adaptation is funnier if you watch it after being john malkovich, because there's that scene from the making of being john malkovich in adaptation.
adaptation is in my top five. i think I have a soft spot for nic cage. in the sense that if he plays an idiot, i buy in 100%.
I haven't seen Synedoche New York or Anomalisa yet though.
Also, Jack Black is a total virtuoso, he's been that way from the beginning, for me...but obviously nobody's gonna cast him in anything except short fat guy roles. It didn't help that his first dramatic-ish commercial role was in the King Kong remake, which was the worst film ever made.
