Grate n Colorful Oz
Pure Laine Hutson
Fincher is terrific, not to mention a Hitchcock fan, but more recognizable than Tarantino? I'll fight you on that one.
I also have my film-geek cred. I was in Communication Studies in Concordia (film, TV, radio) and was the site admin for a film review website a decade ago. But I never met a premiere director like Denis Villeneuve - that's awesome! I loved Arrival - one of my favourite sci-fi films of the past 20 years!
Fincher perfected the art of telemetric image composition. It's really noticeable in a lot of his movies. There's mostly always a sombre atmospehere with a lot of green or grey filters. Soundtracks are also very Fincher-ish from movie to movie. How the movies are scripted are also typical of his style.
I didn't "meet" Villeneuve. He was invited to our auditorium as our teacher was his teacher when he was student. He came in front of the class for a Q&A and at the end, the teacher asked to refrain from hudling over the front to meet him as he would be leaving shortly. It was around the time just after he made Maelstrom. Can't remember which class specifically. I remember vividly, one student asked him what he missed the most and the less from UQAM, and when he came around to less (paraphrasing from French) he said "I don't miss all those students who thought they'd be the next Coppola" and i was the only one to laugh out loud in the auditorium. He probably hurt a lot of egos with that comment, but it's true. And I didn't make any friends with my reaction
Ps... am I getting banned for not liking QT?
Ps I did meet Robert Morin at CEGEP, another Q&A, but way smaller classroom, so got to shake his hand.
