The Limits of Control trailer, you guys.
Huh. It looks like the scientists finally figured out how to combine Ghost Dog, El Mariachi, and Coffee and Cigarettes into one movie. The problem was that the Jarmusch DNA would reject the Rodriquez transplant DNA as an invasive parasite. The trick was to wait until both filmmakers had become kind of irrelevant.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope this is good. Jarmusch could use a win. Lord knows he hasn’t had one in at least 10 years, if you count Ghost Dog as good, which it wasn’t. (And sorry Broken Flowers apologists, but not all early-’00s-era serious-Bill Murray-revival movies are created equal.) Really you have to go back to Dead Man to find something worthwhile. It just goes to show that iconic hair and amazing RZA soundtracks can only take you so far. Then again, even if this movie isn’t so great, we can all put on our 10,000 Maniacs t-shirts and our jelly bracelets and have a good time. Come on, you guys, it’s the ’90s!

Thank you for validating my loathing for Broken Flowers. That was a piece of doggy-do.
I agree with you too. I just didn’t understand why there was a movie about a goose chase and nothing came from it.
The whole thing was about not finding anything you want in life! Nobody found love, passion, their son (sorry Angelina Jolie.) But they’re all doomed to keep seeing it everywhere anyway. It wasn’t an amazing movie or anything, but the end was like the best part.
That trailer made no sense, but I still want to watch it because its like artistic or whatever. I mean, its a guy in a suit, walking around.. I guess. Awesome.
“Ghost Dog” is bad? That’s not a claim you should make without explanation.
it was bad. if only because it should have shown more of him as an anime obsessed teenager who got beat up by the neighborhood kids. that could have been the whole movie.
I bet that trailer has about twice as many edits as the actual film. That man likes the long take.
oh, hi lisa loeb.
Bill Murray is in it, therefore I will see it. Even if Broken Flowers did suck. (I hate you, Chloe Sevignygnygngny!)
I will watch literally anything with Bill Murray in it.
P.S. If Gabe said Broken Flowers was The Best, probably very few of you would be saying otherwise. I liked it a lot.
Man i don’t know. I have seen a lot of people get pretty upset with gabe about beards.
Yeah, because I’m really afraid of disagreeing with Gabe.
You didn’t like Coffee & Cigarettes? Really? Like hated it didn’t like or just like meh didn’t like?
Stereogum seems way more even handed than this site. That is to say, the people that write (friends with the guys at Stereogum) have really horrible taste. Not only is it “horrible” in the sense that a 12 year old blogger who gains empowerment through said blogging is “horrible” but it’s emphatically horrible. Like “LOOK AT ME! I HAVE EXCEPTIONALLY BAD TASTE AND LOVE TO LAUD OVER THE MASSES WITH MY BAD TASTE! AND BRACES! AND A CURFEW! ETC! OHMIGOD! JESUS CHRIST!” Something like that. Anyways, seriously, to emphatically dislike so many good things so often makes this particular blogger “Gabe” as he is dubbed, rather ironically paired with a site that should have good taste in film and video. Instead of explicitly bad taste conveyed in such trite, condescending language. The language, I might add, of a 12 year old girl empowered by a mild addiction to the internet.
Peyton… when you see a party are you overcome with just the strongest urge to run in there, pull down your pants, and just unload a giant piece of fecal matter?
Because when you do something like that, nobody says “Whoa. This guy’s edgy.” or “This guy’s really brought some new perspective to the party”
What they say is “What the hell. Who is this guy? Eric! This guy just came in here for like NO REASON and took a crap on your floor! What the hell man”
Elliot, you win at life for this comment.
I’m confused, are you talking about Gabe or Sexman?
Heh: Nice post, Gabe (IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME)
Yeah, “gabe” if that even is your real name.
A word about Broken Flowers. The last scene redeems it.
damn it. someone already made the joke i just made. i am such a loser.
