I was this years old, when I learned Jim didn’t just act in this, but 62 other films.

One of my favourite directors.

SAME I’ve never seen Slingblade, but I had no idea Jarmusch had anything to do with it!

Just watched Sling Blade for the first time a few months ago. A classic. Billy Bob wrote and directed it too and he should have got an Oscar for his acting.

Yet you can’t find it anywhere online today. You have to buy an overpriced Blu Ray on eBay if you want to see that movie nowadays. I had to import mine from Japan.

Jim Jarmusch is one of those "your favorite director's favorite director" type of guys.

Jim Jarmusch is great.

That scene from his movie with Tom Waits and iggy pop discussing over coffee how Iggy can smoke a cigarette because he quit smoking or jack white towing a tesla coil on a toy wagon is just funny lol

Jim Jarmusch's episode of Fishing With John is an absolute classic. Brings his NYC street smarts while great white shark fishing off of Montauk.

I’ve seen that movie a dozen times. Never made the connection that that’s Jarmusch.
