LOS ANGELES – Director David Fincher admits he feels honored to be one of the filmmakers influencing another generation of shitty dudes with his most recent film “The Killer,” sources confirmed.
“I wouldn’t be here without bro culture,” Fincher relayed from the Netflix VIP Director’s Lounge that he co-designed. “With ‘The Killer,’ I’m playing to my core audience: disillusioned men with low media literacy rates. It’s another masculine and seductive reflection of our grand social lie, as slick as an ad or music video, but nobody gives a shit. Nowadays, I just lean in and play the hits. You can’t walk into a single frat without seeing a ‘Fight Club’ poster. Show me an incel edgelord that doesn’t love ‘Se7en.’ I also made the title super clear since ambiguity doesn’t play well with my fanbase. What is it about? Boom: a killer. End of story. It’s all transactional. Chug another beer, moron.”
UCSB junior and Phi Gamma Delta treasurer Russell Sandleton shared his enthusiasm over Fincher’s latest work.
“Since that shit dropped, we’ve had it on constant rotation at the house, playing at keggers, just non-stop. It has a bunch of songs by this band called The Smiths, and their lead singer seems to have some pretty insightful things to say online,” said Sandeleton, who went on to describe his favorite Fincher film. “Anything with Brad Pitt, just not ‘Benjamin Button’ – that shit is so cringe. ‘The Social Network,’ ‘Zodiac,’ and ‘Gone Girl’ are kinda confusing, I usually just fall asleep halfway through. One thing is for sure: me and the boys are all ‘Fight Club,’ all the time.”
Box Office Analysis founder Tonia Braun praised Netflix’s streaming release.
“Theaters across the country have actually thanked Netflix for releasing ‘The Killer’ mostly online. Yes, the film looks incredible when projected, but the ratio of Axe Body Spray to screening room dramatically increases with each new Fincher film,” said Braun. “Irrationally angry men with no chance of seeking therapy can enjoy the film at home, completely avoiding property damage. That being said, we’re slightly concerned about ‘The Joker’ sequel next year, which we’re encouraging Elon Musk to release directly on X.”
Fincher plans to continue exploring career-long themes with the upcoming Netflix cash-grab ‘Fight Club 2: Fight Harder’ starring Vin Diesel and Jason Statham.
