For years, after the series finale of “The Sopranos” aired on HBO, fans were anxiously awaiting news about whether or not we’d get more stories in that world eventually. Well, if “The Many Saints of Newark” is any indication, perhaps you should be careful what you wish for, as ‘Sopranos’ creator David Chase is starting to prove he’s willing to milk his franchise for all its worth, even if it takes away the “specialness” of the original.

Deep Water, an erotic thriller from director Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction, Indecent Proposal).

“Once Upon a Time In Hollywood” and “La La Land” were egregiously overrated, ego-driven projects that didn’t honor Los Angeles so much as their own directors. Ryan Murphy’s “Hollywood” on Netflix was a tacky mess.

Clayton Davis “It’s an honor just to be nominated” is the overused line that many Oscar nominees have said over the years, particularly after a loss. Though that’s true, winning a coveted statuette is the real prize.The highest-profile overdue veteran actor competing for an Oscar this season is Glenn Close, the wisecracking Mamaw in Ron Howard’s “Hillbilly Elegy.” With seven previous nominations (the most of any living actor without a win), Close, who has delivered win-worthy turns in “Dangerous Liaisons” and “Fatal Attraction” looks to finally have her moment.

David Fincher is infamous for being a very meticulous, detail-oriented filmmaker. Over the years, actors and crew members have spoken out about how difficult it is to work with the director because of his propensity for forcing people to do dozens of takes for a scene.

While filmmaker David Fincher made a movie for 20th Century Fox in 2014, the thriller “Gone Girl,” it’s easy to forget that by and large, the director’s unofficial home for the majority of his projects since 2013 has been Netflix. He helped put the streaming network on the original programming map with the then-pioneering “House Of Cards” (2013), which he co-executive produced and directed select episodes of, he was the director and key creative lead/defacto showrunner on “Mindhunter” (2017-2019) and he brought the company and co-produced the animated “Love, Death, and Robots” series (2019), with filmmaker and longtime collaborator Tim Miller.

If you read enough posts on this website, you will begin to understand that many of us are huge fans of David Fincher. Of course, that’s not unique to us, at all.

Also Read: 'Mank' Film Review: David Fincher Sumptuously Spins the 'Citizen Kane' Origin StorySet in 1930s Hollywood, “Mank” grapples with the cinematic controversy over whom was most responsible for “Citizen Kane” — director and star Orson Welles or his satirist writing partner Herman J. Mankiewicz.

Citizen Kane (perhaps you've heard of it?) is a lodestar for technical and creative innovation in mainstream cinema, and the guy did it at the age of 25. Not too shabby.Welles's thinly veiled and highly unauthorized biography of William Randolph Hearst, a media titan the likes of which there is no parallel for today, was immediately controversial.

Well, at least we still have movies – even if theaters are still relatively no-go zones. For all its ensuing stress, November has a strong list of films on its slate, some of which have already built significant buzz following rounds on the film festival circuit this year (some of which even premiered in 2019, approximately 20 years ago.) In the line-up, there’s a return of David Fincher, some of the finest animation in recent years, leading performances from perennial favorite Carrie Coon, and Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan as lovers.

As it pertains to Hollywood, “vote brigading” — which can also be referred to as “vote stuffing,”“dislike mobs” and “review bombing” among other monikers — is the practice of augmentinguser-generated ratings and reviews to influence the perception of a film, television series or othercontent.
