It's a sad and beautiful world: the Jim Jarmusch poll.

Adam Driver also on tap in new Scorsese, Gilliam, Soderbergh films

dude is def having a moment

Paterson is a great location, I hope it was actually filmed there.

from the clips, looks like it is

New movie doc on Iggy and the Stooges, from him also

Read someone on Facebook who had been at Cannes, say the Iggy doc was decent but not great.

Can believe it

decent but not great

describes every Jim Jarmusch project since Ghost Dog

including Ghost Dog

but no, Limits of Control was submediocre

Limits of Control was def below par

i enjoyed the vampire one quite a bit

looks like Paterson could be a throwback to early minimalist/kitchen-sink JJ (only in color)

I'm amazed that I gave the vampire one (which I liked) a chance after Limits of Control.

vampire one was definitely the best of these later films, but it wasn't exactly great

I went in expecting not to like it and was pleasantly surprised.

I went in expecting Tilda Swinton to be Tilda Swinton and was pleasantly surprised.

vampire movie was really good imo

It is called Only Lovers Left Alive. Yeah, I'd like to see it again actually. Went in with very little expectations and a slight buzz and ended up really syncing with the mood and pace of the thing.

I also liked Limits of Control more than most, but I get the dislike.

including Ghost Dog

this! it was good, a few on-the-noise jack white references aside.

this, if you deem the later films to begin with coffee and cigarettes, as i do

seeing this tonight at NYFF after all

The trailer for Gimme Danger went up on youtube last week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Po8nz1eEsU

ban talking heads in music docs imo

Paterson among JJ's best imho!

whoa

keep in mind I only really like Down by Law and a couple others.

some nice NJ cultural shoutouts, not jus William Carlos Williams.

i'll probably dig it anyway but that's a solid recommendation imo

Variety's hook for a JJ interview is, of course, he's never seen some space epic

Fred Elmes in brilliant form with the images btw. Critical roundup:

Looking forward to this. I've enjoyed a lot of Jarmusch films, though Stranger Than Paradise has always been my pick. The way the above describes Paterson, it seems similar to how I'd describe STP.

For the French readers: there's a huge career spanning interview with some new Nan Goldin portrait shots in this month's Cahiers.

Also looking forward to seeing what he did with my hometown in "Paterson".

better use of falls / Lou Costello statue than The Sopranos

my fave Jarmusch are Down by Law + Dead Man but most of his stuff is at least enjoyable. Only a couple are outright bad. So I'm looking forward to this.

I'll pass on Paterson; I can't stand Adam Driver. His only redeeming quality is that he's not Michael Cera.

The Stooges documentary could be interesting - I mean, Fun House is probably the greatest rock album of all time - but I'm worried because both the Asheton brothers are dead, which leaves the story in Iggy's hands, and he was referring to the Stooges as "my band" as far back as the '70s.

Driver definitively illustrates that he is not the Girls schmuck in this.

I've never seen Girls.

what did you hate him in? that last Baumbach film was not good.

I'm sorry to have to let you know his highest-profile role is in Star Wars

well i was assuming perhaps naively that people would judge him on an acting appearance.

btw history sez they are Iggy's band, deal with it

Paterson is really wonderful.

Stooges doc was surprisingly shoddily made. Parts with Iggy talking were good but the whole design and editing of the movie was very much cheap VH1 rockumentary.

talking heads format in the trailer put me off

“For some time now, Jim Jarmusch has been operating as an autocritical dialectician in his fictional features,” writes Jonathan Rosenbaum for the new issue of Trafic. “Politically as well as commercially, The Limits of Control [2009] offers a sharp rebuke to his preceding film, Broken Flowers [2005],” and he elaborates. “But even more striking is the radical contrast between Jarmusch’s most elitist feature (and in many ways my least favorite), Only Lovers Left Alive [2013] . . . and Jarmusch’s most populist feature (and one of my favorites), Paterson [2016].”

from Film Comment:

Jim Jarmusch is filming The Dead Don’t Die, a “zombie comedy,” in upstate New York, with a cohort of actors both familiar in the director’s oeuvre (Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Adam Driver, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi) and new (Selena Gomez). Just don’t call it a zom-com, please.

Sounds great

I should get around to Patterson i suppose

Eh
