Broken Flowers

What is it about Jim Jarmush over the last 20 years that I just don't fucking get. I find his movies incredibly dull and slow, Broken Flowers is no exception. It's listed as a comedy, yet I didn't laugh once. Total waste of talent in the movie. Bill Murray is better than this material, and he's done Garfield's voice for christ's sake, and the rest of the cast is chock full of mature, solid actresses all just mumbling their way through trite dialogue. What really kills me is that Speilberg cranks out War of the Worlds and Munich in 2005 while Jarmush toils for 5 years betweeen snoozers like Dead Man and Ghost Dog The Way of the Samuri. Not all indie filmmakers are genuises, believe that!

One and only highlight for me was seeing full frontal from that little chick on Invasion. The one who looks kind of like Faruza Balk meets Fiona Apple. It's a shocking scene, and rather tittilating as well. But 14 seconds of a bush shot isn't worth 1 hour and 47 minutes of garbage. You've been warned.
