Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Sorry. Netflix is a movie rental place that is online. You pay 20.00/mth and you rent as often as you want and you keep them for as long as you want without overdue fees. Youpick a list of mivies and for everyone you return they will send you another one. MISSY SAHM to some special kids!!! Excuse Me While I Go Raise Tomorrow's Future.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Is this the movie you are talking about? ADAPTION (2002) Cast: Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Director: Spike Jonze Categories: Comedy Drama Rated: R (Violence, Not For Children, Profanity, Substance Abuse (Alcohol, Drugs), Sexual Situations ) Synopsis The creative team behind Being Malkovich -- director Spike Jonze and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman -- return with this equally offbeat comedy, in which Kaufman himself becomes the leading character. Charlie Kaufman ( Cage) is a gifted but profoundly neurotic screenwriter who, after the success of Being Malkovich, has been hired to write a script adapted from the non-fiction book The Orchid Thief by Orlean. But while Charlie is obsessive about his work, he's also intensely paranoid, given to deep depression, socially inept, and terrified of talking to women, qualities which are making it difficult to get on with his work or hold on to his tenuous relationship with girlfriend Amelia (Cara Seymour. Meanwhile, Charlie's identical twin brother Kaufman (also played by Cage) has shown up to move in with his brother. Emotionally, is Charlie's polar opposite - a loudmouthed, over-confident, superficial party animal who has an easy way with the ladies. has decided to follow his brother's footsteps and take up screenwriting as well, but embracing the dictates of screenwriting tutor McKee ( ), he's cranking out a cliché-ridden serial-killer thriller when not busy making time with new g.f. Caroline (Maggie Gyllenhaal). As blazes through his screenplay, Charlie slowly picks away at his story, in which author Orlean (Meryl Streep) chronicles Laroche (), a scruffy but devoted plant enthusiast who tries to save rare species of orchids by stealing them from their natural home in the swamps of Florida. As and become better acquainted, they find themselves attracted to one another; similarly, Charlie finds himself increasingly fascinated with , and finds himself falling in love with her, even though he's only seen her photo on the dust jacket of her book. Charlie arranges to meet , but is too nervous to confront her face to face, so he sends (who has just scored a seven-figure deal for his script) in his place, while he attends a screenwriting seminar held by McKee. Adaptation also features Tilda Swinton, Judy Greer, and Tobolowsky. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they doing, why are they doing that.....oh, that's WEIRD...I did like Larouche as he was an interesting character (and yeah, I thought about AS) but what started out as okay ended up being too weird plot wise and I left feeling like I just wasted my 2 hour relax, get away from it all etc. Also, hated Meryl's character.....

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Hi Johanna, I totally agree. I think I might like the book, but the ways the movie extended the book weren't very plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
