I loved this movie! I will confess that Kane is one of my favorite movies, I love Fincher and I love movie history so I’m definitely an easy mark for this one. Andy your point about watching movies in the theater vs at home is so important. No matter how excited about a movie I am, when I watch it at home, there will be pauses, there will be moments where I start looking at my phone or am distracted by my kid and have to rewind some important thing I missed. I kind of think too much is made of “watching a movie in the comfort of your own home” haha but great convo guys. And the the record, Zodiac is definitely top of my Fincher list
Mank certainly feels like it was supposed to be a movie event made for seeing the theaters and not meant to compete for your attention, that's definitely true. On the "comfort of your own home" aspect, one thing my girlfriend and I have been doing is trying to set more of a vibe by turning off the room lights and turning on a color light. That's been fun and feels a little closer to the feel of going to the movies, though not all that close.
