I've just emerged from the semi-nourishing, semi-tortured Fellini-esque Chinese box mindfuck-dreamscape that is Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York...and the press conference is just starting. [Ten minutes later] Kaufman has just explained the title's pronunciation: Syn-ECK-duh-kee. At least that's settled.

'Tortured Fellini-esque Mindfuck Dreamscape'? The mind boggles.
Will we possibly be hearing this press conference?

Yeah, as noted in the "Syndoche" thread, that's how the word is pronounced ... in the dictionary. The title pun is part of the key of what the film is.

Kauffman had to explain how you pronounce the name of a poetic trope to a roomful of writers? Tells you something about the woeful state of film criticism.

Those writers obviously didn't go to Jesuit high school, where we got the concept and pronunciation of metonymy and synecdoche and all those other literary tropes with Greek names thoroughly hammered into our skulls.
Isn't Metonymy a suburb of Synecdoche, New York?
It's pronounced meh-TAHN-uh-me. Try saying "metonymy, synecdoche" together six times very fast. They really get to rolling off the tongue.

So Kaufman really is a one-tricky pony.

Asking Kaufman how to pronounce the name for his movie baffles me. Didn't you all learn what Synecdoche is in high-school? And metonymy? and metaphor? and simile? You journos have lost your heads (find the synecdoche in the previous sentence).

Frank Langella's performance as Richard Nixon is naturally and necessarily more toned down than it was on-stage, and that, Honest Injun, makes it a fascinating, moving (as in genuinely sad), award-level effort. biology degree AND chemistry degree
