One article on the filming history between Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits noted: "On the day of filming, Waits was grumpy and exhausted from promoting his 1992 LP Bone Machine: “Maybe you better just circle the jokes ’cause I don’t see ’em,” he reportedly barked at Jarmusch. Eventually, he settled down. But, as Jarmusch recalls in Lowside of the Road, “I wanted him to keep some of that paranoid surliness in the script.”" Given that, one can wonder if there were any subsequent changes to Jarmusch's script. Still fun to see Waits as a dead-pan BS artist with Iggy as a trusting puppy dog. You might enjoy Iggy in "Coffee Therapy | Iggy Pop & Stumptown Coffee".
Can you imagine the insane lives they lived up to this point? All reduced to a diner in the midst of a sacramental nowhere waiting for the wisps to wither. Beautiful
My videography teacher showed us this and then turned us loose with our cameras. It was a great inspiration of how something as trivial as a cup of coffee between friends can be shot beautifully and hold your full attention.
I love how Tom leans into "The beauty of quitting..." part, you can really see his brain thinking of a way to get one of those cigarettes in his mouth. Iggy's curious face after this line is hilarious. Like some code has been unlocked to justify it all.
I love how Iggy- who many consider to be one of the coolest cats ever- is really just so insecure and eager to ingratiate himself with Tom, who is actually way cooler than him. But then in the end it’s Tom who’s shown to be just as insecure by checking to see if he’s really not on the jukebox! 🤣
@@patriciofernandez2711 exactly, although I also get the feeling that he’s just fucking with Iggy too, to throw him off his game and gain the upper hand. Or even just for the fun of it 🤣
This is the perfect thing to watch where you’ve quit smoking but you’re having one, you know, because when you quit you can have one if you want. IHOP’s a classy brew ... I remember seeing this in the theater and everyone lit up in unison as soon as they exited the theater. Thanks Jarmusch
Best sketch in the whole movie! 2 famous eccentric baby boomer musicians (of no particular genre anyone ever pinned anything on) who've always been their own solo act lead singers, never a band. Kind of like 2 lone wolves briefly crossing paths. I wonder if there's ever been a public interaction with em' ever since!
One of the cool things about this sweet scene is that it shows, primarily through Waites' repeated asking of "what are you saying?", that language itself is primarily a tool used to make points, and to make them clearly, with the primary goal of language being to get one's point across without your interlocutor having to continually ask "what are you saying?" The entire scene is a a Ted Talk on how failure to reveal one's cards can derail an otherwise budding convo. The banter is ok, and the short periods of silence between each speaker's speaking are both welcome and laudable. But I get a feeling that Iggy and Tom might have prolonged the pleasure of each other's company, and perhaps might have grown closer had Iggy and Tom to some extent been more "pointed" in what they had to say to each other. But alas this was all pre-planned in the script, the entire concept being to show, within the structural confines of "coffee and cigarettes", how friendship-forging or friendship-growing convo can become slowly but surely derailed by a certain bumbling and stumbling of conversational banter. And if you want to be cynical you can always assume that all Iggy wanted out of Tom for instrumental purposes was to get him to consider possibly hiring the "industrial" drummer, and when Tom expressed disinterest, that's about when Iggy kind of lost interest and said I've gotta be going. Or the more modest interpreter might just conclude that their mutual insincerities built up too much to the point of Iggy having to get going because it was Tom's favorite bar and he was going to keep hanging out there regardless.
@@dropkickirish4449 No, dullard, it's called typing comments to a TH-cam video. Thinking involves the mind, the brain, the intellect--all of which are clearly underdeveloped in a cretin such as yourself. Get your facts straight before you unveil your stupidity before the world.
Funnily enough, Radio Birdman's Deniz Tek who once played guitar on stage with Iggy at a Scott Asheton tribute is both a dedicated musician and an emergency doctor. Used to be a flight surgeon in the US Marines.
LOL nothing worst then roadside surgery! The beauty of quitting is now that I’ve quit I can have one! Love this whole clip! Love the crazy facial expressions.
I used to think Tom Waits was doing his best "Cosmo Kramer" in this scene. Now I contend Michael Richards styled his "Seinfeld" character, in part at least, after Tom Waits
There are a bunch of these (the one with Bill Murray & wootang is great too) but this one is my favorite. These two shoulda been bigger actors. If this is improv- they fuckin NAIL it!
I’m doing it now at 11:50 pm on my back porch in Denver, Colorado. The first time I did it was in my barracks room on a ten acre Army base in the middle of nowhere farmland Bavaria, Germany in 2002, and drank so much coffee I gave myself an anxiety attack. It’s definitely a great experience to revisit every once in awhile, and will really accelerate your mind, but a little too much if you don’t pace yourself on the caffeine and nicotine.
Jim Jarmusch's short was filmed in 1993 and won the Palme d'Or for Short Films at the Cannes Film Festival. It was later incorporated in Jim Jarmusch's "Cigarettes and Coffee" (2003), which is an anthology of short films. Two earlier included shorts were filmed years before.
Your comments and perspective, as contrasted with those like myself who thoroughly enjoyed this, are both perplexing and absolutely appropos of this short film.

This is a masterclass in storytelling that all filmmakers should watch! Using only eight shots, it conveys more personality than countless features.
and... no cgi, explosions, american presidents giving inspiring speeches, topless women etc.
Amen
@@donniecatalano i wouldn't have minded the topless women
a lot more than 8 shots, buddy

I don't even smoke cigarettes, and this makes me wish I could quit, so I could have one...
Just go ahead and quit now and thank yourself later. It'll save time.
Ever since I had one and then I quit life has been bliss. Now next time I need one I can have one.
😅😅😅
Music and medicine - Tom excels at both 😎
I love how Tom leans into "The beauty of quitting..." part, you can really see his brain thinking of a way to get one of those cigarettes in his mouth. Iggy's curious face after this line is hilarious. Like some code has been unlocked to justify it all.
awkwardness as high art

At this point they could have been twins born in cool
It's hilarious that he's so easily offended by everything, like interpreting Iggy suggesting a drummer as a dig that the drumming on his records suck.
@@patriciofernandez2711 exactly, although I also get the feeling that he’s just fucking with Iggy too, to throw him off his game and gain the upper hand. Or even just for the fun of it 🤣
My personal favorite bit of that being “You can call me Jim or Iggy, or…you call me Iggy.”
“Well, I’m sorry I’m late Jim.”
But the punchline is “He’s not on there either.”
This is the perfect thing to watch where you’ve quit smoking but you’re having one, you know, because when you quit you can have one if you want. IHOP’s a classy brew ...

I smoke once every 2 weeks or so to feel like I am living life.
I've always loved this shtick, the most awkward conversation ever.....
The MUSIC makes it.
I need to watch this tripping. There are layers to dissect here.
Tom Waits is my favourite actor.
this a great movie to watch when your smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
And Hawiian music that just fulfills the mood. OHH man!
I just did
@@michaelwertzy9808 courtesy of the McPoyles.
Such a great metaphor for the friendly competitiveness between musicians. So well done.
- "The beauty of quitting is that I can hav one... cause I quit"
- (4:06 - Iggy's face)
The look Tom gives Iggy at 8:06 just cracks me up every time
Look, I'm sorry I'm late, Jim
Eternally Cool :) I'm so glad this exist! I could watch an entire TV series just these two having coffee and cigarettes :D
Wow! This damn thing is 20 years old.
This vignette was filmed in 1993 or so, 32 years ago man!!
What are you saying? That im a taco bell kinda guy? Love it
iggy pop's goofy nervous laugh fucking kills me every time, man. this is just amazing

Iggy was in a band tho
this movie is awesome
y'all nailed it
The one person who disliked this is dead between the ears. And the legs, most probably...
This seems to be an homage to My Dinner With Andre in a way. I don't know how I missed this.
2 musical legends.
This is what got me smoking at 2003
Classy brew, classy brew.
This is such a deep movie, its hard to spot what exactly the creators were trying to convey at times but it was a complex set of emotions.
If I know Jim Jarmusch - and I know Jim Jarmusch - then he wasn't trying to convey anything. A complex set of emotions is surely enough.
Flawless.
9 people are Taco Bell kind of guys.

You've a lot of time on your hands, haven't you?
azstanp: And you have no original thoughts, LonelyBoy. On the other hand, you will always have internet porn to keep you company. 🥰🥰🥰
@@azstanp It’s called “thinking” and an analysis of a scene. You should give the first one a try.

I never knew Iggy was such a William H Macy.
All of his midwesterness came out in that "awww... forget it man."
Why is a scene which is basically pure ASMR so engaging rather than putting you off to sleep?
I wish i had a place in my town where i could go and order a piece of pie and a pot of coffee and smoke and relax.
"You're a doctor?" "Yeah, I'm a doctor" Someone help me out here. This must have been improvised. No one can write dialogue like that.
It has porn niveau!
not improvised, its a running theme in the movie
Imagine Tom Waits as Hellboy
Imagine Ron Perlman as Tom Waits.
on the hellboy dvd set, Hellboy's favorite musican is Tom Waits
i guess I'm kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Tristian Zane I watch on flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Tristian Zane i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
“What’re you saying, man? You’re saying like, I’m like a Taco Bell kinda guy?”
There are very few things that make me laugh this hard.

Coffie and cigarrettes que buena peli!!!

Cigarettes and coffee, man. That's a combination.
Ya know we're really like the coffee & cigarettes generation.
@@finnhoffman Sorry about that.
Wow, Tom is shorter than I thought
Helluva scene.
LOL nothing worst then roadside surgery! The beauty of quitting is now that I’ve quit I can have one! Love this whole clip! Love the crazy facial expressions.
Iggy looks like a lost little puppy throughout this whole scene
Christian Chiakulas that’s the point
He's terrible. Tom looks natural.

Michael Richards Kramer predates this movie with 24 years, so no.

its not improv... Tom was in a bad mood the morning of the shoot and told Jarmusch the script wasn't funny.
Strange how much cringe AND relaxedness this exudes at the same time.
❤
Some have said that watching this with coffee and cigs is a thing.

And maybe add Otis Redding's 1966 song 'Cigarettes and Coffee' to the mix.
I wanna goto ihop dawg
🤘💯
Its bizarre that Iggy is older than Waits. Feels like Waits is from another time
They’re 2 years apart…
I love Iggy.
This is art if I’ve ever seen it….,witch I do now….,well I think I take a cigarette and think of what I’ve done 🥳🙌
Since ive quite i can have one💨
If you ever smoked and knew just how good Marlboro Reds tasted…..those were the days
this is very interesting yall. sort of philosophical
Chi ha scritto la sceneggiatura. Questi dialoghi ? ( anche se possano apparire strani in un primo momento , a parer mio sono geniali ).
Well said, agreed.
@@christopherbako grazie mille.
This is what will happen when the rest of us pass away, there will only be these two left.
5:30 little did they realize that one day Taco Bell and Vape would become the new coffee and cigarettes
Waiting for Godot.
5:45 - TB is def more my style!
Waits is Punks weird cousin
....no comment!
He's not on here either!
How old is this or what did this actually air on
I believe it was done at least 20 years ago.

Iggys legs??
He was diagnosed with scoliosis with his right leg being 1 1/2 inches shorter.
Tom waits is like Joe Peshi,you think I'm funny?how funny?im glad he didn't shoot Iggy on his leg😂

Because if this was now it’d Bubblegum Vapes and Frappuccino tea.
