Coffee would help me think

It's a CHARLIE KAUFMAN MARATHON!!! If you're tired of same-old same-old comedy, try one of these.

ADAPTATION
Charlie Kaufman has a book with no plot he needs to adapt, a suddenly successful twin brother living with him, and a receding hairline. Susan Orlean wants to feel passionately about something, writes about flowers, and finds herself in a crocodile infested swamp. Throw in an eccentric orchid dealer, a screenwriting seminar, and a whole lot of voice-over, and you've got a fast-paced ride from start to finish. How Kaufman didn't get an Oscar for this is beyond me.

BEING JOHN MALKOVICH
Craig Schwartz finds a tunnel in his office that puts you inside John Malkovich's head for 15 minutes before dropping you beside the highway outside of town. He starts charging people 200 dollars a ride, and attracts quite a crowd. But what does Mr. Malkovich have to say about all this?

ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND
What if you could erase the memory of your ex-girlfriend/boyfriend? What if they erased you first? What if you decided to erase them, but change your mind after it's too late and try to hid them in your childhood memories? That's what happens to Joel Barish, and yes, he thinks it's complicated too.
