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.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

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.

I had different issues with the two movies. I will say one thing in defense of Zodiac. It may have been slower than frozen molasses but, after viewing it, I didn't feel compelled to seek out a synopsis of the movie to figure out what the fuck I just watched.
