extremely exicted for this movie. only question is, any idea when its going to be released domestically?

The poster is perfect. I'll take 2 of them. One for home and one for the office.

that's just beautiful. i wish i knew kaufman's process.

This will probably be very interesting and make no money.

I hope this is good, from what I've seen it looks like it will be.

But will probably be overlooked due to lack of lightsabers and grandpa's with whips.

Where can I buy a copy of this poster? ? Anyone?

I just saw this movie yesterday (nov 19th 08) and I was completely blown away. Not only was it immense in scale, but it was exceptionally executed in writing, acting and filming. I left the movie theater feeling fragile. Its hard to explain this feeling to anyone who hasn't gone through any sort of major life event: death of a loved one, supreme loneliness, and similar epic heartbreak events. I made my girlfriend wait with me through the song played during the credits to see the entire film; something I do only with the best movies I've ever seen in theaters.

Charlie Kaufman has birthed his greatest film yet. When I drove 40 miles to see Adaptation when it was released, I drove home and spent the next 6 hours thinking and painting one of my proudest works. Synecdoche, NY was an equally impacting experience for me but it's narrative reached a far more epic scale. Not only did it probe the deepest emotions in every direction of my being, it did so in such tragic/comedic sense that I was pulled in so many directions from moment to moment that I didn't know how to feel. This was the first movie I've ever seen (in thousands of viewings) where I've found something funny enough to laugh out loud only to be driven to tears by the subject matter and acting less than a few moments later. I've never legitimately laughed and cried so close together in my life. The movie is brilliant and it doesn't let you go. It doesn't let you go. It holds on to the fucking bitter end. Just like you would. Just like anyone would.

From the beginning, if you've ever felt a modicum of the kind of quiet desperation hoffman's character felt throughout the film, you will be date-raped by this movie in the most disarming/yet pleasantly rewarding way possible.

It is a movie made for those of us who have stared into the abyss. It is for those of us who have charged head on into life only to be slapped and knee-checked to the sidelines, wishing we'd done something more. If only... but, not.

It is for those of us who have ever second-guessed our choices in life.

It is for those of us who have strived to express the human condition in terms of anything other than our own experience: artists. Those who seek to express something otherworldly, only to find that everything we create is a lonely rendition of our own sad experiences... over and over.

It is an expression in the form of film, in the form of theatre, in the form of humanity.

It was the best movie I've seen in the whole of 2008 followed closely by Burn After Reading.
