The way RDJ says "fuck" after receiving the threat letter from Zodiac isn't just the most realistic use of the word in any movie ever, it's also RDJ's best acting in any movie ever
In my humble opinion, this is _by far_ RDJ's absolute best performance, and I think it's a shame that he doesn't seem to bother taking on more roles in incredible films such as this one anymore. His performances as Tony Stark always came off as being a bit too similar to his actual personality to me.
3:27, that freakout feels so genuine and realistic; there's a reason Fincher does bunches of takes for the actors to become natural to their performances.
@@DerelictCountry Yes, but Fincher is famously known for being a perfectionist and filming a _shitload_ of takes for every single scene, even ones as simple as a character just walking through a door. It got to the point where RDJ became extremely pissed after doing something for the 70th time, and he vowed to never work with Fincher again.
At the time, Mark had achieved much in his career while Robert was merely a recovered drug addict people did not wanna work with. That all changed of course after Iron Man.
The whole paper seemed to disrespect him for being a cartoonist, unless maybe they just found his personality irritating. Notice in the early scenes that the old guy doesn't seem to want him staying in the editorial room. The only reason he went in was to hand his drawings to the editor. Right before that, the secretary assumes when she sees him with his head down to think that he's spacing off and not doing his work. After the editing room scene, he says something that goes completely ignored by everyone in earshot and then Paul invites the same people out for drinks and some of those same people went. I think they were establishing that he's an outsider, and this was before Paul gets annoyed that he's looming. There's also a scene where Paul shakes his hand and Graysmith says he's been there several months, which probably eliminates the possibility that it's just because he's the new guy. It wasn't until they got a second cipher like Graysmith predicted, which previously got him side eye treatment, that Paul paid any attention to him. So I think when he was giving Graysmith information, it's like he didn't want the editorial department to know he was sharing information with the office goofball. And I think "Who would I tell?" implies that he doesn't mingle much at work because either he gets involved in his work or they're disinterested in him because he's lower down the priority list.

Agreed. You can see tony stark through Paul Avery.
it's so natural I got scared myself

You haven't seen Due Date? The scene where Jamie Foxx picks RDJ up at the hospital--- serious runner up for best f-bomb in a movie, ever

Ya but the last time they'll work together
Every director does this

@@LanceVanceDance84 Yeah I don't blame him. That sounds miserable.
It's so Robert Downey Jr. To keep firing a gun several times after it's ran out of bullets lol
Micheal Imperioli did it first.
Love Avery wearing the “I’m not Paul Avery.” Button😂
This set of scenes sets up so much in such a short amount of time, David fincher is a genius
The bit when he open the letter is so fucking well acted.. Fuckin' love his character
"Nobody calls me that..."
Hahaha so cute!!♥
Nicky Arv I love the way he says that.
I love Robert's look in this movie!
I get more of a hippy look from him
Looks a bit like Johnny Depp.
He looks gay
Toschi: "Paul.......you did call him a latent homosexual in at least one of your articles."
Avery: "Dave? I want a gun."
Toschi: "A g...gun?"
that “fuck” was perfect and I can’t explain why
Dat moment in which tony stark asks for a gun, to bruce banner
One of the best written movies ever. Every line feels on point and the editing is perfect
I NEED a "I am NOT Paul Avery" button .
Rdj is so alluring in this movie, hell!!
it's awesome that Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. are the science brothers in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
Mike Salvucci and Jake Gyllenhall pretty soon, since he'll apparently play Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home
AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL, AKA. MYSTERIOOOOO
“Tell me that’s not a piece of bloody…shirt *FUCK!”* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hulk, ironman n mysterio work together
Ferly Sakri lol
Ryan Gyllenhaal was announced to play Mysterio a couple months before this comment
@@donjon8328 His name is Jake Gyllenhaal
Ferly Sakri czcams.com/video/KoeOIXuhtR8/video.html
The little asides like the conversation with Shorty, or the Animal Crackers rrally helped humanize thia movie
The bloodied shirt. Taken from the cab driver Paul Stine. I’d be just as fucking freaked as Avery here.
Iron Man, Hulk and Mysterio team up....and still Zodiac gets away.
He should be the next MCU villain
jimmy2k4o czcams.com/video/KoeOIXuhtR8/video.html
Now this is an Avengers level threat
Geeky nerd.
Fincher's best film, true cinematic art 💙
The fucking library.
Back when Quinton Beck still worked for Tony Stark.
ALL ELITE ROBOTNIK czcams.com/video/KoeOIXuhtR8/video.html
called him a retard now hes pissed
I can see the future: your ears are going to be blown-out by the next CZcams video that you watch.
ROFLMFAO i love when Paul freaks out i died laughing at that part XD
Why did he freak out? Someone explain?
Nyla The Mystical Cat he freaked out because the killer had the bloody piece of the shirt from a victim and threatened Paul
Avery: "Dave? I want a gun."
Toschi: "I'm not that type of cop."
Wearing a button that says "I am not Paul Avery" only makes it more obvious, lol
Robert is great here. The target practice is the best bit. Did he hit it once?
Ah. Mr. Stark and Mr. Beck working together back in the old days.
B.A.R.F
"I am not Paul Avery"
No, he isn't. His name is Robert Paulson.
Feels weird to have a film where Mark Ruffalo is billed higher than Robert Downey Jr.
At the time, Mark had achieved much in his career while Robert was merely a recovered drug addict people did not wanna work with. That all changed of course after Iron Man.
I assumed it was strictly related to their time on the screen and/or the fact that Avery isn't around much for the third act.
Dude my bones chilled when Paul open the letter, that's how I know this fucking happenedv
trill valley what was it? I don't know. It's been awhile since I saw the film
'you should sell these, you could do well' haha. I want a button lol
No
No one calls you "RETARD!" I promise! LOL 🤣
Marc Maron really held his own with JG
Iron Man & Mysterio before Spider-Man Far From Home.
Are you Paul Avery?
Yes. I am also Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Dolittle, and most importantly. I am Iron Man 😎.
Gojira Wilson3 czcams.com/video/KoeOIXuhtR8/video.html
Nobody calls me that....
Officer Richard Ratetichhhh
How come it was only ever bills birthday and not Dave
That’s right he’s iron man
Randy White czcams.com/video/KoeOIXuhtR8/video.html
RDJr is a BEAST!!!!!!
No wonder beck hates stark
3:27 X"D
What is Paul wearing on his neck in the scene where the shirt gets sent to him?
Looks like an ascot tie. The character 'Freddie' from 'Scooby Doo' used to wear one. It was a 1960's fashion item.
@hippieforever8 I love you. I have always said that to everyone I ever watched this with and they're like "Meh." I think it's AWESOME!

*LANGUAGE!*
I didn’t know Tony Stark had a lead role in Zodiac
Do you wanna bake bread with Peeta Mellark czcams.com/video/KoeOIXuhtR8/video.html
Maybe it was Thanos that sent him the card
Yes, it is true
Woah what MCU film is this?

1:34 why didn't he want Robert to tell anyone about symbol?

Sick. Ironman, mysterio AND the hulk! All together in a parallel universe. This is before their super powers are acquired I see 😎
Back when one could easily own a gun in San Francisco. :(

tony stark called bruce gay... Tony, that isn't nice.
