Every once in a while, the Twitter film community decides to wake up and choose violence. This time, the target is David Fincher and, as someone who still hasn’t forgiven Netflix for leaving Mindhunter in limbo, I feel personally attacked. A recent post on X has gone somewhat viral, racking up more than two million views and well over 23,000 likes, all because it dares to suggest that Fincher “fell off so bad.” That’s the actual phrasing--crying emojis and all--and the Mindhunter fan in me is absolutely outraged.
