just saw adaptation. pretty cool. quite stoned. any thoughts? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only just got round to seeing donnie darko, yet alone this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I liked it very much. A bit long at times though... Some of the scenes with Meryl Streep and the excentric orchid collector where brilliant. Got a good laugh when she got high and sang sadly with the telephone-toot. |

telephone toot? |

i thought the ending sucked. other than that it was pretty original. the ending was just such a cop-out. |
||||||||

yeah I thought it was real fun. really good movie, Mr Cage did some fine acting, different from what he usually does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not that Mr Cage is that bad, I liked him in e.g. Wild at Heart. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup! he is good in that. "Hey, my snakeskin jacket...Thanks, baby... Did I ever tell you that this here jacket for me is a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom?" |

Cage was excellent, Streep was great, the orchid guy was ok, but the end just ruined it...........changed the whole vibe of the flick. |

the ending was intentionally a cop out. it ends exactly how charlie kaufman didn't want it to, with car chases and people overcoming challenges, and what not. it's supposed to be like comic irony. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
its funny because thats exactly where his brother took over his brother loved car chases and gun shoot outs and what have you. thats why you see it because he wanted his brother to help him write. very well done |

i haven't seen it yet, but i LOVED Being John Malkovich. Spike Jonze is quite the genius. In fact, Being John Malkovich is one of the few good comedies i've seen in quite some time. So I will more than likely see Adaptation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I believe the genius lies more with Charlie Kaufman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought charlie kaufman just was a made up non-existant person? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah: real genius that he gets to write the hollywood cliches towards the end, too bad the movie then actually does getting boring. cool thing: a friend of mine that studies film is gonna do his thesis on the difference between us and european writing and that the latter isnt by a written down standarized system and wether that should, so he gets to read the stuff from that jerk-off film guru in adaptation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no the film is about the filmmaker: his insecurity made me feel nervous because of recognistion: genious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i loved the bit when the guy got killed by the crocodile. it was cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was ok, seemed very much like an indi film worth the watch once |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
charlie kaufman is real. its his twin brother donald that is made up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah! i also like the part in 'deep blue sea' where samuel jackson gets eaten by the shark. best part of the movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sharks are cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The whole point of the ending was that Charlie accepted he just couldn't adapt The Orchid Thief as it was written, so just stuck on a conventional ending. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i liked it when he had a wank over meryl streep's picture. it was funny. |
||||||||
|

I finally went to watch it today and I can't get Div X to play the fucking thing properly. Teach me to be a fucking pirate, I'm not buying the fucking DVD either. Fucking fuck it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sure it will be on TV next year sometime :P |
||||||||
