Sep 18 2008'Synecdoche, New York' Trailer: You'll Love It
I couldn't tell you exactly what's going on in this trailer to Synecdoche, New York, but the film is written and directed by Charlie Kaufman and stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, so I'm sure it's as great as it seems.
That was the librarian from Ghostbusters at the end, right?

I am oddly a little in love with Philip Seymour Hoffman. The priest pedophile character of his in the trailer posted yesterday took me a little out of it, but I'm right back around with this.

considering it's charlie kaufman, i'm assuming its not a coincidence that synecdoche sounds a lot like schenectedy (a town in new york), but then maybe i'm crazy.
can't wait to see this.

@ 12 - Yes, it's a pun on Schenectedy.
Looks AMAZING!

Oh for Christ's sake. "Synecdoche" is not a reference to "Schenectady," and even if it were, that is not what "pun" means.

@ 19:
Sincere apologies Jessica. Did I say 'pun'? I meant 'play'.
Here are some more helpful Wikipedia links for you!
