I saw this movie for the second time last night. I liked it the first time around, and loved it last night. I don't feel like typing a huge report on the movie, just wanted to hear opinions form everyone here

One of the strangest concepts to become a movie ever.
As strange as it is, there are weirder films to get millions of dollars backing them. For example guess the film: (Pitch Man) "Ok, I am an unattractive pool cleaner. I go to a male prostitutes house, he has to leave for some reason, and asks me to watch over the house while he is gone. I accidently destroy his million dollar fish tank, so I need to get some money. So I decided to accept his phone calls, and become a whore to make the money back. Along the way I have to sleep with all sorts of fucked up women, including a black male transvestite and a one legged chick. Wackieness ensues." (Financers) "Brilliant, here is 40 million bucks, go do it."
Waxy, i'm glad we agree on this...this is one probably one of my favorites...i've seen it 3 times maybe and it got better after each viewing..Charlie Kaufman is a genius, probably my favorite of his (although i've yet to see Human Nature)
I loved this movie. Havne't seen it in a few years but it's a great flick. Charlie Kaufman is a brilliant writer and Spike Jonze did a great job with it.
They're rumored to be working together again which should be awesome. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend you check out Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Both great flicks.

yeah..i LOVE Adaptation...i need to give Eternal Sunshine another chance..i didn't dislike it by any means but it just seemed to be a tad overrated to me..i just prefer BJM and Adaptation i guess

I've already seen Adaptation and loved it. As a matter of fact, its sitting at home ready to be viewed. I made sure I got "BJM" and "Adaptation" back to back from Netflix...I'll watch this tonight or sometime this week

You know too much about that movie, you should be put down.

amazing flick. i prefer adaptation and eternal sunshine (by a long shot) over it, but still amazing none the less.
speaking of kaufman, am i the only one who thinks confessions of a dangerous mind is insanely underrated?
Nah, it was good, but not as good as his "big 3." It just seemed really choppy and could have benefited from being a bit longer, and fleshing the story out.
Adaptation was amazingly written/directed. Like I said, I've seen it before, but it was so much better the 2nd time. I'm seriously floored how good this movie was.

I agree..my second viewing had the same effect..Cage is wonderful..I need to buy this movie

I'd agree about the 2nd viewing. I should probably watch it again here sometime soon. I haven't seen it for a loong time.
I found the same thing with BJM and ESOTSM as well. The first time through those flicks it was hard to keep up with it all. The second go around was much better.
