[DougWardBlammo]

I used to run with many of the characters in the book. Haven't seen the movie but the book is reality.

donald=don a alt ternary

the real Charlie met the real Susan she is the redhead as he got to see her nipped cheesecake

Charlie was Suzerainty in alter alter persona within the film she/he alone searched for the ghost orchid which turned out to be just a flower after going around in circles to arrive at the conclusion as Duse ex car Machina ate Don/Larouche

the Don/Larouche stole Charlie/Sus script called the 3 or ternary de-constructionist the Ouroboros 3 tones on the green phone lines

Killing John Malkovich was a pretty cool movie

@cairnnation

LOL! Wow you are an idiot!

@cairnnation

"Sorry, but I don't owe David Kaufman's memory a gratuitous pass... my opinion isn't changed at all by considering Mr. Kaufman's memory."

I wasn't referring to your opinion of the film. I was laughing at you for this long-winded response to someone who was making a joke. DONALD Kaufman is a fictional character. Charlie has no brother... ergo you were not actually disrespecting anyone's memory. I just thought your response to that comment made you look rather comically foolish. :)

Or to quote fellow user afacewithaview: "You really really didn't get the point." LOL.

Thanks for adding this vid...This is the purpose of the internet, sharing means caring!

[cestlina]

personally.. I love Nicolas Cage as Kaufman but I don't on Kaufman and his films.. It's so...... him .. like.. killing john malcovichi.. malcovitchi? ;; etc..

[cestlina]

gosh... till now you know, I thought she is actually that kind of person as described in the film. So i couldn't believe how she apears as writer on google and amazon.. anyway.. her writings were so beautiful.

Great interview. Thought the movie was BRILLIANT as was the book.  I love Susan Orlean. She's one of the greats of our time.

R.I.P. Donald.

[kevinsmellls]

@djscoo Good job. You're doing Charlie and all of his fans proud.

[degauze]

Excellent, I was just thinking how she must of felt... I'm glad she liked it.. sounds like there were a lot of parallels to reality here..

[Lee733qc]

it's not a rendition of the book...try to separate yourself from the book and watch the film again. it's a tremendous work of art.

[afacewithaview]

@cairnnation you really really didn't get the point.

[Fathoms2004]

@cairnnation I think you are being very disrespectful to the memory of Donald Kauffman.

Thank you so much for uploading!

Amazing, romantic, passionate book. Digressions, yes, but they come back around to reveal a playful curiosity detailed through her simple writing of her experiences... The movie, bizarre, genius and original, through still with all the elements; protagonist, antagonist, mentor and love interest and more. Charlie Kauffman was brilliant, as were the actors!

i teach her kid art!

I saw this book at Borders Books Eureka California Bayshore Mall. Sat down in Seattle's Best Coffee & read about 6 pages & I really enjoyed the book. I decided I wanted the book. a lot of people rated the book a 3 star but, truly deep down in side why would you let some body else tell you what to rate it. rate it your self. you might enjoy it like I did

No matter what. real life will always pale to Hollywood

[alicetheactress]

Oh thank you so much!

I have always wondered what Susan Orleans thoughts on adaptation would be! A funny interview to boot!

Having only read the book and seen the film....i had wondered what Orlean looked like! Even while reading the book I always had the image of Meryl Streep in my head!

Thanks for this! Very Interesting!
