Can't rush inspiration

Something else. A quasi-autobiographical story of a Hollywood screen writer Charlie Kaufman (played by Nicolas Cage) as he battles a writer's block with his latest work adapting "The Orchid Thief" by Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep) for the screen. No one's ever done a movie about flowers before, so it's understandly very difficult. Adaptation is manna from heaven, witty and brilliant piece of cinema. Funny as shit, too.
