"Synecdoche, New York" - I recently saw this movie, which was written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, the same guy who did "Being John Malkovich."  I was wondering if anyone else has seen it and what you thought about it. I've probably viewed it at least 5 times now and still find something new every time.

So has anyone else seen it? Loved it? Hated it? Why?

Read some mixed reviews, but I checked it out anyway.

Great ensemble cast, but didn't much care for it...

I saw it and was confused beyond belief but I kinda liked it. Smiley
Not sure if I'd be able to sit though it again though... And you've seen it another 5 times GTRM, wow!
Well, despite my lack of patience, I think Charlie Kaufman is extremely clever and has a unique way of writing.

There's a pretty good explanation of what the word means here:
