I’ve seen it. It’s wonderful and, yes, is definitely comparable. Though I think Perfect Blue’s ubiquitous match-cutting (and the fact that it’s in animation) really lends itself to that blurring.

But I do love synecdoche. PSH is incredible, and the soundtrack is great too. There’s some ridiculous play with the cuts in that film early on; something like six months passes in the first few shots, yet it can go totally unnoticed by the viewer

I'm in Canada. I spend about 50 dollars a week on groceries. I mostly eat entirely vegetables and fruits. Once in awhile I'll buy coffee and cooking oil. Almost entirely vegan.

When work takes me out for dinners, or I'm social for meals, I'll order meat. Vegan at home. Unbelievably affordable and it's pretty healthy. I've been dropping weight like a mad man and feel better than I've felt in years.
