Guess who Joshua saw a few days ago, while walking down a New York street? Everyone he looked at! (Oh, the wit, the wit.) In particular, he crossed paths with someone we all know (except, probably, for those of you who come here looking for nude photos of Patricia Arquette or Hillary Duff - sorry to disappoint).

And then, flustered, confused, I uttred a sentence I will forever regret, the following idiotic series of words.

"I mean, literally, you're like one of my Myspace 'Heroes.' I chuckled. He kind of smirked, perhaps not really understanding. Oh my god, what the fuck, Charlie Kaufman is above Myspace. I think. Right?

A shudder ran through me, and as he said "Thank you" again and returned his eyes to the ground, another thought came and went: "Nicolas Cage. F---, you're good. Your portrayal of Charlie in 'Adaptation' is DEAD ON.

Haw haw haw. Also, Charlie mentioned that Synecdoche being in pre-production at the moment. You can check out Joshua's report of the encounter here.

And Robix points out this New Yorkerpiece about film-makers who like to play with narrative structure. Needless to say, Charlie gets a mention.
