Go forth and conquer the video stores, Netflix queues, and Redboxes near you!
Criterion edition of MYSTERY TRAIN! And I liked YOUTH IN REVOLT, though I know many people didn’t. It was fun to see Michael Cera finally play something other than a sweet guy.
You know, I still haven’t seen “Mystery Train” and why do these fabulous Criterion Editions have to cost so much? Gah! I’m surprised you were able to see “Youth in Revolt”, was it playin’ in your area? And look at that, “My Three Sons” and “Showgirls” in the same post! Yikes!
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen MYSTERY TRAIN so I’m looking forward to seeing it again. I watched it in the middle of a self-imposed Jarmusch-ithon, trying to know and understand his oeuvre, after seeing DEAD MAN. It’s got that typical sweet, wide-eyed Jarmuschian cultures colliding, everyone’s a tourist, thing going on. It seemed to me to belong more to those pre-DEAD MAN films. I liked it, though at the time I wouldn’t have put it among my very favorites of his films – I think I kinda pitted NIGHT ON EARTH and MYSTERY TRAIN (both color films) against STRANGER THAN PARADISE and DOWN BY LAW (both b & w films), and I preferred the earlier two. They’re all good, though. I should watch them all again.
