lol excerpts"
"My father was real bullheaded, and he did have a temper, and he did hit me, but did he kill people? I don't believe he did," she said today. "I just don't think he was a murderer or the Zodiac.
"I have fond memories of him, even though he went off on me now and then," she said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hendrickson said she didn't think much of Perez's side of the family.
"My father found Deborah and her mother, a dime-a-dance girl, in Tijuana, Mexico, and brought them up here to live," Hendrickson said. "They lived in a place with dirt floors. That woman had seven kids. She used my father. How can you believe Deborah?"
What's more, she said, "my dad read the Bible every night of the week, and he was always preaching that every man should support every kid he fathers," she said.
Not that he didn't hang out with some shady characters, Hendrickson conceded. "If anything, it would have been his best friend ... who carried a sawed-off shotgun, who might have done something like the Zodiac," she said. "But not my dad."

Reminded me a bit of of "The Day of the Jackal." They both have to build suspense by letting you in on logic and technicalities of the cat and mouse game more than the average thriller; in both cases because a historically-aware audience member already knows, to a certain extent, how the climax (or lack thereof) will go.

Haha, yes, I'm sure SFPD, investigating the Paul Stine murder, gave one (1) shit about the Solano County Sheriff's Office.

Hard to believe a dude skilled enough to pull of Zodiac and Social Network - tough stories to tell - could falter so hard with down the middle commercial dreck like Benjamin Button and Dragon Tattoo.

I will defend BB (which has a melancholy way about it which strikes me as more distant from middle-of-the-road sentimental Hollywood fare than it looks) but GWDT was pretty lame and rote.
― ryan, Saturday, 13 July 2013 20:18 (ten years ago) link
There's an episode in an early season of The League where a dude hides the sex tape he made with his wife in the Benjamin Button sleeve because he knows no one will ever want to watch it. And then of course the biggest loser of his friends finds it, because he wants to watch Benjamin Button.

it seems like there's no longer any stories that he's driven to tell. something comes across his desk and hes like 'well i guess i can make this'

Yeah he's clearly contemptuous towards the film system these days. I hope he doesn't start doing shitty middlebrow cable series..

yeah the watch and them exchanging looks as he just offers up incriminating details

I have watched this movie way more times than is healthy, I think

doesn't really come alive until viewing 4 or 5 imo

Every time this is revived and people start talking about it, I want to watch it again...the look on Ruffalo's face during that interrogation--I think he ever so slightly arches his eyebrow at one point, trying to mask his incredulity.

ruffalo and edwards are so great throughout but that scene in particular is so great. so many little moments and glances.

"Well, we'll be checkin' in on that..."
I think the Ruffalo reaction I had in mind happens between 45 and 47 seconds. But yeah, everybody in this scene. And the dead-centre framing on certain shots. As good as it gets.

didn't it come out recently that it's definitely NOT that guy?
― piscesx, Friday, 9 August 2013 18:11 (ten years ago) link
it's been pretty clear for 10+ years that it's not that guy or longer. graysmith's the only one who rode that hobbyhorse (into the ground, admittedly)
bottom line is that zodiac turned graysmith into a legit nutbar. his followup to the book the movie is based on is just, smdh

I've read about the implausibility of Allen too in a couple of places.
In terms of the movie, I wouldn't want it any other way, though. It's ambiguous and open-ended enough as is--I'm not sure it could support much more in that direction without disintegrating. It needs some kind of anchor, and Allen serves that purpose perfectly.
― clemenza, Friday, 9 August 2013 18:26 (ten years ago) link
yeah i have no problem with the movie or the original book even though Allen is not at all the guy -- mainly because it captures more of the kind of fear/hysteria that the Zodiac created, even in Graysmith, which is more the story to me
