the Jake Gyllenhal Zodiac? Hated. Long, structureless, boring. It's like the "unabridged" Princess Bride, complete with hat-packing and random digressions into Florinese history.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I hate everything Fincher's done, although I still haven't seen Zodiac.
I loved Zodiac!
Batman Franchise to Stay Dark at Least Two Years
Los Angeles (E! Online) – Holy bad news, Batfans. Looks like a Dark Knight sequel is at least two years away.
Director Christopher Nolan has inked a deal with Warner Bros. to helm Inception, based on his own screenplay. The sci-fi action film "set within the architecture of the mind" aims to begin shooting this summer and hit theaters in summer 2010, according to studio.
WTF does "set within the architecture of the mind" mean? Batman vs. Sartre? Batman does acid? Wait, that already happened....
hat-packing
Ah, the rejected bride. Nice to see someone else who's read the comments in the book.

Ha. Yeah, I thought it was...all right, but it never really justified its existence. It was just a TV movie with better actors.
Pitt's wife getting killed offscreen in Se7en worked for me, because it pointed up the distance between them. We see much more of Gwyneth with Morgan Freeman than we do with Brad Pitt, really. As much as he loved her, he wasn't really cognizant of what was going on with her.
But then, I liked it, so. Visually alone, I thought it was fascinating.
Jessica, I realized that about Håkan when he asked Eli not to see Oskar when she went out that night, and she caressed his cheek. Up until then I thought he might actually have been her father, and just been protecting her for a decade or two. But that scene made it clear that he saw Oskar as his replacement raher than just someone Eli liked .
I thought that Gwyneth's off-screen death fit in perfectly since we didn't see any of the other "sins" get killed, either. And to the murderer, she was just an object, like the other victims.
But, like my namesake, I really liked it. I loved how it looked and it's one of the few BP movies I like.
loved Se7en. loved Zodiac. not many people seem to love or even like Zodiac and it sort of leaves me scratching my head because it held my attention really well. sometimes to the point of me being on the edge of my seat.
amych! amyth! We need you over here!

I haven't seen Zodiac yet, but I'd like to. Then again, I love usually Fincher.
