Wait, Tilda Swinton plays Orlando? As in, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen character whose gender randomly flips and weilds Excalibur?

Actually, on the Adam/Eve/Lilith thing, a Jewish friend (who happens to be my DM) recently explained to me that Lilith was a *christian* invention. In Jewish theology, there is no individual named "Lilith." There's a race of sex demons named "lilitu"--here read demon in a more Mesopotamian sense, not the christian "metaphysical personification of evil" sense. So where did christian theologists get Lilith? From an old Hebrew *joke book.* It originates in a humorous reimagining of Genesis where Hashem makes Adam by himself. Lacking a mate and with much time on his hands, Adam goes about having sex with every single animal in Eden--all the while complaining to God each time that they're all terrible in bed. The punchline is God getting so frustrated, he ends up throwing one of the lilitu at Adam--only for her to be bad at sex, too.

“The Dead Don’t Die” is sort of a parody film based on the premise that zombie movies are bad so Jarmusch intentionally made a bad film. As a zombie fan I hated it. Especially after reading a Jarmusch interview where he goes “Hey did you ever realize that zombies equal CONSUMERISM?” like he’s the first person who thought of this.

The Adam & Eve comment jumped out at me as well but I was thinking would folks say something about the names of the characters used if they Navajo or Iroquois names, Hindu names? Which mythical belief would be appropriate? It was just a bit jarring. Still not sure if I want to see it or not...

I think they're worried that people have been drinking the water. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/31/americas-tap-water-samples-forever-chemicals

Orlando is one of my favourite movies, and the book by Virginia Woolf (hence the confusion) is pretty good too. And Woolf wrote a ghost story which is reminiscent of the melancholy of OLLA, https://www.charleston.org.uk/a-haunted-house-by-virginia-woolf/.

Ghost Dog is one of my favorite movies and I love this one as well—mostly because Tilda and Tom are fantastic in it. I also appreciate that at least one of these characters very much wants to live (instead of the old trope in which immortal beings are so bored and envy mortality). Oh and that great musical performance at the end.

The Killing of a Chinese Bookies is one of my favorite moveis. No I'm just kidding, but was kind of funny. The movie I mean. It goes on forever.

So Adam and Eve live in a paradise where all their needs are catered for, and then Ava, the Eve with knowledge, turns up and turfs them out of their east life and they must (re)enter the world.

I think of Jarmusch as one of the great bomb throwers. Wiring together bits of art house, B-grade genre, sophomoric philosophy, and kick ass music in a device meant to explode. Great actors are drawn to participate in his work (clearly not for money) because they get to stretch out their range; drill down on a moment; dive into the art of a thing -- all the while knowing they are in good hands. Jim will make sure they look good doing it. Jim will take the heat when the bomb, er, bombs. I'm so glad that we have people like Jarmusch out there holding up mirrors and pushing boundaries. Pointing out, I think, new directions for movie makers to explore - even if his own movies don't quite have the oomph to get us there. Also, I cannot recommend enough that you make the effort to watch Putney Swope. Some real bomb throwing went on there and it very much influenced great film makers who came after.

Greetings my Lovecraftian friends, thank you so much for letting me know about this film 🎥 It sounds like I’ll enjoy watching it. Since I’ve passed the half century mark in my life, it has become increasingly difficult to find film and television that speaks to my now antiquated sense of taste. It seems that most of today’s entertainment is geared towards your average 13 year old with a mayfly attention span measured in fractions of micro seconds. Please keep the weird movie recommendations coming, they’re a big help. Does this mean I’m getting old? Just a sec, there’s some kids cutting through my front yard... Hey you kids, get off my damn lawn!

I literally scream “Get Off My Lawn” five or six times a week.... and “I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you meddling kids” twice a week.

Ghost Dog is one of my favourite movies of all time. So is its soundtrack. I wasn’t a huge fan of OLLA when I saw it in theaters. I also felt like Jarmusch didn’t like Vampires when he made it and I was left kind of bored. Tilda looks wonderful of course though. Hate to tell you but Jarmusch is on record saying he doesn’t really like zombie films and tDDD reflects that note for note. Its all the worst things from OLLA without any of the redeeming qualities.

I got the soundtrack on vinyl the day after I saw this movie. Jim Jarmusch is an ace musician and his records are well worth an explore

The Dead Don't Die opened my eyes to the fact that Jarmusch is capable of making a bad movie. Like, I was shocked by the wasted talent. The highlight was a reference to the shot-on-video cult film 200 Motels: calling Centerville "a great place to raise your kids!"

So I work for a backline company in Pittsburgh, we rent out band equipment for bands who don’t travel with their own gear. Anyway, a few years ago we rented out a drum kit and guitar amps out for an event put on by the Warhol Museum. Halfway through the day, I was called to bring a replacement amp because the one they had wasn’t working properly. I get to the venue and we quickly switch out the amps, but as we fired everything up, there was this weird noise coming from the amp. The guitarist was running about 25 different effects pedals, doing all sorts of weird looping and feedback effects. It was so elaborate he didn’t even know exactly how he had it all wired up, which made troubleshooting nearly impossible. He insisted that it was the amp and not one of his 50 odd cables or pedals, and it took me and the drummer about a half-hour to convince him that the issue was in his gear and not ours. Even then I think he only conceded to shut us up. It was eventually worked out and the band was able to put on a solid show. After the show, he came up to me and thanked me for helping and sort of half admitted it was his gear and not ours. That band was Sqürl, and that pain-in-the-ass guitarist was Jim Jarmusch. The actual show was pretty cool. They were playing old silent B&W films and creating these weird trippy soundscapes along with the visuals. I really enjoyed it.

INT. THE SLAUGHTERED LAMB, NIGHTTIME Local, rural types sit around conversing as they drink their beers and ciders. Suddenly, the door bursts open and DAVID, a young American tourist, staggers in, clutching his side and bleeding profusely from multiple wounds. DAVID: Help! Help... me!!! LOCAL MAN 1: Ye damn fool ‘murican! Didn’t we tell ye not to go out on’t moors after dark?!? LOCAL MAN 2: What happened? DAVID: I’m not sure... It all happened so fast... I remember... moonlight... shining off a bald head... bright, white, perfect teeth... I think... I think we were attacked by some kind of... wild actor! The room falls instantly silent. LOCAL MAN 1: Son, that weren’t no ordinary wild actor. That... that was... Billy Zane!!! The room flashes white as there is a crack of lightning and a clap of thunder outside. DAVID: What?!? That’s... that’s crazy!!! Everyone knows Billy Zane is just a legend! LOCAL MAN 1 : I’m afraid Billy Zane is all too real. Terribly real. LOCAL MAN 2: Now you’ll be struck with his awful curse! Every full moon you will transform into Billy Zane, and face the irresistable urge to film low-budget movies doomed to be shown only on the SyFy channel at the witching hour!!! DAVID: NOOOOOOO!!! Is there no escape from this terrible fate?!? LOCAL MAN 1: The old tales speak of but one way. Ye must hunt down and kill the Billy Zane that bit ye! LOCAL MAN 2: But beware! Billy Zane is immune to ordinary, mortal weapons! To slay him, you must beat him into submission with a silver-plated ham, then stuff his mouth with Wolfzane!

Going to say something very unlikely to resonate. I feel the same way about Yoko Ono's music. "When you make a thing, a thing that is new, it is so complicated making it that it is bound to be ugly. But those that make it after you, they don't have to worry about making it. And they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when others make it after you." ~Picasso

What a great movie!

This film sounds so cool! I’ll have to check it out. Just yesterday I returned from a 30-hour straight drive cross country, (after a 24-hour straight drive up), and decided to listen from episode 1 of the podcast as far as I could get for those 55 some-odd hours. It was delightful to go back and travel through time with you guys as it were. I must say your editing has improved dramatically, but as early as episode ten, you had your formula roughed out that you would continue on with. It was delightful, though I dream in Chad’s voice now, and I’m not sure how healthy that is...

Just watched OLLA... and LOVED IT! Like Chad, I'd passed on this flick the first time around because of friends who'd seen and gushed about it. Thank God you guys came through with your recommendation. It was the same for WWDITS.
