I wonder if Charlie Kaufman actually wants people to see his new movie. I suspect a fair number of people will avoid it just because of its title:
Synecdoche, New York
First, the title is a bit of a pun/play of words off of Schenectady, New York. Second synecdoche is a word that 99% won't know the meaning of (I knew, but wasn't confident enough that I was right so looked it up anyway). And of the 1% of people who know what it means, half of them probably won't know how to pronounce it.
