I think it looks interesting and definitely one of my most anticipated movies of the year.

As for Oscar prospects, IDK. It is F Scott Fitzgerald, but this isn't The Great Gatsby. Plus it sort of reminds me of Youth without Youth. I just hope that it will be a good film.

It's weird. But. It's also a classic short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. So there's some pedigree and cultural foreknowledge to balance out the weirdness (plus Eric Roth wrote the screenplay, more Oscar pedigree). And I just have this feeling that Brad Pitt–assuming he's good in the movie–is sort of on the verge to receive a "he's due" Oscar. So–again assuming the movie is really good, and with Fincher helming that's more than likely–I think there's enough there to get it on the playing field for Oscar attention.

As for Fincher. I think most of Hollywood realizes how great he is–and if Zodiac was released later last year, I'm positive it would have gotten more attention. So it's just a pure, pure pure gut feeling that this could finally be Fincher's big year.

Or maybe the film will suck balls. Who knows?

It just seems really fucked up (and i'm willing to bet imdb forum posters will of course complain about plotholes), but I'm a pretty big Fincher fan (Zodiac is one of my favorite movies), so I'll definitely see it and I also am a huge Brad Pitt fan.

To be honest, it seems more like a Del Toro movie or a Burton movie than a Fincher movie.

But this will not win Best Picture, and probably won't even be nominated…it's just too weird.
