"Zodiac" surprises Graysmith

"Graysmith, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, began doing his own legwork on the case after it had dragged on for years. He wrote the best-selling nonfiction books, "Zodiac" and "Zodiac Unmasked," about the maddening story.
Meeting Graysmith in person during his publicity tour for the movie, I was struck by how right Gyllenhaal had gotten him. Friendly and talkative, Graysmith nevertheless had a touch of the genial obsessive about him. We talked about his theories on the killer and his relationship with tough director David ("Seven") Fincher. Graysmith watched the filming, but he hadn't seen the movie yet - he promised his best friend, David Toschi, he'd wait to see it with him. Toschi investigated the case for years for the San Francisco Police Department.

Question: How did you get along with David Fincher?
Graysmith: I'll tell you the absolute truth, I think David Fincher's about the brightest guy I ever met. He just simply has the kind of mind where he would make a great detective. I never thought I'd see a director who would sit down and discuss the ethical questions about "Dirty Harry" and the thirst for blood by the public and what this case really means. Things that don't even end up in the movie. ... He had Inspector (David) Toschi come by, and Toschi's my best friend, he lives very close to me near Golden Gate Park. I've heard people asking questions for 10, 15 years, and Fincher asked questions nobody ever thought of. ... The movie's done, and they're still calling me with questions.
The thing about Fincher is he loves the technical, but unlike a lot of people that came out of MTV and commercials, it isn't soulless. He always has a passion for the thing.

Question: Fincher has a reputation as a taskmaster.
Graysmith: He could be caustic, and yet he's always polite. He's very polite on the set - it's like, "Shut up! ... please."
He does multiple takes. I had a friend of mine who had a line in the movie: "Jack, there's a call for you on line four." Did it 37 times.

Question: It seems as though you would relate to that, since the movie portrays you as following out your own obsession.
Graysmith: That's me. I'm one of these guys, I simply get hooked on something and I go nonstop. I like getting to know everything and you just keep doing it, and eventually you get it. ... I've got this little flat, and as I gradually work on books, it's like "The Pit and the Pendulum." One entire wall is boxes to the ceiling on "Zodiac." One entire wall is another book, and now I'm working on another one. And at night it's like global warming, you can hear the books and the papers shifting.

Question: When you were on the set, was it strange to see yourself, and people you knew, portrayed by actors?

Graysmith: Mark Ruffalo actually came to San Francisco and stayed with Inspector Toschi for a long time. Came back, he was Toschi. He had the hair, the mannerisms. He just re-created the entire character. But Jake (Gyllenhaal), when he sat with me, he told me things I never even realized. Somehow he knew I was a Boy Scout - I guess they have it in the movie, but I never said a word. He captured the deferential thing. He's got the same clothes I wore, he uses the same drawing board that I had at the paper. And then I didn't really grasp the obsession thing until I saw what they were doing with it. You sorta don't realize it, you know, that you're doing it.

Question: Was there concern about making a big movie in which the whodunit doesn't have a definitive answer?
Graysmith: Fincher said he wasn't doing this like "JFK," trying to convince the audience (about the guilt of the prime suspect). He doesn't care about convincing the audience. [...]
But if somebody we never heard of straggles in at intermission in the movie and confesses and proves it, heck, I'll write a last chapter." Source: www.Heraldnet.com/stories

Any description of the history of NT that doesn't say "Mica" and "Prism" is missing some major details ;) !

Well, come on! I wrote a synopsis that was already too lengthy. I felt it sufficient to say that Dave Cutler's life at DEC gave him OS Guru status and left it at that. I didn't mention Gordon Letwin either. On either point it's rather like mentioning Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike in a history of OSX -- technically accurate but of marginal relevance.

I had a strange experience at Best Buy. About two days before the iPad 2 came out I went to my local Best Buy to ask about availability on release day. The employee I spoke to told me essentially that I should wait. He told me the iPad 3 was coming this fall and I should either skip the iPad 2 or purchase something like the Zoom. I pressed him how could he possible know that, I said I read all the rumor mills and such and time and time again no one actually ever knows that information. He said "they all did" (best Buy employees) it was posted on there "E-Learnings" site which is basically an internal Best Buy training/notification/product information system.

So here is an employee telling me not to purchase an iPad 2 because he thought the Zoom was better AND I should just wait because iPad 3 was coming out this fall.

WTF?

So I submitted for the job, a resume name, but NO resume !!!!!!!

"It would be a nice idea."
What does that mean? I have lots of nice ideas for getting money when I didn't do anything.

By this logic, shouldn't Universal also get royalties for every CD player, Cassette player, and radio sold?

Might as well cash in on the giant cash cow that is the iPod :rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly... "oh, well this ipod thing plays music and it's the best mp3 player out there... how can we get this to benefit us for absolutely no reason?"

asinine.

My expectations for the next generation 17" MacBook Pro:

2.33 Core 2 Duo
Better GPU
160gig HD
Higher quality displays. No more of this uneven backlighting crap.

My hopes:
Longer battery life
Get the power adaptor below 70 watts so we can use them on planes
Lower price

Hell, I'm buying whatever comes next. I just hope there are some solid spec bumps across the board.

And most importantly, I hope Apple fixes the crappy quality issues that have been plaguing their portable line all year.I agree. But I refuse to buy any "So-Called" MacBook Pro until they have implemented the easy access HD professional feature they put in the MacBook. I would rather buy a C2D MacBook with that feature than ever buy a MBP without it. :mad:Post #81 Apple has, on occasion, introduced new or upgraded features on its consumer computers when those computers were refreshed between refresh cycles of their professional computers. For example, at one time, the iMac had a faster SuperDrive than the Power Mac. Of course, with the next refresh of the pro computers, the new/upgraded features seen previously in the consumer products have always been added.Good to remember. Thanks. Hope it's the rule this time as well.

Since apple is part of the Blu Ray consortium wouldn't you think they will use blu ray only?

Not a chance in the near future. Blu Ray and Sony are in utter shambles right now.

This is a smart move. It had to happen sooner or later.

John Gruber would eat Steve Job's ***** if he could. His opinion is extremely biased.

I don't disagree that it was a smart move, either. It WAS a bait and switch though. Most of us realized that making the OS open would result in a ton of forks with horrible UI and poor casual user experience- look at Linux on the desktop.

I think Google is doing the right thing to give Android a better product. However, that doesn't make it not hypocritical, or the exact opposite of everything they promised their clients (the manufacturers).

Google finally figured out that they need to exert control to keep the OS consistent and the user experience good. Problem is, doing that also means going against everything they spent the last three years preaching against.

Also, it's extremely important to note that the criticisms being leveled against Google is that they're showing favoritism and imposing addition restrictions on competitors such as Facebook, if you read the articles.

How many of those in the first list have the capability of fielding an airforce?

Precisely. The UN mandate is to enforce a no-fly zone, amongst other things, tasks that are particularly suited for certain nations. I'm no gung-ho supporter of this action in Libya, but it strikes me as similar to Bosnia, with the real political pressure coming particularly from France for very real reasons.

Expect the overt US involvement to rapidly scale back soon.

Funny also that we heard a DAMN THING from the media regarding the fact that ONLY CONGRESS can declare war.

Did Ronald Reagan get a go-ahead from Congress in 1986 for attacking Libya?

Do you use stacks for accessing applications? If yes, then why wouldn't you want to use launchpad?

I use Spotlight, but Launchpad is terribly inefficient compared to stacks. You have to click on its icon to invoke it, hunt through potentially a bunch of different screens, click on a folder if you've organized your apps, and then click on your app. With stacks, I move my cursor down to the dock, click on the appropriate stack, and then click on my app. 2 clicks vs a button press, a bunch of swipes, hunting, and 2 more clicks.

All I will say is that you are not a typical user. You are not even close to typical.

OK. So maybe you need
ten thousand cores and three million gigabytes of RAM. Don't think for an instant that the majority of the world shares your requirements.
It must take a lot of cores to RIP DVDs and seed them...:confused:

It would be a shame to Apple toss aside its consistent record of having the industry's best support.

But it takes more than a few weeks of anonymous "uptick" to indicate such a dire turn of events.

Now, if such a thing did come to pass, I welcome every complaint and flame Apple can get: feedback is what gets them back on track.

And it's a shame about the discussion staff--seems like an odd move from where I'm standing.

I am confused about this. Did Best Buy get iPads but tell customers that they don't have them? So now Apple pulled the iPads from the shelves, but there weren't any on the shelves...

Why would they do that :confused:?

Apple's solution is fine by me. They wouldn't have done anything if there wasn't so much press about it, but I guess that's a good reason (one of the only ones) for the press to exist. Still, they all managed to get it a bit wrong, though. I noticed (like so many others out there), that the map wasn't recording my EXACT location, but just cell towers and wifi spots I may have accessed. The info didn't really bother me. It wasn't like it had me pegged at my local pub - or did it?!?! =)

I looked at the map from a recent road trip. It showed cell towers 50 miles off the route I was on--probably next towers over in case I headed that direction. It's the apple bashing trolls who are blowing this way out of proportion.
