Within the hard rendering of self-consciousness upon watching Synecdoche, New York last night, I felt like I was going to vomit. However, this was not a bad feeling. Through deliciously surreal scenes, infections and diseases, much symbolism, and an occupied house that is in constant burning, hard topics of life are shared in complete honesty. Although a bit depressing and mentally exhausting, this film was personal to me, and was life affirming. You might hate it, but I think you should watch it none the less.

I like Charlie Kaufman a lot. Synecdoche was one of the best films I saw last year, though it gave me a headache. There were so many layers of symbolism, but some of it only briefly touched upon. I wish he'd expanded upon some of his ideas more. Honestly, I thought it would work better as a novel. It'd be the kind of book where you're constantly flipping back one-hundred pages to draw some connection. I don't know.
Anyway, glad to hear you'll be at the PRFM.
i really like these all but i love the first one for some reason
I agree with Beck.
The first one rocks! It looks like you are blowing sparkly things :)
