From Melissa Starker's profile of the Kauf:
As writer-director Charlie Kaufman moved to sit down next to me, I noticed he was carrying a brass ball. He'd nicked it off the top of a nearby stanchion in a hotel lounge where, at the halfway point in the Toronto International Film Festival, we'd found a small space of relative quiet near a hectic press wrangling area.
"I carry it with me now," Kaufman deadpanned. "It's a conversation piece in case we run out of things to talk about." (Source)
Ahaha.
So many jokes I could make.
And the second half of Film Brain's Synecdoche review is now online.
