in 10-15 years, people will look back at this picture and say it is one of the best pictures of all time.

Mark my words.

Saw Charlie on the Colbert Report. Sounded like a pretty neat movie, although I doubt my podunk town back home will have it.

Only 6-11 years to go.

Hey look! It's been 10-15 years!

It's definitely in my *personal* best pictures of all time. But there doesn't seem to be much talk around it. Back in 2009 Ebert called it the best film of the decade.

In this BBC Poll of 177 film critics in 2016, only 12 of them put it in their top 10 films of the 21st century. (EDIT: forgot to paste in the link: http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/201608 ... -who-voted)

What is sad to me is that in these 11 years, Charlie Kaufman has had particular trouble getting any of his films or TV shows since greenlit and produced. There's been tons of projects he started on and pitched, but really one one movie got made.
