Y'know, I'm not a big fan of Jarmusch, and I think most of his movies thematically amount to "hey, this is cool" (he's a hipster dilettante, basically, and he's almost admitted this); but "Dead Man" to me seems like the one film of his with some substance. It feels like a film that really does try to grapple with the

I love football, and I love watching it (Ever been to a college football game? An amazing experience.) but the culture around football is now stupid and brutal. There was a George Will (yeah, I know, I know: I'm a lefty, but I like reading the opposition) article in the Washington Post about how on the 1966 Bear
