wwoorrddsss: Charlie Kaufman: But she thought you were pathetic. Donald Kaufman: That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.

rgodfrey: Not really a splatter flick guy, but I kind of loved CEMETERY MAN (1994). Dead people keep leaving their graves and cemetery caretaker Rupert Everett has to shoot them (when he’s not falling in love with them). Sui generis horror oddball that reminded me a bit of Charlie Kaufman.

dan_allen00: Rewatching Charlie Kaufman’s wonderful I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS and remembering how Jessie Buckley nailed that Pauline Kael scene. Already, she is one of those actors who elevates the films she’s in (see also MEN, a terrible film she’s very good in).

MeHitchc0ck: “ just enjoy the moment, honey. Don’t let your brain decipher it until it’s dead.“ -My wife giving the Charlie Kaufman side of my brain some pretty solid advice

secretbranch98: If I had a nickel for every time Charlie Kaufman wrote an acclaimed film about men who are afraid of commitment/having kids, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

dancow: Charlie Kaufman picked John Malkovich for “Bring John Maklovich” partly b/c of how funny Malkovich’s name sounds. Which makes the story about Malkovich initially thinking the movie should be “Being Tom Cruise” even funnier

Rev0lverM: I’m thinking of ending things (2020). Written and directed by: Charlie Kaufman.

IanJamesMilheim: I really like a dour film. Probably my favorite genre. Your Sideways', your Punch Drunk Loves, your Lost in Translations, your Banshees of Inisherins, your Charlie's Kaufman.

Rudespot: It will take time to understand. I'm amazed by own brilliance said Nolan and then he met Charlie Kaufman.

GandharvrajG: Charlie Kaufman’s the only dude who can turn writer's block into a script, dramatize it, make fun of the fact he dramatized it, and criticize himself and Hollywood for it all while keeping it fresh

Danieltunnard: In my list of books to buy it goes Bellos - Les miserables Efim Etkind - The Translator Lisa Taddeo - Three Women Jac Jemc - False Bingo Charlie Kaufman-Antkind which suggests it was Efim Etkind that Bellos mentioned and I've got one funny name mixed up with another

bettyandrita: Charlie Kaufman is so flop…I feel like a lot of people are able to use their own ailments to make good art, but he just makes stupid shit

amoviepitchbot: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Kaitlin Olson must save Lionel Messi from the hands of Frida Kahlo in this movie directed by Charlie Kaufman

WolfyWolf0131: Charlie Kaufman Peaked in 2004. It’s Been Downhill Ever Since. Eternal Sunshine is bittersweet. The movies he went on to make are just bitter.

spencer_magnus: Great movie, old-time fav:

bryanbehar: One of the perks of a long career are the brilliant co-workers you meet along the way. Two of them were honored at the WGA Awards last night for their lifetimes of groundbreaking work. Mazel tov to Yvette Lee Bowser and Charlie Kaufman. Great writers, great people.

mags_mclaugh: “No Charlie Kaufman movie is a guy who does one thing movie. Really the thing I want people to take away from this is that Uncut Gems is just The Gambler again and that’s why we call it The Sambler” Me: “Who calls it The Sambler?” “Me and Dave”

rishmunjall: films made by yórgos lánthimos, charlie kaufman irk me so much cause majority of their duration you’ll see inexplicable things happening and yk that the movie is rife w symbolism,,,things you usually can’t figure out unless you watch a video essay. so why bother watching the film

akshayalladi: One of my favourite English movies ever. So poignant; and thought provoking about the human mind like all movies written by Charlie Kaufman

zahara_hawa: I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.,Charlie Kaufman,Fun, Night, Friday ,

ddlongan: I’m very late to it but I have really enjoyed watching Severance. It makes me think of The Truman Show in that everything is like a social experiment, or Charlie Kaufman in Being John Malkovich. It’s so intelligently made and fully formed from the start.

GuitarSunCat: One stupid story today, pronounced that Charlie Kaufman made 1 Sci-Fi classic 15 yrs ago and never topped it. !st of all, Vince McMahon tops himself every time he goes out. Other people perhaps entertain more subtle motivations. I've seen several brilliant Charlie Kaufman movies

GuitarSunCat: This movie is maybe the greatest movie ever made. It's astoundingly rich. You could study it. Write books about it: i'm thinking of ending things | a film by Charlie Kaufman

Dan_Zinski: Jessie Buckley already kind of played Pauline Kael in that Charlie Kaufman movie. So she's out for Tarantino's movie, right?

Siemioon1: Yeah this is Charlie Kaufman alright

BabyPrudence3: “The companies are getting something very very valuable… for much less than they should pay”. To reiterate Charlie Kaufman, they can’t do anything of value without screenwriters and we deserve respect for our beautiful, complex work.

amoviepitchbot: Adam DeVine, Ryan Gosling and Mark Ruffalo team up against Rob Lowe, Bradley Cooper and Tessa Thompson in a blood feud. Written and directed by Charlie Kaufman

nkkos: A Man Called Otto just work for me. Such a sucker for these kind of movies. Wonder what would it look like if it's directed by Greta Gerwig or Charlie Kaufman. Then have Jon Brion on the scores.

5T0PH: No one's got Jane Arden's psychodelic opus 'the Other Side of the Underneath'(1972), Charlie Kaufman's haunted puzzlebox 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things'(2020), Ulrike Ottinger's booze cruise 'Bildnes enier Trinkerin'(1979), or Richard Elfman's DIY romp 'the Forbidden Zone'(1980)?

carablueadams: Watching Charlie Kaufman’s stirring WGAW lifetime achievement acceptance speech and realizing that all these years I’ve been convinced he’s actually Nicholas Cage

izzwhatitizzz: These two came up to mind. NWR and Charlie Kaufman are the most unique directors/writers as long as i can remember.

StocksbyPrakhar: Charlie Kaufman: There are no rules, Donald. And anyone who says there are is just... Donald Kaufman: Not rules, principles. A rule says you *must* do it this way. A principle says, this *works* and has through all remembered time. So what are some sound trading Principles?

beyonderisdead: I’m going to be honest, my knowledge of puppeteering needs some work, but I’m fairly certain Richard Teschner had some impact on Being John Malkovich (1999) and Charlie Kaufman. Puppets from Prinzessin und Wassermann, “The Princess and the Watersprite," 1913, Richard Teschner

etselauren: Stop making movies about screenwriters. Nobody gives a shit! None of you are Barton Fink or Charlie Kaufman or Donald Kaufman. Bogie from In a Lonely Place. William Holden in Sunset Blvd.

MsBJPeart: Female equivalents please .... Charlie Munger, NassimTaleb, Charles Darwin, Peter Kaufman, Peter Bevelin, Richard Feynman, Albert Einstein, .. got to be some women in this mind game.

commiebravo: anyways Charlie Kaufman was snubbed and i’ll be forever angry at these soulless pieces of art being regurgitated on a year-round basis. go read Antkind.

QThePast: there's something very "Charlie Kaufman-simulation" about grad school in history. everyone is treating what they are doing super seriously as they toil away about 'milk production in central Wisconsin from 1948-1972,' which will be read by precisely 8 people.

LouisReus11x: Art: “Whatever is most abstract may perhaps be the summit of reality” – Pablo Picasso Business: “Where’s mystery. There is a margin” – Peter Kaufman, who's the author of Poor Charlie's Almanacs

rickdank_o: All beaten by Charlie Kaufman-meets-Highlights For Children

comredhf: Charlie Kaufman’s 2023 WGAW Laurel Award for Screenwriting Achievement A...

purplechrain: it’s weird that film Twitter loathes EEAAO/Daniels & thinks they’re cringe/bad filmmakers/pretentious etc. because they feel like stylistic & storytelling descendants of Charlie Kaufman who was the darling of the equivalent of film Twitter back when I was in high school.

Wilfrid Scawen Blunt Poem
Her Name Liberty
