We continue our look at David Fincher’s career with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Social Network. We point out that Brad Pitt sounds like Pepe le Pew, discuss how The Social Network is our generation’s Fight Club, why Timberlake isn’t a good actor, debut a new feature called Quotes McGotes, and we argue about the merits of applying the auteur theory to Fincher’s career. We also address the review embargo crisis that has been going on in regards to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It’s action-packed!<\/p>\n
