This is the only Charlie Kaufman movie I haven't seen.  (And in case you're wondering, here is a list of all of the Charlie Kaufmann movies to date:  

2008  Synecdoche, New York

 2004 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

 2002 Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

 2002 Adaptation

 2001 Human Nature

 1999 Being John Malkovich

 He also seems to have done a little work on Kung Fu Panda 2--believe it or not--but I don't think that qualifies it as a CK movie.  (But I have seen it--& liked it, too.)

Being John Malkovich is one of my all-time favorite movies.  Maybe even top ten . . . I don't know, I'd have to construct an actual top ten movies to be able to say.*  And I am extremely fond of
Human Nature, Adaptation,  & Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, all of which I've seen at least a couple of times.  It took me three goes before I really liked Synecdoche, New York.  At first it just struck me as pretentious and weird for the sake of weird (as opposed to weird because it can't be helped).  At second I just thought it was stupid and boring.  Then I had my heart puréed, and watched it again & it made sense to me.  (It's mostly a movie about what it's like to live after you have been totally destroyed by someone else.)  In fact, just writing about it makes me want to watch it again . . . which I may have to do pretty much right now.  Or maybe I'll watch Ultramarines: Warhammer first. 

Later . . .

So this Confessions of a Dangerous Man thing . . . I liked it.  I really liked George Clooney & Drew Barrymore.  Such a weird storyline.  So weird that you kind of start believing it after awhile.
