Actually when you think about it, the article would still be better even with that change.

I thought that was the joke, the guys not really that pathetic, its a summation of everything that makes people feel weird about going to the movie alone. You#re supposed to have Tatum Girlparts reaction.

Just pointing out "hey, going to the movies isn't really that weird at all" isnt nearly as cutting or funny.

Dick Van Dyke Finally Confesses To Zodiac Killings

While only the first of the notorious cryptograms he coerced newspapers into publishing in 1969 was ever solved, Van Dyke confirmed that his identity would have been revealed had his later clues been deciphered, noting that one of the encrypted messages begins with the words “HI I AM DICK VAN DYKE FROM TV AND FILM I AM THE ZODIAC KILLER.”
