hey gordo, just watched american splendor while i was snowed in, and loved it, thanks for the suggestion.
and for all the adaptation lovers, i agree, its a great movie! just wondering if you happened to have read the book that movie was adapted from.... i feel like the reason that movie is so great is that he adapted it from a book, but the "story" from the movie is very different than the "story" from the book, because he(charlie kaufman) wanted to focus on bringing out the style of the book instead of the actual text. very artsy.
