"Synecdoche New York" Another WTF movie.
I seem to be watching a lot of them lately. Can anyone explain that one?

1. I finished about 2/3 through; I don't even care how it ended. Pretentious crap, IMO.

2. I had to watch the whole thing
Because my daughter is a big Philip Semour Hoffman fan.

3. Great movie.

It's an open-ended movie, but here are a couple of explanations:

It reminded me of Fellini's "8 1/2," if you've ever seen that.

5. Ebert called it the best film of the past decade.
I'm going to have to check it out.

7. I actually loved it ---
It was essentially a movie about the creative process -- how it is influenced, how it morphs over time, how it can be a never ending quest for an artist.
