Jim Jarmusch on how he got the inspiration to make 'Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai' (1999): "Interviewer: Can you tell me where the initial idea for 'Ghost Dog' (1999) came from? Jarmusch: I can’t really because I did everything backwards. I started with a really vague idea, but wanting to work with Forest Whitaker was really the beginning. So I was trying to think of what kind of character I could make for the qualities in him as an actor that I liked. That contradiction he has of being both gentle and imposing. So it really started from here. I thought of a warrior character, but with a spiritual side so that I could get both aspects of him as an actor. Then the samurai thing became interesting to me. Unlike Western warriors, who trained just as warriors, Eastern warriors like samurai—or more particularly, Shaolin monks in China—are also priests and teachers. Although samurai are not priests, there is a spiritual depth to their training. So it seemed like an interesting thing. Then to make a kind of Don Quixote character who follows an ancient code that is not part of the modern world seemed interesting to me. I started collecting ideas, as I always do, and eventually I sit down and weave them together and see what the hell I’ve come up with." (Jim Jarmusch's interview with Chris Campion, 2000)

@ATRightMovies I can see Lawrence Fishburne as Jules just because of his role in King of New York

@scootykins @tomgreenlive I tried to watch it recently but could not make it too far... but Rip Torn is a great casting. I should give it another go.

It’s not really “lost.” I had thousands of guests on that show over seven years, and almost every one of them said it was the first time they’d ever seen a TV studio in someone’s house. Audio podcasts existed at the time, but they were mostly tech-focused and didn’t really feature entertainers. I was in Los Angeles, part of the comedy scene, and obsessed with late-night talk shows — especially David Letterman — so I tried to recreate that vibe at home. A lot of comedians hadn’t even heard of podcasting back then because they weren’t tech nerds like me. Once they saw what was possible, they realized the door was open — and people went off and started their own podcasts. I was all for it. I didn’t keep anything secret, or “gatekeep” what I was doing. I showed everyone the tech, how it worked, and encouraged them to start their own shows. And they all remember that. I may not have said this before but it was purposeful. I wanted to help dismantle what I saw as a dysfunctional, undemocratic media system. And here we are.

@Fathers_Diary “Everything is good in moderation” who wants to live a completely boring life?

As a man, Be BORING. Build a boring business - that's where money is. Do boring workouts - that's how you get strong. Read boring books - that's where you find knowledge. Eat boring foods - that's healthy. To get far in life, learn to be bored, silent, and alone.

In 2–3 years, there will be no way to tell what’s real and what’s not… and I have no idea how humanity will deal with this enormous problem.

Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight (2008) was most likely influenced by a 1979 Tom Waits interview — the gravelly voice, odd mannerisms, and chaotic energy feel uncanny. Ledger never confirmed it, but the resemblance is hard to ignore.
