Zomg!
Now for my actual comment by Mr. Evolved	May 8th, 2009 06:59:38 AM
Next Day Air sounds pretty interesting from this review. Any review of anything that makes comparisons to Guy Ritchie and Quentin Terrentino is a review that makes me want to go to the thing that is being reviewed. Don't hate me because I'm eloquent.

A Shame Regarding This Interview by PhilosophyFan	May 8th, 2009 08:45:24 AM
I for one am believing that this Interview of a movie by the great, brilliant, exceedingly hilarious, and quite intelligent not to mention Jim Jarmusch is an atrocity. The man is essentially a modern-day philosophyer ala Jean-Paul Sartre or Albert Camus. If one does not understand a given movie at hand, especially when created by such a wonderful director, it's likely because you didn't understand it. Bashing a Jarmusch film would be the same as taking a bite of nice sushi grade tuna and then spitting it out because it tasted bad. Sure, the flavor is most certainly complex, but it's an acquired taste. No matter what Jarmusch does, I will like, i don't know about the members of this board though.

ACIN: Just in case you weren't gonna see Star Trek by supermarch	May 8th, 2009 10:10:45 AM
Everything else sucks that's coming out.
remarkable BROKEN FLOWERS? by Series7	May 8th, 2009 11:05:59 AM
What part of that movie? It was boring and pedantic.
LOL at a Jarmusch TB on AICN by FatherMcGruderKicksAssForTheLord	May 8th, 2009 11:35:35 AM
75% say "who?", 20% say "GAY!", 2% attempt to derail, 3% undecided. (+/- 1%) I'm mostly a fan, I think Dead Man is probably his best and most accessible film but I also enjoy the directionless style typified by Coffee and Cigarettes, however, Broken Flowers didn't do much for me and I confess ambivalence toward seeing The Limits... RE: Next Day Air, my first thought while watching a recent TV spot was 'DJ Pooh flick VS. Guy Ritchie British gangster flick', and honestly, it sounds like shit but I'm amazed nobody attempted it sooner.

Jarmusch is overrated by hegele	May 8th, 2009 11:50:08 AM
only every was interested in Down By Law, everything else is pretentious and dull. This sounds no different.
He did Paris Texas right? by Series7	May 8th, 2009 12:01:12 PM
Yeah the movie sucked as well.
No, Paris Texas was by Wim Wenders… by blakindigo	May 8th, 2009 12:18:27 PM
SIGH. Anyway, extremely disappointed in "Next Day Air." Unfortunately, with a script that was "inspired by" the current darlings of off–kilter heist pictures (Tarantino, Ritchie) and lacking any other frame of reference like Jean-Paul Melville, or Jules Dassin (RIP Maestro), it has nowhere else to go but straight into the derivative pile.

in the pretentious douche file
People who use the word "pretentious" by seppukudkurosawa	May 8th, 2009 12:52:43 PM
are the pretentious ones- imposing their own identity on everyone else. What's wrong with expecting filmmakers to look a little further afield than Guy Ritchie? And Melville and Dassin's movies weren't "pretentious," they were and are just plain cool. I'd hate to see what you'd have thought of A Killing of a Chinese Bookie! I like Jarmusch movies. Especially the '80s and early '90s ones. They always have a breezy air that just sucks me in. He's not lost that quality, but there was something more exciting about those earlier pics, like he was part of a movement. Now it seems as if your average independent movie is just as facetious as the flicks they're supposed to be an antidote for. The ones I've seen lately just have too bratty a tone to them for me to get into them.
And Ye Gods, people! by seppukudkurosawa	May 8th, 2009 12:57:04 PM
Paris, Texas was awesome! I'll agree that Wim Wenders is usually less hit than miss, but most of his movies from Wings of Desire and earlier are worth checking out. I especially dug all of his King of the Road movies, Alice in the Cities in particular. I can see how you'd confuse him with Jarmusch; their movies definitely have a similar vibe.
Limits of Control by Coma Baby	May 8th, 2009 12:59:48 PM
For me, Broken Flowers and Coffee and Cigarettes were so so to disappointing (at least of Jarmusch). But he gets a lifetime pass for Dead Man, Stranger than Paradise, and Down by Law, so I'm always up for checking out his new ones. Limits of Control is shot by Christopher Doyle, who did most of Wong Kar Wai's films, so even if it's it's not one of his better movies it's at least going to be interesting to look at.
_limits_ = masterpiece by duanejones	May 8th, 2009 02:20:52 PM
i won't try to convince the dipshits hatas here who think, by coming off hard in front of a bunch of fanboys, they are somehow worth paying attention to. those who have demonmstrated their intellectual inferiority by disparaging mr jarmusch on this post must now please walk to a mirror and recite the following: "i am one sad motherfucker with no taste nor aesthetic understanding of anything whatsoever and the day i have a single interesting, worthwhile thing to say about jim jarmusch, much less cinema in general, is the day it turns out i died and was born again as entirely different person, without a trace of the imbecility that contributed my undeniable status as an utter and complete dipshit with nothing of value to say, whatsoever." yes, you're allowed to mouth-breathe twelve times while reciting. meantime, coma, baby, you are ever so right that chris doyle did wonders here -- it's the most beautiful jarmusch yet, which is truly saying something. abstract, elliptical and out to frustrate every conventional impulse we expect from thrillers, people will sleep on _control_ for a decade, just like _dead man_ and then realize it is one of the great masterpieces of the decade. you read it here first (+ you're welcome)
The Soundtrack - Earth, Boris, Sunn 0))) by most excellent ninja	May 8th, 2009 02:49:58 PM
Amazing. But cunt stole my idea, I wanted Boris to score a film. Boris destroys all.
ya know by johnnyangel	May 8th, 2009 03:01:01 PM
there are so many directors making the same old formulaic movies over and over, why not celebrate someone like Jarmusch? You can always go back and see one of those comfortable cliche movies tomorrow. Yeah, they'll still be there.
Yeah, Boris are sludgy, Japanese goodness! by seppukudkurosawa	May 8th, 2009 03:33:37 PM
What with them on the soundtrack and duanejones, a talkbacker who knows his shit, giving this his seal of approval, I am THERE in two years time when it finally gets to my local house of art. Keep this feature a regular thing, Cap!
so Mos Def isnt in it? in the trailers he's the star by BMacSmith	May 8th, 2009 04:43:17 PM
stupid false advertising
Who.... by DrMorbius	May 8th, 2009 06:14:04 PM
...left the cap off the Massengale bottle? Because it leaked out and now call itself duanejones!
remarkable BROKEN FLOWERS by Broseph	May 8th, 2009 06:50:00 PM
Here's a remark it FUCKING SUCKED.one of the worst movies i've ever seen except sharon stone's naked daughter
thank god Next day air was reviewed here.. by AshesOfDonnie	May 8th, 2009 09:05:17 PM
I was gonna see it for the fact Mos def is in it. now Im disspaointed, not even worth the bootleg copy it seems!
Love the guy by Sandinista	May 8th, 2009 10:41:43 PM
Trailer Night STINKS, of course, and Broken Flowers is good, but not as great as ANY of his other movies. But a good Jarmusch movie is still better than most of the crap they put out. BTW, the "you speak Spanish?" thing is a subtle (ok, sometimes not as subtle) inside joke that has been going on since Permanent Vacation (ok, not so good either) and hasn't really gotten old.
BTW by Sandinista	May 8th, 2009 10:44:57 PM
Dassin and Cassavetes are just plain fucking cool. Melville I don't know, gonna look up. Thanks.
FatherMcGruderKicksAssForTheLord by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	May 8th, 2009 10:54:43 PM
FTW, lol, amirite, did you just learn to use the internet or what? I hope you were trying to hit every internet comment cliche in one post because you deserve a fucking medal for that one.
I don't know.... by The Amazing G	May 9th, 2009 01:36:09 AM
Limits Of Control does sound pretentious as hell, but out of the three Jarmusch movies I've seen (Mystery Train, Dead Man and Ghost Dog) I've loved all three, Jarmusch seems to have a talent at making a movie fascinating even if not a whole lot is happening, so I may check it out when it hits dvd
I don't know... by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS	May 9th, 2009 05:10:27 AM
..but I sure wanna kick wampa 1's ass.
favorite Jarmusch films by oisin5199	May 11th, 2009 03:05:40 PM
definitely Down by Law, Night on Earth, Mystery Train, Dead Man, Ghost Dog. Note: Jim Jarmusch films not for the faint of soul.
