I voted perfectly happy, but have now realized I'm not. Why didn't Se7en go through?
I didn't put
Se7en through because 1) I wanted to choose only one Fincher film 2) my sense was that most people (not all, of course) thought
Fight Club was more seminal Fincher than
Se7en and 3) skjerva is convincing.
What about Toy Story? Toy Story is better than Fight Club and The Matrix combined. What is the deal? . . . I thought I did. In that it was both one of the most innovative films of the last 20 years and, unlike The Matrix, it is a perfect film in its writing, direction and even voice acting. It is a poignant film about friendship and it's damn funny and exciting. But I guess the Brad Bird love-fest had to win out.
It was hard to leave
Toy Story behind given the love that so many have for it, but ultimately, I didn't see
specific, compelling arguments being made for it. What you write above are claims, not specific evidence (can you tell I've been grading student essays?
). For the record, it wasn't a Brad Bird love fest for me -
Toy Story is still probably my favorite Pixar film.
