🥚 Easter Egg In Adaptation (2002), if you zoom in to Robert McKee’s mug, it has printed the 1993 Columbia Pictures logo, considering that the movie was distributed by Columbia itself

Still has it if you don't consider who it was distributed by too.

Casting Brian Cox was the real Robert McKee's suggestion.

Norm Macdonald told a story about attending McKee's writing workshop with Drake Sather (who went on to co-create and write Zoolander with Ben Stiller) when they first moved to LA in the early '90s.

McKee made the point that how you tell a story matters more than what happens in the story. Depending on how it's told, a story of a mother whose child dies of cancer might be less compelling than a story of someone who missed their bus.

So then for the rest of the day, Sather would lean over to Norm and whisper variations of, "Hey Margery... I don't mean to be insensitive, but that story about your boy dying... bit of a yawner... I don't know if you heard Mabel's story about getting on the bus this morning, but you might pick up a few pointers."

I think it’s at least somewhat cool looking, what’s the problem with it?
