    I cast "Raise Dead Film"

    Dead Man (my favorite) or any movie by Jim Jarmusch. People either love his movies or they "don't get them." All his movies contain depth and symbology. Ghost Dog, Down by Law, and Dead Man are brilliant (and funny). His story compilations (Mystery Train, Night on Earth) get a bit varied in...

    Don't know- What I want to know is - what was up with that sponge "thingy?" I'm not sure, but I thought the guy said it had to do with a particular body function- And did the Roman's not wear socks or sock-type garments? Man, that would be tough just wearing sandels all the time.

    Pirates of the Carribean.

    Yeah, sorry I have a "thing" for Johnny (and I'm a happily married heterosexual man). I have liked/loved most of his movies and own a number of them. He is one of my all time favorite actors. His film Dead Man is one of my favorite movies (I'm also a big fan of Jim Jarmusch). That said, I am...
