Is Ghost Dog really that good I always skip over that Jarmusch film I thought it looked ridiculous.

It's not great. It seemed pretty labored to me, like somebody was making a Jarmuschesque film and trying a little too hard. Good soundtrack though.

The best segment of the whole film is when Whittaker attacks the mob family in that house.

RZA's cameo was nice and weird.

That part where he shoots the guy through the sink was stolen from Branded to Kill.

Not that part Chris L, I'm talking later in the film when he rushes in with the two pistols like they were swords.

Ghost Dog definitely did not suck, I sez.

Weird that I have no memory of this but recall all sorts of mundane stuff from the film (of which there is a lot).

How about Broken Flowers?  That was a complete waste of time.  And I know from wastes of time.

Ghost Dog was good, as was about a third of Coffee and Cigarettes (c'mon, you're going to tell me The White Stripes looking at a Tesla coil is anyone's definition of a cinematic triumph?).  I'd say Broken Flowers is the weakest.
