Saying his wife was right and then going on to say he likes not knowing where a film was going is him admitting he shouldn\’t have directed it? The quote starts off by saying that they didn\’t know where the third act was going, so what exactly is being said there other than the typical "husband admits wife was right" schtick?

where does he say he "shouldn\’t have directed it" … this site\’s reportage has become downright despicable. wannabes who steal soundbites from other articles and then misquote them for a clickbait headline.

Fincher and Cean were married last year. They\’ve been together for 20 years and she produced many of his great videos/commercials and films..She\’s incredibly bright, well liked and knows her shit.

Dan Harmon has said used a similar burger analogy for mainstream success but I a little bit kinder to Big Macs.
"I aspire to mainstream success. Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium. You\’re suppose to make a hamburger that everyone wants in their mouth" – Dan Harmon.
Mainstream fare has gotten better with the likes of David Fincher making accessible movies.

Audiences want to see an entire film in 90 seconds?

No they don\’t and you KNOW you don\’t believe that.

By: The Game is a lost masterpiece from David Fincher. As for the ending, I think it holds up perfectly. If you haven't seen this film, do yourself a favor and watch it. It will blow your mind.....

What\’s up with the oversaturation of Fincher stories? You really don\’t have anything else to cover? By the way, your new display sucks.

I agree with Cary. The new site layout is not appealing to the eyes. I\’m all for change and welcome it but this… I\’m not on board with this.

Anyone recommend any other movie news sites? I\’ve only been coming here for years. Time for something new.

"These days, though, it’s hard to get audiences to give themselves over. They want to see the whole movie in a 90-second trailer." – I agree with the first sentence – many audience members are too cynical or try to hard to "figure it out" before the reveal. Just relax and enjoy the storytelling. But, I whole-heartily, disagree with the second sentence. That is the marketing people trying to sell a film. I believe most movie-goers want to be teased with what\’s in the movie but seeing the entire plot in the trailer (and now can be up to 3 minutes) is partially ruining the movie business. If people have feel they\’ve seen the movie, why bother watching it (paying)?

Dear dummies, here\’s your lesson in how to understand reading. Fincher said his wife told him not to make the movie. And then he said she was right. What does that mean to any of you? Come on guys, do you need to be so dimwitted?

"My wife" this, "my wife" that… did someone finally clue him in to all of the Rooney rumors and he finally married Cean? I mean after 20 years what is the point? CA considers them legally married anyway.

From the interview, linked in the article: "[My wife] was extremely vociferous, for instance, when she said, “Don’t make The Game.” … and in hindsight, [she] was right."

He married this woman after 20 years? I see he\’s taking advice from Affleck. When Ben wanted an Oscar, he paraded his kids in front of the paps and played Family Man. Now David F***ing Fincher is dropping the words "my wife" into every other sentence. Someone\’s getting antsy for the awards.

Thank goodness he denounces The Game. By far the weakest of his films. The whole time I\’m just wondering "Is this seriously what this all adds up to?"

Did she tell him not to do Panic Room? The Game may be a studio flick underneath it all, but Panic Room is by far his most hackneyed work. To me that\’s the biggest blemish on his otherwise noteworthy career since he\’s excused from Alien 3.
