MAS CERVESA, MAS CERVESA!!!

It's about joe strummer having a gun, the pogues being drunk, and courtney love dying. At least that's how I like to think of it... I'm not sure if courtney love actually dies. Oh, and the bass player from the circle jerks running around singing about hot dogs.

Good drunkard movie. I have the DVD, and they interview most of the people in the movie. Basically, the whole cast just went on holiday and they filmed it. Ended up being a great movie. In fact, I've always thought that Pulp Fiction was a pretty big rip off of straight to hell, but I'm probably over-analyzing agian.

A friend of mine keeps telling me to get it. I've never been able to find the DVD.

I think CR hit it right on the head. Cameos by Dennis Hopper, Grace Joans, Jim Jarmish and others. Plus, Elvis Costello plays the butler.

Did you mean Jim Jarmusch, the director? I love his movies. Ghost Dog is incredible and the guy even got Tom Waits to star in his films.

Yep, same guy. I really liked Dead Man, but Down by Law is one of my favorites.

Not sure if it's cause I was always drunk/stoned (droned, for those of you looking to increase your vocabulary), but Ghost Dog has always been a great movie IMO. Something about the sick beats and the quiet intensity of it has always appealed to me. Plus those OGs are fucking hilarious.
