Zodiac discussion ... possible spoilers

[NoCarsGo]

I saw this at a preview screening and was surprisingly pretty dissappointed.

I've liked almost everything Fincher has done, and Gyllenhaal choice of roles has usually been excellent, but I felt that this movie was a let down.

Overly long, rambling, all over the place, and -- I didn't realize this before -- but the story that this is based on is not very interesting at all. The dude killed a few people and [censored] around with the police for a few years. Nothing was ever proven. The movie follows a newspaper cartoonist who becomes obsessed with this for what appears to be over a decade.

Any other thoughts on this?

I saw a movie on "on demand" the other night about the Zodiac killer. I think it was an older movie and it wasn't bad. When I get home, I'll see if it's still playing and try to give more detail.

Here it is:

Turns out to be be not so old.

I'm psyched for this one and further encouraged by the tomatometer. From what I understand it's a bit more subtle than most people are anticipating which could lead to disappointment if that's not your thing.

I'll be there tomorrow. I have lofty expectations of Fincher's movies and was not impressed with Panic Room. Hopefully we're in for a little redemption.
