Most devotees of the unsolved Zodiac Killer case believe that the unidentified murderer was a lover of movies and theater. The belief that he was a theater buff is based on the Zodiac's repeated quoting from Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado -- and on the
notion that Zodiac hailed the taxi cab (whose driver he would murder) in one of San Francisco's supposed theater districts. The idea that the Zodiac was a movie-nut is based on a claim to that effect from reporter Paul Avery, and on seeming references
to movies in a couple of the killer's letters.

I think all of this is completely mistaken. Nonetheless, the Zodiac did include a phrase familiar to Beatles fans, in this letter of 1971:

"This is the Zodiac speaking. Like I have always said, I am crack proof. If the Blue Meannies are ever going to catch me, they had best get off their fat asses + do something. Because the longer they fiddle + fart around, the more slaves I will
collect for my after life. I do have to give them credit for stumbling across my riverside activity, but they are only finding the easy ones, there are a hell of a lot more down there.

"The reason I'm writing to the [LA] Times is this, they don't bury me on the back pages like some of the others.

I bought a Zodiac Sea Wolf the year before the murders began. Got it
at the BX in the military, 1967.

Look at the symbol above the writing on the face.

I've heard they're excellent watches. It is indeed a popular belief among students of the case that the unknown killer obtained his name and symbol from the watch.

Didn't last too long - but I never had it cleaned/serviced.

It got moisture in the face, and eventually stopped working, but that
was in 1970, so the watch only lasted me three years. Can't recall
what I did with it.
