Watched Zodiac (2007 Film)


I watched this with my girlfriend last night and finished it in the morning. It's based on the real life events of the Zodiac killer, a psychopath who rampaged San Francisco in the 1960's and 1970's.  


What sadden me most was the fact that most of the Zodiac letters and victims get very little show time than they should have. There's also a bit a historical inaccuracy and dramatization in there as well. 


Most of the movie is about trying to figure out who the Zodiac killer really was. Since nobody knew for sure, the movie kinda floats around a bit with little purpose for awhile. It does give some more interesting theories that have been thrown out there, however I think the movie goes a bit too slow during the last third. 


But I admit, it's a pretty good movie. I'm just nick-picking a little too much. It's not exactly the regular horror movie, but just thinking about the Zodiac killings makes me a little nervous at nighttime.

My Day Yesterday: Pizza, Angry Birds, and Zodiac


Managed to play my last bits of Metroid: Other M for Wii. Not a fan. 


Picked up my girlfriend from work, and went out to a pizza place. 


She likes the arcade in there for the ticket machines even though there's nothing she wants to redeem (i.e. pointless addiction to bright lights and tickets), and she only put one dollar on her game card and walked over to some machine. Spun the wheel, and won 1000 tickets in one go. Not bad.


While I was waiting for her to finish eating, I got some playtime with Angry Birds Rio. 


We also went to the library where I got to read the monthly edition of The Progressive, and checked out a few things. 


When we got home, she put some songs on her iPod and I studied some Japanese. Trying to learn Katakana by heart. 


We also watched Zodiac, a movie based on the real life events of the famous serial killer. We almost finished it, but it's pretty good.
