implies that she fell in love, and her partner either roped her into drugs and prostitution or she fell into that life despite his best efforts to help her get better, but either way it's strongly implied that she died of an overdose much like Angel, and figures that she's come too far and might as well raise Hell since she's stuck there for good.”

At best, maybe, purgation for mortal sins that were not atoned for in life, but most of these people are there for venial sins, and of them, a lot of them seem to have been out of their control or misunderstandings.

Also the theatre kid energy.

e: Barlowe's Inferno can be equally cringy in terms of trying to look like Frank Frazetta/Bosch/Dali, but at least there’s an understanding of what constitutes a sin.

Lmao yeah the differences in Owen Wilson's character is great, I feel like I've seen the multiple perspectives thing done elsewhere but mostly in animated stuff

xfiles actually did comedy eps pretty well, I like the burt Reynolds one a lot. and the one with Peter Boyle although that's more darkly comedic

naw it's more about the development of profiling, they do a lot of interviews of killers that have already been caught. I don't feel like it takes a strong stance either way but it does show the shoddy unscientific way it was developed

it's worth a watch all the performances are great and there's a lot of personal stuff outside of their job. Would've been interesting to see what they would've done with btk going forward, he didn't get caught for like another 20 years and only because of his own fuckup

it was a pretty good show. the first half of season 1 is really bad and rocky as they were figuring out WTF to do, then it gets good by the end of season 1. season 2 is very good. season 3 is also good. then it gets kinda dumb at 4 and i think it was a bit weak at the end

and so many plot lines that were just dropped lol

I don't think Mindhunters really has a position on profiling, it's just surprisingly historically accurate in that it shows the FBI falling on its face when it really happened. But you definitely walk away from the show thinking profiling is a real tool and not pseudoscience.
