have you seen synechdoche, new york? all charlie kaufman films get sadder as they go on, but in fascinating ways. i can't think i can say what all i feel, but words like ineffable come to mind. the films are like minds. there's too much going on, it's all passing, hurtling toward final dissolution, and on the way, everyone is everyone else and we're all hurtling through space together endlessly. and i'm sorry philip seymour hoffman is not here.
