Lol, I can sort of see where you get the Fincher/Nolan blur from. I think Nolan tends a bit more towards the intellectual whereas Fincher is sort of more psychological and (I feel) more up for a spot of gore/violence, but yeah, there's a similar kind of tone running through their work at points. Like a kind of... polished grit?
I'm glad it's not that strange that I've gotten them smushed in my brain! Poor guys.
I came to this realization because I was saying to someone last night, "well, Nolan directed Fight Club," which sorta shocked them and then thinking on it I had to question myself... "Didn't he?" Looked it up, and realized that two guys existed where I thought there was only one. I mean, I knew both their names -- I would just associate them with all the same movies. Like Superman and Clark Kent or something. Only I was completely unaware I was doing it, of course. *headdesk*
