Psycho Killer, Qu'est-ce que c'est?

The movie Zodiac came out on Friday and even though it's about 2 1/2 hours long I want to see it.
Odd as it may seem, I've always been fascinated by true crime. I don't know if has to do with the fact that you want to be the detective that solves the crime and be a hero, or if it's winning a battle of wills against the villain, or maybe it stems from taking law classes in high school.
The Zodiac Killer has always intrigued me since I saw one of those A&E specials with Bill Curtis as the host. Is he still on TV? Anyway, the fact that the Zodiac is still unsolved adds to the appeal.
Also, it looks like the movie itself got some good reviews and it's directed by David Fincher, who directed Se7en and Fight Club, two movies I thoroughly enjoyed.
And yes, I know the Talking Heads wrote that song about Son of Sam.
