Watch the trailer for Synecdoche, New York after the jump
Synecdoche, New York sounds pretty kooky. First of all, the title. I had to look synecdoche up in the dictionary:
n. A figure of speech in which a part is used for the whole (as hand for sailor), the whole for a part (as the law for police officer), the specific for the general (as cutthroat for assassin), the general for the specific (as thief for pickpocket), or the material for the thing made from it (as steel for sword).
I still don’t really get it, but at least now if you asked me I could give a more intelligent answer than pointing out that it kinda looks like ‘douche’. Anyway, despite the funky name and mixed reviews, Synecdoche is the directing debut of Charlie Kaufman, arguably the best living screenwriter, and it stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who’s a pretty good actor once you get over the fact that he’s kinda weird lookin. Oh, and that weird guy from Last Action Hero is in it too. Long story short, I hope this movie is good so I don’t have to cut myself.
Also, if you’re interested, Wired has an insanely thorough interview with Kaufman himself. Who knows, maybe I only like him because he was played by Nic Cage.

It’s nice to see that nobody does that annoying “FIRST” shit on this site.
It’s also nice to see rare posts about minorities on this site as well.
Hoffman fills that “weird looking actors who aren’t Steve Buscemi” niche very well.
fuckn a, vin #.
us whites have to stick to our munitions and form a militia, for god the almighty!
PSH looks like a giant ball-peen hammer.
Charlie Kaufman in a wrestling match…
Yeah yeah yeah yeah…
“Death comes faster than you think.”
He may be a minute-man, but Death still has a huge cock and isn’t afraid to use it.
So, in other words, a “synecdoche” could be called “a pedantic person’s synonym”
Cock is a synonym for the synecdoche of a rooster’s ballsack? Fuck Mike I don’t underget englash.
Not surprising that “FIRST” is the most insightful post on the other blogs you frequent, Viny.
FORSHAK! BABY, FORSHAK!
So is Green a synecdoche for paper money, or for the dirty fucking hippie that should get off my lawn?
VAGINAL DENTATE!
Let’s talk about how Hoffman did in Red Dragon. Duct taped to an office chair, lit on fire, and rolled down a hill. And Edward Norton was too much of a sorry ass to stop it. And don’t give me that “he didn’t care” crap. He’s a whiny pussy.
If you kids don’t sing a long with Uncle Fekky, “HE’S GOING TO KILL ALL YOUR MOTHERS!”
The definition of “Synecdoche” as described by an architect. Donkey is either a Contractor, brilliant, or both.
I prefer Homonym, California.
Will Smiff thinks euphemism means you’re acting like a child.
Charlie Kaufman will also be directing the silver screen adaptation of Antonym and Cleopatra.
Why do blacks and mexicans stink?
So blind people can hate them too.
“Also, if you’re interested, Wired has an insanely thorough interview with Kaufman himself.”
HaHa! Good one Vince!!
Jon Voight looks like shit in the banner pic.

::open another natty ice::
Dubs - as long as he hate Canadians and Italians, too, that’s the main thing.
That weird looking guy from Last Action Hero? I thought he quit acting.
