The Case of the Missing Verizon Tech

The tale, based 100% on real life events, fresh in memory since it happened today: 1.  Verizon tech is scheduled to show up between 8 AM - 12 Noon at my apartment in Brooklyn to get us their "amazingly fast" (or some such promising/exciting thing) internet service 2.  Hours go by, no call from Verizon tech or anyone else from Verizon.  A call is placed by me to Verizon around 2 PM, literally 12,000 menus later, the automated system tells me that I am still scheduled to get internet service today & that even a live representative will have that information only (their passive aggressive way of trying to keep potential customers from even attempting to try to get a hold of a live representative). 3.  More hours go by, 6:45 PM, I call Verizon again to see what's going on.  After dealing with 12,000 menus I get a hold of a live representative.  She is not certain why the tech did not show up or call.  And she is not sure when the tech can try to come back out to my

Isaach De Bankole said the story in The Limits of Control is not symbolic

L to R: Moderator from Museum of Arts and Design, "Behind Jim Jarmusch" director Lea Rinaldi, actor Isaach De Bankole, 4/29/11, NYC Let me clarify that title above - of course anything can be symbolic - can hold a meaning other than what is primarily presented in a given object, story, or person, but, what I wanted to find out was that as an actor, when faced with a scene such as the one where De Bankole's character tells Bill Murray's character in the fortress scene that he (the hit man/De Bankole) got into the well guarded facility using his imagination, was that statement in the script accepted as truth in the real world (of the movie) by him (De Bankole, the actor, in playing the character, as opposed to the scene being a dream sequence, a fantasy, or a symbolic/not-real scene)? De Bankole said it - the statement/the event - was real. Further explanation: my question to De Bankole was how exactly did the hit man use his imagination to get into the w

Lots of killing by people who have divided themselves into two competing groups (Sinhala & Tamil) after buying into race theory, one of the oldest & most destructive lies/tool of war & conquest in the world.

Perhaps the logic behind Limits of Control will be revealed in the doc about making of the movie

The doc of which I speak is called Behind Jim Jarmusch (not a great title in my humble opinion, but perhaps it has more meaning in French, most likely the native language of the director of the doc), and it is screening in NYC tomorrow night ( go here for info ). Looking forward to seeing it. Perhaps the doc will illuminate exactly what's going on in Limits of Control - the most mysterious - design wise - of all of Jarmusch's movies. Here are 3 clips from the doc, go see it yo: clip 3 * clip 2 * clip 1 * - S :: :: :: :: :: ADVERTISING New blogs for projects by NYC artist Katheryn McGaffigan:   Blog 1 http://katherynmcgaffigan. blogspot.com/ Blog 2 http://katherynmcgaffigan2. blogspot.com/ Blog 3 http://katherynmcgaffigan3. blogspot.com/ Blog 4 http://katherynmcgaffigan4. blogspot.com/ Blog 5 http://katherynmcgaffigan5. blogspot.com/ Blog 6 http://katherynmcgaffigan6. blogspot.com/ Blog 7 http://katherynmcgaffigan7. blogspot.com/ Blog 8 http://kather
