Stranger

From the Jim Jarmusch article in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine:

  • “I’m happiest when I’m shooting the movie. Filming is like sex. Writing the script is like seduction, then shooting is like sex because you’re doing the movie with other people. Editing is like being pregnant, and then you give birth and they take your baby away. After this process is done, I will watch the movie one more time with a paying audience that doesn’t know I’m there, and then I will never see it again. I’m so sick of it.”

And Tom Waits on Jarmusch:

  • ”The key, I think, to Jim, is that he went gray when he was 15. As a result, he always felt like an immigrant in the teenage world. He’s been an immigrant — a benign, fascinated foreigner — ever since. And all his films are about that.”

You have to be kidding right? Do you atleast know who Jim Jarmusch is?

I can’t believe you don’t.. wow.. you don’t know who Tom Waits is? Wow. Just. Pause. Wow.

I read that on Sunday. Found it quite fascinating. Tom Waits….

“When he performs, it sounds as if the world has stopped at 2 AM.” - Dinah Shore

Tom Waits for no one …

and Jim Jarmusch is such a pretentious played-out boring twat … yeah, he ocCASsionally makes an O.K. movie, but WHO CARES?!?!? … give me Tarantino, P.T Anderson, the dude who did “Kung Fu Hustle”, or even goddamn Sofia Coppolla ANY day …

have you ever listened to Jarmusch speak? it’s the audio equivalent of a damp diaper …

federline, FYI Jim Jarmusch, Tom Waits and Lou Reed are all the same person.

Just want to give props for the porno for pyros song. Loooooooove them!

That Guy  

I’m happiest when I’m posting a comment to goldenfiddle. Comments are like sex. Writing the comment is like seduction, then hitting the “Say It” button is like sex because you’re doing the commentary with other people… After this process is done, I will read the original post one more time and then I will never see it again because it’ll go to the archives. I’m so sick of it.

jamusch is such a loser. I mean look at all his lame friends—Tom Waits, Bill Murray, Iggy Pop, John Lurie. What boring twats.

I can’t remember which album but after that album I didn’t get excited over Waits, I think it was because he sounded fake drunk or something, will think about it some more, absolutely love JJ’s cum shots, they’re great!!

I have a 3rd generation video copy (burned to vcd) of a young patrick swayze doing a love scene with eszter balint (actress from jarmusch’s “stranger than paradise,” 1984). full frontal on both, taken from the cutting room floor of a never finished jarmusch project (filmed by jarmusch, with dicillio as his d.p.) -to purchase copy, email: slipknotdiarrhea666@yahoo.com

just because iggy pop, bill murray, and tom waits are awesome doesn’t mean jim jaRmusch is. judge the artist by the art, not his friends …

lolapants  

Wait, so Tarantino is not a “pretentious played-out boring twat”?!? What bizarro world are we living in?

cabbage head  

this place smells like lou reed

iggy pop, boring twat. i love it!!!

shlaumadchen  

oh, that guy. make sweet love to me…that is, if you aren’t spent by making sweet sweet love to the comment board.

uncle friendly-hands  

Another prop for Porno for Pyros!

Jarmusch’s movies are sh*t. And a little Tom Waits goes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way.

anniehall  

just saw “broken flowers” and it made me love jim again. i can forgive him now for coffee and cigarettes. the only good scene in that film is the iggy/tom one.
