NY Observer gets all harsh on Synecdoche

Rex Reed, why you be hatin' on Synecdoche?

There's always a dumpster full of crap just waiting to lower the I.Q.'s of rational men, but the pain usually wears off fast, and the brain damage is rarely permanent. (Does anybody even remember Borat, Apocalypto or anything with Adam Sandler?) Then, just when you think it's safe to go back to the movies, the plunger sucks up something from a clogged drain like the unspeakable, unpronounceable Synecdoche, New York, and you're forced to take back every prematurely made prophecy about “the worst movie ever made.” Because no matter how bad you think the worst movie ever made ever was, you have not seen Synecdoche, New York. It sinks to the ultimate bottom of the landfill, and the smell threatens to linger from here to infinity. (Source)

Like wow. You should read the whole thing, no matter what your take is on Charlie - it's hilarious. He showed just as much love last year, too.

Thanks to Sadie for that.
