Aaargh, I so want to get the question in the title answered, but am too scared to read this thread again in case it spoils things. It doesn't even HAVE a release date over here yet. Aaargh.

The best part are the docufilm nature bits...

God it's been a long time since I CRAVED to see a movie the way I am for Adaptation!

seventeen years pass...

Watching this for the first time and it’s extremely distracting that Chris Cooper is playing what would now do overwhelmingly be a Matthew McConaughey character

Nic Cage is v v good in this.

He is. This movie is visually quite unappealing IIRC but I appreciate the mechanism of it.

I swear there are more posts about this movie lying around somewhere.

this movie is pretty great.

there's also this video of Harrison ford reading out the name of this film at an award's ceremony and he says "adaption" instead and it's one of my favorite things, but I can't seem to find it on the net anywhere

Cage and Charlie Kaufman are characters in... Jim Carrey's new novel, where Kaufman implores Carrey to play Mao Zedong in his new project.

adaptation is crapola

xp Jim Carrey is a character in Kaufman's new novel (!), as is Kaufman himself.

I loved it when it came out, but then I liked American Beauty when it came out lmao. So I'm just gonna keep the happy memory.

I'll go out on a limb and say Adaptation definitely holds up better than American Beauty.

Nic Cage is v v good in this.
