First, whatever... by Porcoddena	Nov 7th, 2006 07:23:46 AM
Heh
I can't wait to see this by ChorleyFM	Nov 7th, 2006 07:28:34 AM
This is the first film I have really looked forward to in a long time.
Am I the only one who thought Adaptation was.... by DiscoGodfather	Nov 7th, 2006 07:43:47 AM
...overrated, self-important, bizarre for the sake of being bizarre drivel? Come on, anyone?
This looks superb by greyspecter	Nov 7th, 2006 08:36:23 AM
The answer to your question, DiscoGodfather, is that only troglyodytice plebes don't appreciate Adaptation. No, seriously. Well, I liked it...

Stranger than Fiction a mainstream juggernaut? by godzillasushi	Nov 7th, 2006 08:49:18 AM
I thought this was a smaller kind of movie. DiscoGodfather, I really didnt like that movie. It was so wierd and pointless.
trailer looked dumb... by The Atomic Worm	Nov 7th, 2006 09:21:06 AM
...how many times have we seen the idea of an author interacting with his/her own characters? The film might turn out to be good, but the trailer made it seem limp and unoriginal.

I agree with you, it was a huge let down after Malcovich. This looks good, could be Ferrell's Truman Show.
I'll see this one even though it has Latifah by Jonesey1111	Nov 7th, 2006 11:27:43 AM
...she just ruins movies for me, even though she was good in Chicago.
Adaptation Sucked by SkeletonParty	Nov 7th, 2006 11:46:47 AM
Adaptation started off interesting then it got boring, then annoying, then forgettable. This movie looks worse. Sometimes I think America has no culture at all.
DiscoGodfather... by beastie	Nov 7th, 2006 12:54:03 PM
I don't completely agree, but I did think that Adaptation might have been too long. That feeling might have come about because I watched it at 3:00 in the morning, though. Maybe I should watch it again so I can have a valid opinion.
Animal Man? by CLMoose64	Nov 7th, 2006 01:12:18 PM
Does this concept strike anyone as being extremely similar to the last arc of Grant Morrison's run on Animal Man? I'm sure it's a coincidence, but still...
Adaptation was great by Teamwak	Nov 7th, 2006 01:24:25 PM
Oh dear I seem to be out of step again. I loved Adaptation and I thought the script was one of the best srcipts I have ever read. He even told you at the end of act 2 what he was going to do "But what if it doesnt have aby drama?" "Then make some!". Great movie
Worth a look.. by Ironmuskrat	Nov 7th, 2006 02:37:47 PM
If for no other reason than to see Will Ferrell in a more subdued roll. I know the guy can make me laugh by running around screaming and acting the fool. I am interested to see if he has any acting ability at all.
Dramatic Will Ferrell by nose melton	Nov 7th, 2006 03:26:31 PM
Anybody see "Winter Passing?" The karaoke scene? The dude has some drama chops.
yes! by BadMrWonka	Nov 7th, 2006 03:34:18 PM
thanks for the review. I've been a reader of the site forever, and I've always loved Copernicus' reviews. always well written and well thought out. this one looks very good, at least worth a matinee ticket. count me in.
Animal, mineral... by NeoDevilbaneX	Nov 7th, 2006 09:17:07 PM
... or PLANT?
Yay, Will Ferrel by Neo Technic	Nov 7th, 2006 09:24:14 PM
Man that cracks me up. I still remeber rolling on the floor laughing the first time I watched Elf. And my side still hurts from Talladega Nights.
Hang on... by Doc Savant	Nov 8th, 2006 12:20:39 AM
"Dustin's Hoffman's"? And twice, so the normal typo rule doesn't really apply? Niiiiiice.
Damn you Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Nov 8th, 2006 02:03:56 AM
Damn you Michael Bay
Queen Latifah by the_shogun_gunslinger	Nov 8th, 2006 03:02:19 AM
I have a feeling she smells like sweat, hairspray and pork....and this movie looks like shit...Hoffman, you were better when u werent smiling all the time pre-"Wag The Dog"
