my impression of the film is that jarmusch wasn't really trying very hard. perhaps i'll be proven wrong and this film will one day be shown to have an understated genius about it, but i doubt it. the film is merely a collection of shorts that jarmusch has been putting together since 1986. the first one was the first one shot and the later ones seem to be filmed more recently (judging by the age of bill murray, and inclusion of alfred molina or meg/jack white, for example), but i can't verify that it was presented in the chronological filming order. at any rate, the film revolves around various people discussing various things over coffee (or tea) and cigarettes. more than anything the film made me want to go to a diner and have a coffee with some apple pie a la mode. unlike 'stranger than paradise' or 'down by law' this film had very little lasting effect on me. i had fun while i was watching it - jarmusch always has a quiet humor to his films, producing more chuckles than outright laughs - but it didn't leave me thinking like some of his others have. i like the molina/coogan and rza/gza/murray shorts the most. i don't mean to give the impression that the film is bad or that i don't like jarmusch because both are incorrect, it's just that jarmusch has done better and the film was mostly good fluff. B-.

The earth is created in Genesis a million:a million. The earth already existed formerly the 6 days. The 6 days do not say the earth became created then. interior the commencing up, the earth became lined by ability of water; yet on the 0.33 day, dry land looks on earth. on the 4th day, the solar & Moon are created for 24 hour days. the days might desire to not be 24 hour days because of the fact the solar & Moon are actually not created till the 4th day. however the universe and earth are created interior the commencing up formerly the 6 days began. The 6 days might seem metaphoric language meaning God's days to set an occasion for us to artwork 6 days and then relax on the seventh. If the earth became already in life formerly the 6 days began, the days might have not something to do with the age of the earth.

I was a Jim Jarmusch fan - until I saw this movie. The most boring movie I didn't fast-forward through.

I liked it, but it was still me least favorite Jim Jarmusch film. If you like him as a director or if you like some of the actors it may be worth while for you.

It had the potential to be good, but after about 30 minutes, I just skipped to the chapters that had people I liked in them. Even those weren't that good.
