  1. I watched all of David Fincher's Zodiac (2007) and they never even mentioned Ted Cruz. smdh.

      Zodiac is a terrific film though: @NoChorus was right.

        It's made me want to go away and read all I can about the Zodiac killings even though I know that's antithetical to the point of the film.

          Through more or less just the form of the film, it pushes you towards the same kind of puzzle-solving obsession as the characters.

            While also telling you that, hey, actually, this kind of obsession is unhealthy, irrational, and prurient.

              I don't think I've seen a film that ratchets up the tension so consistently and effectively. And all ratcheting towards lack of resolution.

                In that sense, it's similar to JFK (1991) but so much subtler and so much more effective and viscerally scary.
