I just saw Ghost Dog this week. It was pretty good.

The scene where all of the old Italian mobsters are sitting around the shop and the landlord comes and gives them grief for not paying the rent was pretty funny. I liked the way he went character for character in the room in the sequence, it is a funny lineup of old tough guys.

And all this time no one's said shit about Fishing with John!

"Why am I here?"

Jarmusch: "I don't think you should drive?"
Lurie: "Huh? You don't think I should drive? Why? What?"
Jarmusch: "I’ll drive."
Lurie: "You wanna drive?"
Jarmusch: "No."

i finally saw dead man. so grotesque but in a pretty/flimsy kind of way (not a bad thing), like each skull or crushed head was a trinket. felt v. filmic, aware, etc, but still pretty moving in parts w/ a lot of great writing going on. that ending is so dark. reminded me of dante and sergio leone. uh one part almost made me cry.

I really like Ghost Dog and Dead Man. One or two scenes in Night on Earth are ok, and I sort of like the one with Tom Waits, Lurie and Benigni (I forget the name). I think he's a filmmaker who takes some adjusting to.

I just saw "the dead dont die" and I cant work out if I hated it, or it was really clever and dryly witty. I mean I'll happily watch Adam Driver drly remark "this is gonna end badly" on a loop for 2 hours, and the reviews make me think I missed something, but... enh?

I know it wasn't loved by most, but some of my favorite people really liked this and I'm looking forward to it

It was very Cohen Bros dry. I should have paid it a bit more attention (I didnt see it in a cinema, but at home *coff*)
