This Week’s Main Feature – “Synecdoche, New York”

Movie Poster - Synecdoche, New York
Playing Jan. 27-Feb. 7

SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK [R] (2008 * USA * 124 minutes)
TUES., JAN. 27 @ 7:15PM; FRI., JAN. 30 @ 5:00PM & 7:15PM; SAT., JAN. 31 @ 7:15PM; SUN., FEB. 1 @ 1:30PM; WED., FEB. 4 @ 7:15PM; FRI., FEB. 6 @ 5:00PM; SAT., FEB. 7 @ 2:45PM
For theater director Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman), life catering to suburban blue-hairs at the local regional theater in Schenectady, New York is looking bleak. His wife (Catherine Keener) has left him to pursue her painting in Berlin. His therapist (Hope Davis) is better at plugging her best-seller than she is at counseling him. A new relationship with the alluringly candid Hazel (Samantha Morton) has prematurely run aground. And a mysterious condition is systematically shutting down each of his autonomic functions, one by one. Worried about the transience of his life, he leaves his home behind. He gathers an ensemble cast into a warehouse in New York City, hoping to create a work of brutal honesty. Co-starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michelle Williams, Tom Noonan, Emily Watson and Dianne Wiest. Written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, screenwriter of “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind” and “Being John Malkovich.”

“To say that Charlie Kaufman’s ‘Synecdoche, New York’ is one of the best films of the year or even one closest to my heart is such a pathetic response to its soaring ambition that I might as well pack it in right now.” -Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

Pete Mondello Displays Repaired Lobster Buoy

Here’s Pete Mondello with some repaired buoys.  The thing about the Mondello boys is that they never ever stop.  They always are doing something weather it be tinkering on the boat or repairing traps or buoys.  They never stop.  Talk about energy.  It’s just go-go-go.

Huge sections of the house were strewn all about.  What a huge blast to create so much damage.  Thanks to Mike Lindberg for the photos.

Gloucester House Explosion

Would you just look at the vinyl siding peeled away from the next door neighbor’s house?  I’m guessing we’re lucky more people weren’t injured.
