The author of the book is trash.


Absolutely loathe people like that, no matter how much evidence they get contrary to their beliefs they will never relent. The definition of a true imbecile.

Why are you trolling this board? You made 2 separate threads based on the same thing. I agree Graysmith is a liar and loves making up anything to make his theories correct. The movie even hints at that. It hints his obsession that even the prison visit scene with Darlene's sister showed he doesn't like to be proven wrong.

When did the film ever say that? The film just perpetrates his insane, stupid, obtuse theory of Edgar Allen or whatever being the killer in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

reply

So you act like you know this case inside and out when you clearly don't even know the main suspects name calling him Edgar Allen. I wouldn't be shocked if you proof read the authors book.

reply

I don't have to read the book to know he is an idiot and a charlatan.

I didn't say read the book. I said you act like you know this case inside and out and don't even know the main suspects name. I knew about Zodiac since 2002 and didn't read the book until 2011. I had already seen the movie and knew from various account the author lies in his book.

I didn't have to read the book to know it but I did have to know the main facts about the case like the main suspects name which is on every single zodiac website regardless of how different websites view him.

reply

I know the main facts of the case.

reply

Clearly not if you can't even say the name of the main suspect correctly. Edgar Allen???

reply

Why would I even register it when he's not the zodiac?? I couldn't care less.

reply

I'm not going to disagree with you... He did give some great facts and evidence to the case, but also made up a bunch of stuff as well.

reply

He is really pathetic. And it says a lot about Fincher that he decided to did this film.

reply

The film is great and surprisingly more accurate than I expected, but I wish it would have shown more suspects that were investigated rather than focus on Allen. I do think there is a good chance Allen did do the first three attacks, but it would have been cool to see more of Rick Marshall and to see Larry Kane and Fred Manalli. Well, actually, Kane was still alive when the movie was made so scratch that idea.

reply

i don't think it's a good movie and just like the author, Fincher made up his mind with zero investigation or evidence to back up his beliefs.

reply

I think the film is great...as a film. Unfortunately, the subject matter being what it is, people inevitably mistake Zodiac for an accurate version of events. But yes, Graysmith is a truly execrable human being: he saw an opportunity (his very marginal relation to the Zodiac case as it was unfolding), and has been lying his sorry ass off for decades.

Christopher Nolan is no different.
