key memory of seeing this for the first time with mr veghim being SO psyched at all the period recreations of bay area/SF stuff, the chron, the freeway, transamerica, tv stuff etcme being SO psyched by all the zodiac recreations of the letters, codexes, cards, and the suspect casting etcwe nerded out so hard on this movie in completely separate parallel lanes lol

This is probably among my favorite three Fincher flicks, I need to see it again.

mank is great, i really vibed with it & i think it was unfairly panned i hated gone girl at the time but for petty reasons, i need to watch again

Decided to scroll up and see my initial reaction to this movie go from basically “this was ok I guess” to “alright so I have seen this 5 times now.”

but yes “how does one…” is one of my favorite lines
his “that” emphasized with the perfect amount of distaste

Blank Check ep reminded me of "once...in high school" which is indeed hilarious and perfect.

i also adore alien 3 but this is harder to convince ppl of for obvious reasons

Cannot get enough of this film, the tone, the vibe, the composition, the blocking, the ridiculously self-effacing effects, the way it disappears into vapour.

Mindhunter S1ZodiacSe7en
That facet of rewatchability about Zodiac is weird to me. Something about the colours and the textures make it hover in my memory, backlit in brown. All that with the knowledge that the Lake Berryessa scene is right there waiting.

The CGI of the shots that try to blend modern and period-correct SF (esp the night shots) hasn't aged well imho

Gone GirlZodiac Se7en
The Director’s Cut had like two short scenes added iirc? And that little blank-screen-radio-montage sequence.

watched Gone Girl for the first time recently, didn't hate it.

Not seen Mank, looking forward to The Killer next week.

Good Girl was the definition of "meh" when I saw it, though I'm hard-pressed to remember a thing about it other than Tyler Perry playing his part with extreme finesse.

Somehow I hadn’t noticed before that Tom Verica has a small role in this

"Jim Dunbar"--I shouldn't, but I'm having a hard time remembering who that is. One of the local police?

He appears as half of the duo having the TV conversation with the killer.

Creepier and more corrosive than I remember. That “Hurdy Gurdy” song keeps coming up in my memory.
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 2 November 2023 19:59 (seven months ago) link
Donovan can be used to such amazingly creepy effect in movies: throw in Goodfellas and To Die For.
― clemenza, Thursday, 2 November 2023 20:27 (seven months ago) link
JG’s performance more unnerving than I remembered, and of course I kept thinking of his role in “Nightcrawler”.

He looks so haunted and broken towards the end. "I need...to know. I need to look him in the eye."

"Hurdy Gurdy Man" (and pop music in general) in Zodiac:

The usual mistakes--I describe the beginning as the San Francisco night sky, forgetting the first murder takes place in Vallejo.

(There's a part 1 to that, Donovan in various other films, that I will post later after I've had a chance to listen to it myself.)
― clemenza, Thursday, 21 March 2024 21:57 (two months ago) link
I thought this film would have a lingering effect on me when I moved to SF last summer. Instead it's just creeped me out about Vallejo.
― Cosmo Vitelli
belated but lol when i drove thru Vallejo a few years back i kept flashing back to that opening scene w/the wide shot of the city at night, fireworks popping off everywhere.
― omar little, Thursday, 21 March 2024 23:05 (two months ago) link
Exactly the shot I misidentify. Also, I had intended to talk about the supporting cast--I almost put it up there with Godfather II for all the small supporting roles beyond the three principals--and typically forgot.
