Seriously, can they make Charlie Kaufman's enigmatic and surreal "Synecdoche, New York" anymore unappealing to mainstream audiences. Yes, we realize it's going to be a niche film, but isn't it a hard sell as it is? The marketing people are supposed to trick you into seeing it anyway possible, not driving you away from it. This is a real head-scratcher. Right now, it's for the constituency and nooooobody else. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

So you want Kaufman and the marketing people to sell out and compromise his artistic vision so that it'll appear middle-brow and mediocre?
And you're hating on the Sex & City girls for being whores.
Yes, you totally read that right. You've got it, son!
The first part is still true.
I just want the film to have a shot outside of six people. Lord knows it's already going to be more esoteric than all the past Kaufman scripts.
It's perhaps worth noting that the poster in question appears to have been created for Cannes, and Cannes alone, not for commercial purpose. When a distribution company purchases the theatrical rights, they will create their own marketing materials, which will undoubtably be much more more mainstream friendly (relatively speaking).
Really? You think?? What with that HUGE Cannes logo in the middle of it???
