damnit how long do we have?

punch drunk love is doing a lot of work for tree.

but the strength of marty over fincher is hard to ignore.

i also reaaaally don't like meryl streep.

agree on the directors, but I’m not really comparing in that way in each matchup…yet…

I agree, but I think that's his style and it's intentional. He likes the audience to feel uneasy.

i wouldn’t categorize my feelings as uneasy or based on style…it may be more narrative based, but I’m really not sure

It probably is narrative based. I agree with that. I didn't pick him for his movies, but for his style. As far as I'm concerned his eye, execution and attention to detail are top-notch.
