At 3 in the morning last night my roomate and I decided to watch this flick by one of my favorite doods, Charlie Kaufman(sp?). The last time I had seen it was in the theaters a long time ago, so some of its magic had worn off on me. Adaptation is one of those omgwetspants kinda movies where you can pick up little things here and there everytime you watch it again. I'd have to say its in my top 5...includes humor, history of the world montage (special place in my heart for those), and just totally owns.

 

Anyone else have a good experience with this movie?

 

And damnit I still havn't seen Spotless Mind.

Adaptation is probably my least favorite after "Being John Malkovich," "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," and "Human Nature." I don't know what it is, but I cannot make my way through the movie, it's almost tedious to me.

 

I tried watching it, recently, to motivate myself before one of my fiction writing assignments... Didn't make it. And that's like the fourth in a string of attempts.

 

Kuafman's a great writer and I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine either.

It was probably my favorite movie of the year when it came out (2002, I think), although I thought that was a pretty poor movie year. I remember thinking how it was cool that he managed to basically write 2 movies, and in a way that neither one subtracted from the other. Some say the ending kind of ruins both movies, but I disagree.

 

 

I don't remember it that well any more, and I should definitely see it again.

 

And Eternal Sunshine was awesome.

the name of the movie sounds familiar, who's in it?

Of Kaufman's movies that I've seen, I thought Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was the best, followed by Adaptation, and then Being John Malkovich.
