This sounds really pretentious, LOL. Obviously I can't argue against TSN on the basis of merit since I haven't seen it, though I have no doubt it's very well made. Fincher is, if nothing else, the most meticulous filmmaker working today.

I think one of the reasons I was pre-bitter about TSN and its acclaim is that I would have rather seen Fincher get this kind of attention for Benjamin Button and/or Zodiac, which I loved. Zodiac didn't even get nominated!
