Is it Mamet or is it Adams??

I found myself laughing out loud the other day while reading Michael Umansky's description of the nine ingredients to Alex's "Secret Sauce." Then while listening to an NPR interview today with actor Chiwetel Ejiofor for the new David Mamet film, Red Belt, Terri Gross introduces him as playing a character in a plot "where things are not what they appear to be, because after all, this is a film written and directed by David Mamet." Suddenly Umansky's tongue-in-cheek "secret sauce" came to mind. Lo & behold, substitute the name Mamet with "Alejandro Adams" and they are one in the same!! :-)

That's So Cliche!
Well, his point is not exactly the same, but the Mamet connection also comes up in Steve's blog on the Around the Bay site.
A Mametism!
That really ties in. I had not read that before. How perfect! Live moment to moment, scene to scene. To have Mamet's name referenced twice is not mere coincidence. What a compliment! And it's nearly as easy to say "It's an Adamism!" :-)
