ZODIAC
Brokeback_Dev:
What are some of your thoughts about the official web site www.Zodiac.com selling items for purchase like pins with the zodiac symbol, shirts with the cipher, caps etc.
Personally, i don't agree that the movie made that much of an impact. It seems they think they can make a buck off of sensationalizing the Zodiac killer.. What the zodiac killer did was awful. I don't see the point of people sensationalizing a very scary part of American History except to make money. and ya know what? He could still be out there. Thats scary
I do like the movie and Jake was great. All the actors did a fine job.. They nailed the foot notes of that time period from the telephones to the old coke machine and even a vending machine to buy cigs. Hehehhe we get to see Jake biting his nails which is gross lol, but its a fact the man does bite his nails. I love to see little pieces of the real person.

Jake was great to look at but unfortunately, he is rapidly turning into an actor who plays...Jake.

Leslie i disagree with your comment. He's an excellent actor and i expect more good movies to come starring Jake. Zodiac included as one of Jake's great movies.. I don't think he's going anywhere but up. Now I'm looking forward to his next film, Rendition with Reese Witherspoon.

Well, time will tell.
I cannot imagine buying or wearing a Zodiac pin, tee shirt , mug etc. I agree Dev, wearing symbols of a murderer who may still be out there? Yuck.

Actually, I'd like to see a Jake film where you see more of the personality you see him display in TV interviews. He seems quite gregarious, smiles quite a bit, i.e. like when he was on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He was quite good on that SNL episode as well. Don't they make sophisticated comedies anymore or has that genre debased itself to sophomoric humor! RENDITION looks like it will be a heavy film as well. So many dramas!
Pretty warped for a film website to be selling ZODIAC related merchandise of that nature. I can see selling the book it's based on, but not much else.

I have to agree with the assessment of the pins...I would never wear such a hideous thing...I would never wear a pin with charles manson on it either. that is just plain vile.
I would wear one that said im not paul avery though.. i found that very amusing...The very idea of that twisted individual wanting people to wear his buttons, just made my skin crawl.

I'm waiting for the DVD to come out; I just saw the preview for it on another DVD recently.
Tidbit: little bits of it were actually filmed at my workplace. The crew transformed a parking attendant's booth into a radio station, there were older cars placed around the lot, and they might have done some filming in a basement as well.
