Kinda cool...not spectacular but kinda cool...

Jarmusch filmed these dozen little vignettes, all of which are tied togeher with nothing more than the fact that it's reasonably well-known people drinking coffee (mostly) and smoking cigarettes - over a span of ten or so years. There's no plot whatsoever, none. There's nothing to tie the scenes together. A few of the scenes are a little flat, but for the most part they're rockingly entertaining. Jack and Meg White are a blast as are Bill Murray, RZA and GZA...Iggy Pop and Tom Waits. The sequencing's a little odd as the opener's slow and the closer's a bit of an anticlimax, but the stuff in the middle's well worth it. Plus you could watch the film in bits and pieces...take it a bit at a time...take it in one large bunch...drink it deeply and down whatever way you want...'cause it's sweet...
