Adaptation.. Spike Jonze. 2002.
The first two thirds of this film are extremely entertaining. Metafictional tomfoolery to the max. And then, in the last third, it turns into a normal American action movie, and it’s incredibly boring. Which is a metafictional thing, too, because within the film, Kaufman is advised that people only remember the ending, so the ending of the film should be kick-ass. But like I kinda mentioned with The Protagonists, purposefully boring pastiche is still boring.
You should really stop watching this film after fifty minutes. In that case, this would be the rating:

Teknolust. Lynn Hershman-Leeson. 2002.
This is a very amusing film. There’s a lot about it I liked. So I really feel bad about this roll of the die:
Edit: I’ve now watched the commentary track, and I feel even worse about the die.

Vanilla Sky. Cameron Crowe. 2001.
This film is so much worse than The Beach that I regret giving The Beach a ⚀. But I don’t have a die with a skull and crossbones, so it’ll have to do. THIS IS AWFUL!!!?!1!!!
