Strike News: Shhhh! Show Runners Returning:
Neal Baer, the show runner for “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” tells the newspaper: “We agreed at a meeting a couple of weeks ago that if the C.E.O.’s went back to the table then we would go back in our producer capacity.”
Mr. Baer “said many of the show runners he knows have already returned — albeit quietly,” Mr. Cieply and Mr. Barnes report.
So I decided to spend the holiday weekend catching up on movies. I'm up to Zodiac, which might possibly be the slowest moving film in the history of motion pictures. It feels twice as long as Summer of Sam and that was a Spike Lee movie.
Between this and The Black Dahlia, I'm starting to feel betrayed by the entire "loosely based on a true infamous case" genre.

When you mentioned that one, I considered warning you, but I didn't think it would be fair in case you liked that kind of thing. (The person I saw it with loved it--go figure.)
So if I wasn't enamored of Black Dahlia I probably won't enjoy Zodiac ?
Aren't there 2 recent Zodiacs? The one with Gyllenhaal and the slightly earlier Jake-free version?
there's a 2005 movie called The Zodiac. I assumed we were talking about the 2007 picture.
I think that's the one with the catfish-mouthed guy from Gray's Anatomy right? It keeps raising and then dashing my hopes when I surf past it on cable.
Somebody said to me the other day Zodiac was the best movie of 2007. The most polite reply I had was "Did you only see one movie this year?".
Don't forget Tyler Perry released like 4 movies this year. It could happen.

I've heard they are stylistically and structurally very different (haven't seen either) but that ZODIAC is very...deliberately paced, shall we say. It was one of the reasons I couldn't quite bring myself to see it in the theater (and haven't seen it yet) despite some reviews I read that intrigued me.
