Squee Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Synecdoche, New York may just be the two movies that will save 2008 from being a complete disaster when it comes to movies. I'm definitely looking forward to this one! http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809873025/trailer ^HD Trailer ^Not so HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Dylan Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 In a shot, you can see that the warehouse actually is contained... within an even bigger warehouse. Looks fascinating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOCfan Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm a massive fan of Charlie Kaufman and I'm hoping this is going to be something really special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 btw, that yahoo link isn't really HD. it's just scretched out and has a shitty as fuck player. It's HD'er compared to YouTube's shitty as fuck everything. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest olson Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 i like charlie kaufman and i will see this, but the trailer didn't amaze me. i can't even tell what the movie is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 A guy wants to do something special before he dies and builds a huge set inside an old warehouse and he ends up building a part of New York... I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AOOproductions Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm not super excited about this because it didn't seem to garner as much... or any buzz from Cannes. i was expecting rave reviews from there, but it didn't seem to stir much up surprisingly. And with a cast like this headed by arguably the best actor in the industry next to Daniel Day Lewis and a writer as brilliant as Kaufman, how did it not get buzz?

chenGOD Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I think the resolution on the YouTUbe is better than the Yahoo one. Yahoo is all pixelated and has loads of compression artifacts... Anyways, the story looks pretty interesting. And i just learned what synechdoce means, so that's neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Whoops - I guess I forgot to mention that you should pick the 480p or 720p link further down on the Yahoo site. My mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mononomo Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 you have to click the link below the video to download a file that plays the hd version I'm very excited...I remember when the script was first being seen by some people and someone said that they didn't believe the art of cinema could handle it LOL edit: oops squee corrected kaufman is a baller I need to watch being john malkovich again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 ok the trailer gives almost no hint at what the real plot is, but in true Kaufman fashion, Philip Seymour Hoffman creates a scale model of New York inside a warehouse complete with real people. oh yeah. http://io9.com/5052021/charlie-kaufman-bui...space+time-trap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it? I'm so confused.... pretentious would have been if he'd mentioned the Berlin film festival, or the Vienna one. Those are the daddies of pretention.
