Watched this movie the other day after having not seeing it for a few years, and it was just as fantastic as I remember. The movie should've been nominated for best picture, and Ruffalo and Downey Jr should've been nominated.
shareThe writer & director of this movie apparently thought that arrogance in dealing with friends & coworkers was cute, or some sort of virtue that showed superiority to rest of dull humanity...that's what made the movie unnecessarily irritating throughout. Hollwood types do this a lot and it probably reveals their prevailing attitude of superiority to non-entertainment types.

You'd think it would have at least been a shoe-in for an adapted screenplay nomination and some technical categories, but the studio clearly didn't know what they had and gave it no awards push. I guess we should just be grateful a movie like this was even greenlit and Fincher was able to make it the way he wanted to, but it deserves more recognition.
