it's been a while since i posted here, but i was wondering what you guys thought of the recent movie 'adaptation', which you all know is direct by spike jonze, nicholas cage stars, etc...what really sort of bugged me was how some people just didn't get it, and they thought it was a lesser film because of it. for example, in dean kish's review (which is posted here on movie-list), he feels the ending is the movie's weakest point, but I think he was missing the point of this horrible ending, which was to make fun of the audience for being sucked into these characters and this situation and then having it backfire cruelly on them with a banal hollywood ending. the other purpose is to sort of make your brain hurt when you try to find the exact point at which the screenplay 'switched' into the hollywood version (my guess is right when donald arrives in new york to help charlie with his screenplay). um. so that said, has anyone even seen this movie?
