I. Fucking. Loved it. Saw it last week and I'm gonna see it again this weekend. I was actually speechless afterwards for like 30 min. My friend and I just sat there. I still can't even formulate a coherent thought about why I loved it.
I feel like I need to see it 2 more times at least, though, to even begin to catch all the jokes and references.

Re: Synecdoche, New York
OK, so I was wrong on how to pronounce it -- which also made me miss the play on words.
Synecdoche (pronounced "si-NEK-duh-kee" meaning "simultaneous understanding") is a figure of speech in which:
* a term denoting a part of something is used to refer to the whole thing, or
* a term denoting a thing (a "whole") is used to refer to part of it, or
* a term denoting a specific class of thing is used to refer to a larger, more general class, or
* a term denoting a general class of thing is used to refer to a smaller, more specific class, or
* a term denoting a material is used to refer to an object composed of that material.
"The use of synecdoche is a common way to emphasize an important aspect of a fictional character; for example, a character might be consistently described by a single body part, such as the eyes, which come to represent the character."
Or maybe if the character is building a model of a city to represent it (and himself??)
. . . and it takes place in Schenectady, NY.

Re: Synecdoche, New York
HA! I totally missed that, too. Not being from the northeast I assumed I just had no clue how to spell the city's name. Thanks Mere!
(I watched death of a salesman last night. My friend is reading it right now and when he's done we're gonna see it again. And again. And again. Woo!)

Seriously, I am just glad I didn't embarrass myself in front of the movie theater ticket salesperson.

Re: Synecdoche, New York
Well, they are REALLY important. They could really affect your future negatively if you give them the wrong impression.Seriously, I am just glad I didn't embarrass myself in front of the movie theater ticket salesperson.
