Salon's Best of the Decade: Adaptation

Salon have brought in some guests to write about their favourite films of the '00s and Charlie gets several mentions.

Here's the start of a piece on Adaptation, by Scott Z. Burns (writer of The Informant! and The Bourne Ultimatum):

I have decided to use my memory to answer this and not the Internet -- my memory can't be trusted with where my keys and wallet are, so it may fail me here as well. But if memory is supposed to keep track of what things mean and how much, then mine says go with "Adaptation" from 2002. I remember sitting in the dark being both moved and jealous of what Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze accomplished -- I wanted to give up writing because it seemed like they had taken everything I had ever wanted to say and said it better, funnier and faster.
