Zodiac
DH and I went and saw Zodiac tonight. That makes 3 movies in three weeks, awesome!
Beforehand we went to Red Lobster because LobsterFest has been seducing me for weeks. It wasn't so great, but it wasn't bad, either. We had to go out to the wilds of Pittsburg, which is incidentally one of the places we might possibly be able to afford to move to, so it was an opportunity to scope the place out. It's not terribly appealing - it seemed bereft of trees and with a high concentration of chain everythings in enormous conglomerations of stripmalls. Though, come to think of it, I think we were technically in Antioch. In any case, not in love with the area. However, it didn't suck so much that we couldn't stand living in a "starter home" there for a few years, probably. Real estate, man, it's crazy.
Zodiac I really enjoyed. I came out of it surprised at how long I had been ion the theater - always a good sign. It was a strange combination of creepy and nifty seeing all the familiar locales. The sites of the first two murders are very close to where I live; Columbus Parkway is three exits down the 780 from me, and Lake Hermann is one exit in the other direction. We camped at Lake Berryessa often when I was a kid. So that gave me some shivers early on. I was a little concerned that the unresolved nature of it would stress me out (true crime stories can make me a little paranoid), but that, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to be the case. Whew.
I have to wonder how it is to see that movie if you aren't here. Knowing where everywhere is and how physically far apart the various sheriffs and police departments are definitely contributed to my enjoyment in a big way.
I didn't really think about it while I was watching, but it seems like a very different movie for Fincher (who I love). Which is cool, also.
Hey, I'm devolving into not making much sense. Time to go to bed.
