The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
It's a puzzling little film, in some ways it felt underwhelming and in others it was perfect--I found myself really charmed by the slow, almost wistful boredom that stalks many of the scenes. I'll have to sit on it to see how it ranks for me.
ive seen all of his movies. i think Limits of Control the best. maybe Paterson. love pretty much everything but Only Lovers and The Dead.
trag — Limits of Control is an excellent and logical companion to The Five Obstructions

Give Only Lovers another chance, I think it's one of the best movies of the 2000s. The Dead Don't Die is lighter fare to a certain extent but it is also in a way Jarmusch saying "fuck you!" to anyone attempting to use genre tropes to understand climate change (as he sort of did in Only Lovers!). So I think those two movies together are really interesting. I'm in the minority of people who didn't love Paterson.

Probably because I fucking hate poets and poetry.

Seems like that would work in your favor.
I really liked the scene about "Bob Frost" in Down By Law.

man, the premise of your reading of DEAD is in the dead-center of my aesthetic bailiwick

how fucking relieved are you that the terminus of your training wasn’t poetry mfa? theory/criticism saves lives (our, at a minimum prevents one from becoming yet another bloodless, bourgeois writer)

i’m a partisan of the michaels/brown/nonsite argument about the limits of political “art” because of its subsumption by the market, in which political entertainments are reduced to part of an array of commodities that satisfy a boundless & interminable process of market segmentation

this doesn’t invalidate a need for propaganda or political culture. it simply says these things don’t in themselves satisfy the criteria of an artwork.

the part with the words
I'm sure you're right about whatever you're saying, I just don't have the will to read it slowly three times and figure out if that's the case
