Thread: Coffee and Cigarettes

This is the new flic from Jim Jarmusch and I have to give it two thumbs up. The vignette with RZA, GZA, and Bill Murray is classic! I really liked the one with Iggy Pop and Tom Waits too: awkward silence at its finest. Great stuff.

Yep, great as always, Jarmush has such a nice adress book

I liked the Lee twins, The white stripes bizarre bout and Cate Blanchett performance.

"You're BILL GroundHog Day, Ghostbustin'ass MURRAY!!!"

Cool. I'll have to check this out.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and, from the little I've seen, it's a shame Tom Waits doesn't do more acting),

Check out "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" if you haven't seen it. Good movie. It's based on a book by Peter Matthiessen.

also by Jim Jarmush and worth checking out : Down by law, with Tom Waits and Roberto Benigni. The music is by The Tom.

Dead Man was a good flick.

Yeah, saw that. Great flick if you don't mind a few slow moments (which I don't). Also saw Stranger than Paradise (a little tooo slow), Dead Man (can't remember if Waits had a small role in this), and Ghost Dog (another fine flick) at a mini-Jarmusch festival a few years back. Year of the Horse is also worth checking out (if you like Neil Young).

Sick and ashamed and happy (and first came across Jarmusch in Smoke (actually I think it was the "sequel", Blue in the Face) - his scene about cigarette holding postures was hilarious),

night on earth and ghost dog are my favorites.

I forgot about Ghost Dog (that it was Jarmusch's that is), phenomenal movie. Good soundtrack too. RZA is alright in my book.

I knew I was forgetting one (actually, I was forgetting two, but Mystery Train may as well stay forgotten). Night on Earth was a hit/miss thing for me. A couple of the stories were genius, others not so much. Roberto was awesome and the Scandanavian installment was drunkenly poignant. Good stuff.

Finally got around to seeing this. If nothing else, it kept me interested. The pauses, the seeming meaninglessness of the encounters, the total randomness, had me feeling like a bit of a voyeur. Not really sure what to make of it all, but, like I said, it kept me interested so it can't have been bad.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and the Wright/Benigni scene set the stage nicely),
