Okay, I wish I'd thought of Lily Tomlin. My God, why isn't she in this? She'd work as Nancy.

Bette can be so over the top, but I think she'll be funny as hell as the Countess.

I'd better bone up on the play now, GC! ;-)

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.
