Infinite Weak.



Forget about Kerry being Your God, it's all about Jim. Go out and see a few of his guilty pleasures, it will make your day!

Me, I've been playing too much world war II computer games lately (Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory: Yessir Fire in The Hole!) and Angelina Jolie was looking hot in Tomb Raider 2!

Jarmusch's Guilty Pleasures

Wim Wenders prefaced his ”Guilty Pleasures” by saying, ”I don’t feel guilty about any of this.” I’d like to echo that. One thing I object to is cultural hierarchy. To me, there’s no difference in value between Beethoven and the Butthole Surfers, Between Shakespeare and Mickey Spillane. If something’s good, it’s good, whether it’s a comic book or a ”great” novel.

Sam Raimi‘s Evil Dead films: I didn’t really like Darkman, I was totally lost, but the Evil Dead movies are brilliant. It’s like bad acid or something - your girlfriend turns into a monster so you chop her up with an ax and then you realize it’s still your girlfriend! That kind of hysteria is really amazing, and rare. And such ingenious camera tricks without much technology. Those films are real classics.

I’m not a Brian DePalma fan but I think Scarface is a brilliant American film. It’s DePalma’s masterpiece, just because of the vulgarity and violence of it. Tony Montana is the most vulgar portrayal of the American dream. For that reason I like that film a lot. I see it at least once a year - ”I got to go get Scarface.”

Spinal Tap: I see that movie at least once a year also, I don’t know why - I know all the jokes and I still find them funny. Musicians say, ”That’s not funny” - but they watch it all the time!

Traci Lords I kind of find intriguing - not as an actress but as a presence: the combination of nasty and innocent. I actually have one of her porno films on video, called New Wave Hookers. You can’t find them anymore. A friend of mine, an English rock musician I won’t name, has a whole collection of Traci Lords porno videos.
