      <![CDATA[Eh man's quixotic quest to beat death with art is doomed to failure because we're bound to fall short and end up mistaking art with narcissism... One man's fallacy of imitative form is another man's meta-text evidently.

      <![CDATA["A movie about man's quixotic quest to beat death with art" should at least be artful, no? (Especially when it's really more about man's quixotic quest to beat life with narcissism.)<br>

Wait, is this an internet FLAME WAR AMONG COLLEAGUES?

      <![CDATA[As I told our correspondent, one man's "bloated and exhausting" is another man's "bloated and exhausting and soul-enlarging because bloated and exhausting". I mean, what, a movie about man's quixotic quest to beat death with art is gonna be lighthearted and nimble and without moments of embarrassing overreach?<br>
<br>
It probably could have used a scene where Samantha Morton and her doppelganger Emily Watson go skateboarding together, though.

      <![CDATA["Kaufman is generally credited as the real mad scientist behind Jonze's first two films, but as last year's bloated and exhausting Synecdoche, New York suggested, Jonze's ability to keep the lid tight on Kaufman's lightning in a bottle has been underestimated."<br>
<br>
yes, this, very much so. who would've thought "lightning in a bottle" could be so visually dull.
