    What did the board think of Zodiac?

    The Fincher movie?

    I've heard that its good, but a bit long.

    Almost like he tried to make a movie that watched like reading a book (if that makes sense).

    Is that what you all felt as well?

    I liked it. It did seem to be structure/paced strangely for a movie, but it didn't make me like it less. I just kept thinking it was over, and then more movie happened.

    It was good. The theater was freezing, so I was ready when it was over. I'd definitely watch it again.

    It is structured more like a novel with very detailed scenes that most movies would edit down. The story takes place over a number of years, unlike the typical Hollywood serial killer plot that unfolds in a relatively short time. But that's what I liked about it. You really got the sense that it was an accurate depiction of the search for the Zodiac killer and not just a by-the-numbers Hollywood movie.
    Here is my signature. I worked very hard on it for you.

    It's my favorite movie of the year so far.

    Is the Board a hive-mind now?


    Why didn't I get the memo? Damn, where do I go for the wi-fi hook-up?

    Really good, and it's a long film, but it's a necessarily long film I think. I don't see more than fifteen minutes of footage being able to be cut tops.

    I loved it. One of the best of the year for me.

    Unfortunately, the complexity of the story does present some challenges, which might explain why the film failed.

    But that cheap shot at Dirty Harry was, um... priceless.
