Yes. I was a little confused when that played--didn't know the song, and felt a disconnect between the 45 spinning and what seemed like something weird and relatively recent. Never would have guessed in a million years it was Wanda Jackson.
I'd have to see the movie again to be sure but I think it's a cover of Funnel of Love by Jarmusch's band Squrl that plays in that scene
it's more slowed down and tripped out than the Wanda Jackson version

Not to reiterate what everyone knows by now, but Only Lovers Left Alive was really good! For a vampire movie directed by Jim Jarmusch and starring Tilda Swinton this was a lot more...playful, I guess, than I ever would have expected, to the point that the occasional dour spots were my biggest problem with the film. This is the first Swinton performance I've genuinely liked, too--her androgynous ice-queen act does nothing for me, and I wasn't even that much of a fan of the well-regarded I Am Love. Funny that it took a vampire for her to get a role with an actual pulse. Would have liked a bit more of John Hurt's Marlowe, though.

saw OLLA last night - pretty good, a bit lifeless (*rimshot*) and I didn't laugh much, apart from the final shot. Several really beautiful sequences, especially the opening and the cruising around Detroit stuff, but the general approach (vampires as junkies!) and lack of any real conflict until the final third made it feel listless.

yes, Paterson references William Carlos Williams

New movie doc on Iggy and the Stooges, from him also

Read someone on Facebook who had been at Cannes, say the Iggy doc was decent but not great.

looks like Paterson could be a throwback to early minimalist/kitchen-sink JJ (only in color)
― we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 19:42 (seven years ago) link
I'm amazed that I gave the vampire one (which I liked) a chance after Limits of Control.

It is called Only Lovers Left Alive. Yeah, I'd like to see it again actually. Went in with very little expectations and a slight buzz and ended up really syncing with the mood and pace of the thing.
I also liked Limits of Control more than most, but I get the dislike.

Looking forward to this. I've enjoyed a lot of Jarmusch films, though Stranger Than Paradise has always been my pick. The way the above describes Paterson, it seems similar to how I'd describe STP.

my fave Jarmusch are Down by Law + Dead Man but most of his stuff is at least enjoyable. Only a couple are outright bad. So I'm looking forward to this.

I'll pass on Paterson; I can't stand Adam Driver. His only redeeming quality is that he's not Michael Cera.
The Stooges documentary could be interesting - I mean, Fun House is probably the greatest rock album of all time - but I'm worried because both the Asheton brothers are dead, which leaves the story in Iggy's hands, and he was referring to the Stooges as "my band" as far back as the '70s.

Driver definitively illustrates that he is not the Girls schmuck in this.

Stooges doc was surprisingly shoddily made. Parts with Iggy talking were good but the whole design and editing of the movie was very much cheap VH1 rockumentary.
