She's certainly a pretty famous actor and gets a fair amount of praise, but most people don't know that she's a screenwriter too, and adapted the screenplay for Sense and Sensibility, a movie I really love.I think Adam Sandler deserves credit for his more serious roles. Most people see him as a childish comedian but he's much deeper than that, when he wants to be. less

It turns out the show was an hour-long drama series. All these years, I have been under the impression that it was a sitcom similar to "Ozzie and Harriet" or "Our Mrs. Brooks" or "The Donna Reed Show". (I've never seen any of them, either.)~
Pretty much any genre, other than gory horror, sci-fi or superhero is fine.

Lots of dystopian sci-fi movies come out every year, and ironically now a days they're all kind of crappy and cheap looking, like many aspects of the hypothesized economy of the future.But there's still a lot of great ones to choose from, like Children of Men, V for Vendetta, The Lobster, and yes... Idiocracy. I love that movie but the answer people always give to this question is Idiocracy. No Idiocracy!Also you don't even have to name a sci-fi, some movies predict the future without even setting it there, like Network. less

Or do they mainly do one or the other?It's hard to choose a favorite, but Charlie Kaufman (who mainly just writes but directed one of his films which happens to be my favorite of his) has had a very large personal impact on my life.
