Charlie Kauffman = Philip K Dick?

Anyone else notices alot of similarities in Kauffman's stuff and that of author Philip K Dick. Especially in the title of this one Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind?

it definitely is prob an influence. he was hired to do an adaptation of Dick's (haha) Scanner Darkly. apparently they didn't like his work on it though and they're not going to use it.
i read that at beingcharliekaufman.com.......or whatever it is

a scanner darkly is a phillip k dick novel about a narcotics agent who persues a drug addict who turns out to be the agent's alter ego. another personality of the same person. given that the script kaufman produced was rejected, i am assuming that donald kaufman's 'the three' is intended to mock the absurdity of darkly's concept.

u are winner.

a scanner darkly is really good tho. the difficulty in adapating it as kaufman points out is that a lot of it is about what isn't seen, and at the same time there is no real payoff. so even tho it's in his range, if he's like Dick, he won't be doin it for a while.

I felt that he didn't know how to direct the film until the third act.

I felt the opposite way. I felt everything was perfect until that horrible third act which completely ruined the film for me.

Did you get the joke?

I hate the way that the moment someone says they disliked the third act of Adaptation, the supporters attack said person's intelligence with, "Did you even get it?"

I didn't mean that in an attack-like tone, and I realize some people do say it that way. Text cannot convey what my mind means to say.
