Also, despite the ending being riddled with cliches I always found myself literally clapping for Charlie when he calls Meryl Streep's character an "old, fat, pathetic, desperate drug addict." It's the only time in the film we see his character genuinely angry and it serves to illustrate the arc he's achieved in finally being able to show his true feelings. Even though he meant it as parody I still unironically loved it.

Nic Cage playing Charlie Kaufman is still one of his best roles to date. I love Nic regardless whether good or bad, but I always recommend this movie to people when they as me why I love him so much. It was so powerful to see Nic be able to play two different characters especially with the last act. 10/10 movie for sure for me Kaufman is a genius.

I really like what Adam brought to the table with this episode. He made a lot of insightful points about each movie, and you can tell how much he emotionally resonates with them.

The scene where Donald is discussing his script to Charlie and then Charlie pointing out the flaws of the script made me laugh so hard because all I could think about is how similar Split is to Donald's idea.

I just love when they talk about movies. Like the artistry of them, how their made etc. All three are so professional and are very captivating to listen to when a serious question about movies comes up in sardonicast.

Donald's screenplay also fits into the directly expressed idea of ALL the characters being one-in-the-same due to the shared process of adaptation. Which also fits into a recurring theme in Kaufman's work that all human lives (every single one) are indistinguishable if you step far back enough.

Charlie Kaufman is the David foster Wallace of screenwriting... Vast interconnecting characters and narratives, social commentary, post irony and the search to be understood in an increasingly confusing world.

I got to meet Malkovich three years ago at one of his theatre plays (The Music Critic) where he made fun of critics, audiences and public figures (including himself of course). I later went to the same place he was having dinner and listened to a discussion he was having with some musicians. He seemed really intereseting and clever. I think he enjoys the fact that people recognize his name so much even if not always in a good light. He was super nice and seemed like the kind of guy who would eventually get onboard on a sort of project like Being John Malkovich. He didn't seem at all like the movie shows him.

1:42:21 I think that statement from Adam kinda sums up why the Pirates of the Caribbean films fell apart after 1 and arguably 2. The whole fun of the first movie was not the weird mystical elements, though they were certainly interesting, but the fun, lighthearted adventure and pretty clever gags, the well choreographed sword fights and the simple story and characters. Really, the story of the first movie is basically villains need to break a curse on themselves and heroes stop them. That it. Past the first film, suddenly Jack Sparrow became this weird centerpiece to the whole universe and was made so important to the universe as a whole. The stories started to get stupidly complicated with Davy Jones and Calypso and the ancient romance and the curse behind the Flying Dutchman and all the technicalities of everything, etc. It just kept getting worse and worse as it went on

Adaptation is brilliant. I really liked Being John Malkovich but I found it much harder to connect to. The characters are all pretty dislikable in contrast to Adaptation, which I know is kind of the point but it just didn’t give me the same feel that Adaptation did. Not to take away from BJM (which is still great) but I think Adaptation had a story that was way more of my thing and refined many of the issues I had with BJM; feeling a lot more in line with Kaufman’s later work.

With all this talk of time travel, I wonder if any of them have seen Dark

Grosse Pointe Blank is one of the few movies I would call perfect, and John Cusack is the lead in that one. I think he has an energy signature that makes him great for certain roles.

Fans also speculated that Charlie Kaufman helped write High Tension, the movie that sounds very similar to Donald Kaufman's in Adaptation.

24:31 Cusack is great in Say Anything

I never took Cameron Diaz as actually being trans. I thought that was just part of a broader statement that people are more certain of others as vague entities than they are of themselves. People barely seem to know who John Malkovich is and yet they're all lining up to be him. I think what Kaufman was getting at is that the question of our own identity "Who am I?" is so endlessly complicated that it's ultimately impossible to answer. Whereas if you were able to be someone else, let's just say John Malkovich, then the absurdly simple answer to that question is suddenly just "John Malkovich".

Regarding the musical score of The Last of Us Part II, I do think that the first game had overall better, and more impactful music, and I think it was great because it was only 1 person doing the music, while here there were two (the other was Mac Quayle from Mr. Robot), I do think that Part II had some really great new additions that use the same kind of instruments. But it's important to understand that this game's story and tone are both much darker and different, thus the same soundtrack wouldn't have worked with this game. There is some haunting shit in this, so I think Gustavo still knows what he's doing.

Thanatos388 yeah man i agree , i think its incredibly polished and like who care like you cant interact with stuff in ellies room this time around??? Like you can still look at some stuff in her room , some good detail actually like sams toy from first game and pictures of ellie jesse and dina amd stuff. However though , i think both games have great scores that fit specifically for the story being told . Part 2 score is much darker and dirty sounding which fits the theme of hate and stuff, whereas first games score fits the games story about a man reconnecting with his humanity and alos the theme of love its much more like idk optimistic and poignant sounding , and ofc part 2 has its very poignant moments too within the score for sure. Point is tho , copying first games score wouldnt work for part 2 , and it just seemed like the sardonicast boys ( as well as the majority of people regarding story too) wanted a copy of first game . Rlly is a shame how most people seem to just want new ellie amd joel happy fun time adventure when that would just ruin tue first game and not fit thematically

@@anonymous4k4k And the idea that they paid Gustavo less I think goes out the window of you know that they scanned him and put him in the game this time. That doesnt seem like a gesture you would make if you were paying them less and didnt care about the work that person was doing. Edit: Also I'm playing through the TLOU2 again tonight and Adam is just dead wrong on there being no individual conversations and moments to observe in the town.

@@anonymous4k4k Mac Quayle's score fits for the intense scenes and my favourite part in the game is probably Hillcrest, and his music for that part is one of the reasons why I love it so much.

You guys should review Dogville.
