Went to see Jim Jarmusch's new/old Coffee and Cigarettes last night with Peter Gizzi, Aaron Kunin and Dan Fisher but we were out of luck.
40 minutes in to the feature, a series of vignettes filmed over what must be 20 some odd years, the projector went on the fritz. The theater offered consolation tickets as they should. Then YaY! the film came back! For 15 or 20 minutes and then got a little shakey and SIZZLE! It burned up right there, metling film projected on the big screen. Bummer we missed the vignettes featuring Bill Murray, RZA & GZA, Jack and Meg White, ALbert Molina and all the other great actors featured. It was by no means GOOD Jarmusch. It was OK in a film student way. The Iggy Pop/Tom Waits vignette was funnily rife with tension, Iggy seeming somewhat starstruck at having coffee w/ Waits.
