You know, if it were a SciFi Original Movie, it would be titled Mansheep.

I soo want to see that!
I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang the other night. Even though it's gotten great reviews and Buffistas loved it I almost didn't watch it. Which would have been a shame because it was such a good move. I really liked Robert Downey, Jr and also the actress.

We saw Zodiac last night. Boy, is that a long film. What's sad is that it FEELS long. Some Finchery touches, but not as showy as I expected. Despite some good performances (Robert Downey rocks and Mark Ruffalo is very good) I found it completely uninvolving.

Does Gyllenhaal take his shirt off at any point?

Nope. Nothing remotely sexy anywhere in the film with any character.

As much as I like the idea of Fincher doing a movie about the Zodiac, I've been a little leery of the film just because I know the details pretty well (having read Graysmith's book, among others) and the story of the Zodiac does not seem to lend itself well to a coherent narrative, since we ultimately don't know who it was or why he did it.
It also seems to not lend itself well to a moody pseudo-horror piece, which this film seems to be advertized as, since the Zodiac actually wasn't all that prolific a killer.
