Zodiac!

i saw zodiac the other night... i think it's fantastic. this is a boring entry, not much to say.
well, i do have something to say.
i have one slight problem with the movie. if you see it then you'll know exactly which scenes im talking about: theres a couple of scenes that dont fit in with the whole movie. the narrative arc follows the attempts of journalists and policemen to catch the zodiac, and theres some gratuitous scenes that seem like an attempt to move it into 'thriller' zone away from the 'detective' genre; an attempt to measure up for all those people expecting another se7en. which is unfortunate. theyre actually quite good scenes and as a result it is probably going to be those scenes that stick with you when youre in bed at night in the dark.
my problem is that i didnt want to be walking out of the theatre thinking about those scenes, i wanted to be thinking about how much i love robert downey jr, how interesting the plot pieces were, how annoying beuracracy is. they distracted me from the more important elements. but oh well. its still a good movie, and best use of a donovan song ever.
which leads me to my next point:
robert downey jr, please marry me. im not gay but im willing to learn.
that guy is the most entertaining, charismatic person born of this earth, and if you dont agree with me i will fight you.
