But all the while I was enjoying the jigsaw cuts and seesawing through time, I was thinking he was going to blow the ending. I had no idea where it was going but I was sure he'd blow it.
He didn't. He found a perfect symmetry.
The WGA nominations are coming up. This gets #1 from me.
I agree! One of the reasons I love movies written by Charlie Kaufman -
Adaptation, Being John Malcovich, and
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. - is that I don't know where he is going to end up. They are so rich and complicated in their structure and unique.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
