Once upon a time, a guy named Charlie Kaufman slaved in TV, writing sitcoms. He did this for several years. Then he wrote a film script called Being John Malkovich and a few years later it was filmed and became a surprise hit and everyone went "Wow" and "Gee" and he won accolades ahoy and it was bye-bye TV. Fast-forward three years and a humble Aussie built a website about Charlie, because the Aussie had not much better to do.
One of Charlie's colleagues in TV was a writer named Rick Cunningham. Last year Rick wrote a somewhat autobiographical script called Killing Charlie Kaufman. Ahem. The script was recently forwarded to me by Armin, an amigo of Rick's, and I enjoyed it very much. It's pretty damn funny. Long story short, I've been given permission to post this cool little piece of Kaufmanalia.
So without further ado - and let's face it, I just went through a whole lot of pointless ado - Killing Charlie Kaufman. (PDF, 190KB.)
