Re: Jarmusch's b-day being in Jan

To me it is somewhat very appropriate that Jim Jarmusch's birthday falls in late, well, the start of the late period, early 20's (1/22), January. 'cause over here in DC area January is cold winter (usually), not much is happening, streets are usually emptier than in other parts of the year (just as in movies by you know who). But January is a very important month, the first month of the year, a month that is both the definite end of the previous year and the definite beginning of the new year. This, to me, feels like a good month for Jarmusch's birthday, since January has some qualities that Jarmusch movies have. Just a fleeting thought.

Introduce us to your favorite painters & paintings.

There's a PBS (i think) show on French painters right now. Other, older, forms of art, & the people who made them, can be inspirational & useful for filmmakers I think. I've learned a lot from indie rock (some aesthetic stuff, lots of bidness stuff), maybe I can learn stuff from painting too. So in July & August I am going to blog about painters & I would like you to comment & tell us about your favorite painters & other interesting stuff about painting. Painting is thousands of years old. Filmmaking is a little over 100 years old. US Indie filmmaking as we know it is perhaps a little over 50 years old (w/ the beginning somewhere around the time when the Cassavetes generation got its inspiration/started work). Us new indie filmmakers - the digital/web/DIY generation, can probably learn a lot by taking a look at/getting to know, painting & other older art forms. I'll start w/ Edward Hopper . Here's page w/ a lot of info on him. His most famou...
