I HAD NO IDEA EITHER! seriously, Fincher uses CGI in some brilliant ways (that shot in Panic Room with the coffee pot handle excluded). just because it's not a 40 foot robot punching a dinosaur doesn't mean the special effects work isn't great. anyway, loved this movie. HUGE step up from BenButton. IMHO, I still consider Zodiac his finest to date

Yeah I didn't really like Ben Button, I liked the way it was shot but thats it, I have yet to see zodiac though.

really? man, i found this to be one of the few movies in recent memory to live up to the hype. I loved it! Where did it lose you? It takes a different direction halfway and I just couldn't not be entertained by it all.

It was a documentary about graffiti that included one of the most well know and thought provoking graffiti artist around and all it did was follow this french guy who thinks hes an artist but really just wants to make money. It was frustrating.

Hm, that's sort of what i really enjoyed about the movie. While Banksy's onscreen time is limited, it is his movie. The concepts & exploration of art, it's worth & meaning, are coming from his point of view. A lot of theories exist as to how much of the doc is real vs. created by Banksy himself. Thierry could very well be a real person, entirely fictional or something in between. It ends up being very subversive and certainly the type of documentary I'd expect a figure like Banksy to make.
