My friend and I are the biggest Bill Murray fans you'll ever meet. We've seen everything Bill Murray has been in, directed, or even laughed at. He's absolutely one of my favorite actors. So I got this friend to watch the movie Coffee and Cigarettes with me one day. I love Jim Jarmusch something fierce, and this is a fantastic series of vignettes with a whole bunch of really respectable actors all focused around coffee and cigarettes. (Fair warning: if you aren't into arthouse films, and you value plot, Jarmusch probably isn't your cup of tea, but I suggest everyone watch at least a sampling of his work, and Dead Man is probably a great place to start, because everyone loves it, and if nothing else, the soundtrack is the greatest soundtrack ever. Period.) Anyone, one of the scenes involves Bill Murray and Rza and Gza from Wu Tang Clan. It's a great scene, and this friend is the biggest Wu Tang fan I've ever met. Anyway, long story short, a year or two later, this happened.
Oh hey fellow Jarmusch fan, have you seen "Only Lovers Left Alive" yet? It is really really worth the watch. I promise. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1714915/ For those who are Rock and Roll fans and want a Jarmusch movie to watch (although sadly not streaming) I would highly suggest "Mystery Train" which is a 1989 film starring Steve Buscemi and Joe Strummer. There are other great rock n roll cameos and call backs throughout the film, and it's a great Saturday evening watch!
SO GLAD TO FIND OTHER FANS! Unfortunately, no, I haven't seen it yet. Which also makes it have the distinction of being the only film of his I haven't seen. I have a code for directors I really respect, and that's that I either see the film in theaters, or I wait for the DVD before I download it. Of course, I buy it in the end too when I'm able. Actually, that time should be coming up soon, so I should look into it.
A depressed musician reunites with his lover, though their romance - which has already endured several centuries - is disrupted by the arrival of uncontrollable younger sister.
The imdb listing said it was drama, horror, and romance. I don't recall there being any horror. Keep ears open for this one - the cynical one-liners about history and culture are hilarious.
Check this out. If you are truly a Murray fan, then you have of course spent countless hours watching Meatballs and singing, "are you ready for the summer, are you ready for the good times..."
