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.

Since they have plenty of time on their hands now, I'd like to take a moment and speak to the scheduling executives over at FOX.
What the hell are you doing? You don't have a new episode of The Simpsons for three weeks and then, out of the blue, you pop a new one into the schedule just for poops and giggles. Yes, you'll grab the people who have this programmed into their DVRs, but what about those few remaining lost souls who still use paper, pencil and their memory to remind them that this week's episode of The Simpsons is brand new. Those are the viewers you are going to miss. So, perhaps in the future you should just stop programming new episodes into the December schedule and just start again in January, or whenever American Idol frees up a spot for you.
Thank you. Now, to your requests and dedications.
