The Truman Show wasn't bad, and I skipped The Majestic, but this one was great.

Yes - this was great.

super awesome, and way different than I expected.

my favorite Charlie Kaufman is still Adaptation, though.

Yeah?

I thought he overdid the 'quirky' on that one - didn't like it much.

Eternal Sunshine and Being John Malkovich though, are 2 of my favourite movies ever

This movie was impacting enough that I have verbed it a few times.

As in, "Well, might as well Eternal Sunshine it while we can."

And no, that doesn't mean erase our memory. It means--just watch the movie.

Were you on drugs when you posted this? I mean I've read it two or three times, and it almost makes sense

Seen it twice, but have no idea exactly what your verb means. Unless it means "to dance with a stoned Kirsten Dunst in her underwear". In that case, I fully understand.

It's all in the presentation, I think. Cage's performance was kind of frantic. I loved the flick and he did a good job, don't get me wrong, but it would probably have been as classic as Malkovich with a different actor in the double role. I think Cusack could have pulled off the combo of suave guy/neurotic guy more effectively, or at least with a straighter face. But then I also could see a young Woody Allen in that role. That would have been hilarious. He used to act in movies he didn't write, after all.

I liked Adaptation a lot more than Malkovich, though it would be interesting to see Cusack take on the role of Charlie Kaufman.

to Eternal Sunshine: v to enjoy for the moment, despite full knowledge of future doom. [I know that if we start dating, we'll eventually just be sad, because we're definitely going to break up, but we might as well just ~ it.]

That was the major theme that I interpreted from the movie. Well, that and "don't erase your memory." I guess both themes really boil down to, "Knowing sadness can be better than not in many cases." Good movie.

Also, to verb: v to use something not normally used as a verb as a verb. [I just ~ed the word "verb."]

Ahh, meta. How easily I fall to your temptations.

Great, great movie. Immediately after I saw it I bought the soundtrack, and I bought the DVD the day it came out and made all my friends watch it.

It is a very good soundtrack. Jon Brion does some good stuff. "Strings That Tie to You" always reminds me of Sheryl Crow's "Leaving Las Vegas."
