OT: 'Synecdoche, New York'

WARNING: SITE PIMPAGE AHEAD

I don't know how many Charlie Kaufman fans there are out there, but I consider myself one (and I think the restraining orders attest to that). His directorial debut, the metaphortastic 'Synecdoche, New York', opened yesterday in LA, and I was there bright and early with all the other film geeks to catch it.

Short story: Mind blown. For the long story, check out the review on my infant blog.

I really want to see it. People are freaking he fuck out over it.

I’m a big Kaufman fan, too — I think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the best movie of the decade. So if this is at least as good if not better, I’m all over it.

No, my Crazy Crab bobblehead is not for sale.

I don’t know if this is Kaufman’s best work, but I do think it’s his most ambitious. Unfortunately, I don’t think it has quite the commercial appeal of some of his earlier stuff (limited as that was to begin with), so it might not get the same acclaim — most major critics seem to be split on it.

Check out The Examined Life. Or don't. Whatever.
