Amidst a fusillade of puppies, kittens, penguins, and miscellaneous cuteness, Blog does me the service of linking to the script for Charlie Kaufman’s latest: Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.

It’s creepy and disturbing and the best screenplay I’ve read in ages. My Charlie Kaufman geekdom has just reached a new level. If you’d told me a month ago that I was going to be this excited about seeing a movie featuring the dramatic stylings of Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, and Kirsten “Vampire Moppet” Dunst, I’d have been mortified.

(While reading it, I was afraid that Kaufman was going to recycle a trick from Adaptation: namely, that he’d suddenly realize this was a Jim Carrey film and write in fifteen minutes of fart jokes at the end. Rest assured, that doesn’t happen in this draft. Anyway, The Truman Show was OK. There’s hope.)
