For those curious, this was my inspiration.

Man, does that link even work? They've blocked the main Onion page at work, but you can still get into the AV club.

Isn't that typical of Fincher? Great craftsman, but not a whole lot of depth? Also, that might be typical of the whole "ad- or music-video director turned movie director" phenomenon?

These training ground disciplines seem to produce directors that are fascinated with visuals (even ranging to being devotedly tyranical towards talent in order to get "the right shot"), rather than character, acting, story.

So you get visual feasts that are essentially cold and heartless at the core because of their lack of depth in character and story?

That's just a hunch and not really informed by anything...
