Charlie Kaufman, the screenwriter behind such cinematic mind#*$#s as Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, has gotten fed-up with the narrow-minded fickleness of film.

It's gotten so bad that he is "seriously thinking" about working for the narrow-minded fickleness of television.

Kaufman told The London Paper that the filmmaking process has infuriated and frustrated him so that he may make the jump to TV.

It wouldn't be Kaufman's first time on the telly. That's how he got his start. He wrote episodes of the extremely underrated Fox sitcom Get a Life and The Dana Carvey Show. Those were shows where he was just getting his feet wet and trying to break into the biz. Just imagine what he could do with complete creative control.

Now multiply whatever you just imagined by 20 million and put down some newspaper so that your head exploding doesn't ruin your nice clean carpet. Kaufman has one of the most inventive, creative and deeply philosophical minds in the entertainment industry. His plans for a TV series are bound to be just as crazy, thought-provoking and entertaining as his highly acclaimed films.

The real question is, would anyone watch it? Pushing Daises featured a zany and deep format similar to Kaufman's dangerous mind with a lighthearted style, and it seemed to be pushing up daises from episode one. Ideally, his work would work best on a pay cable network where he's allowed to roam free. But his prior work in network television could prove beneficial since he already knows the boundaries and limitations of the medium and could surely find some interesting ways around those obstacles.

Either way, come to us Charlie. We'll accept you.
