Look out! He's got a knife!

The test doesn't work: according to it, I'm cooler than you.

Coffee and Cigarettes? Man, I thought it was really average. But then I think we talked about Blue in the Face and you said you liked Jarmusch's scene in that...

I thought the last scene saved it. I have no idea who those two guys are, but that scene was great.

I dunno if "average" is a valid adjective for a movie that strange. "Yeah it's average, just another movie stringing together ten-plus years of related short films."

I loved several parts of it. Tom Waits & Iggy Pop (obviously), Bill Murray & RZA & GZA (also obviously I guess), Alfred Molina & Steve Coogan, and yeah those two old farts at the end. I also liked how some elements repeated, Cinque Lee turning up in the White Stripes segment or RZA & Stephen Wright saying the same thing about drinking coffee before going to bed or the Tesla quote etc.

I guess I also liked the fact that it was literally a "two people talking in a room" movie.

I also liked that it reminded me of "32 Short Films About Glen Gould" - though 32 Films was better.

And I was WAY more loser than you.

Andrew - point in its favour.

Cal - point in its debit.

What's the joke about "if there was a contest for the world's biggest loser, you'd come second"
"why second?"
"'cause you're a loser"

re: Coffee and Cigarettes.

Liked it a lot, as a film, as a work of art, and as a study of the human condition (wank wank).

I *loved* the passive/aggressive posturing of Waits and Pop. Such a well realised study of how people talk to each other.

And the power play of the conversation between Molina and Coogan. Again, such a brilliant look at how assumptions influence people's conversations.

Yeah, Jim Jarmusch. I just keep on liking his films. He rocks.

But how does one pronounce his surname?

"Jarmusch" is pronounced "Throatwobbler-Mangrove"
