Even though it's a comedy...
I didn't choose
Zodiac because it was a serious film.
Comedies are as valid as dramas or thrillers or horrors or anything else. There aren't any inferior genres.
The only times genres are in their doldrums are when the most creative talented people don't work that genre.
Look at the crime genre. We've had good/great stuff on a streak since THE GODFATHER (and up to last year with the popular THE DEPARTED), decades after that studio-gangster run in the 30s/40s.
The Horror genre though suffers from being worked by music video hacks and geek-jobbers (Eli Roth).
Maybe thats why I hope Rob Zombie shuts all those assholes up and hits a homerun with his HALLOWEEN remake.
