Stranger Than...

Stranger Than ParadiseFilm still from Stranger Than Paradise, Jim Jarmusch's first feature. Though it came out in 1984, it officially ushered in the culture of "the 80s" for me; the deadpan irony, Screamin' Jay Hawkins' retro-cool sound, and the peculiar sensation that wherever you went in the U.S., it was all the same because that was your world-view, no matter how limited. More stills here from Nostalgia Party No. 2.

Nostalgia party is not nearly as fun as Lemon Party! (I'm the guy in the baggy lemon suit).
