Re: Good response, and the movie "Adaptation"

I have not seen Adaptation either, not sure if it's even out here yet. So what I say is just based on my interpretation of the story synopsis I read. Besides the intertwining of life and film (Woody Allen anyone?), a main theme is supposed to be a screenwriter trying not to succumb to the Hollywood formula for scripts, yet his life and subsequently his script does follow the pattern. It almost sounds like an "art imitating life imitating art", or "life imitating art imitating life" double whammy. One I'll have to get to.

I have also only been to one "preview", and funnily enough it was Apocalypse Now in '79. The movie was pre-released in 3 or 4 cities to get audience reactions to different endings, before picking the release ending. The "Toronto ending" was not used, and I have never seen the released version...think I'll watch the Redux version tonight.
