Coffee and cigarettes

A new movie by Jim Jarmusch.
Arte had a feature about it yesterday, including interview. Looks like a really nice movie.
Anyone heard about it?

Its like "smoke/blue in the face". Just people talking to each other about coffee, cigarettes and everything. Also, not only actors acting, but real people being themselves. Like Iggy Pop, Tom Waits etc.
Jarmusch`s movies are a kind of their own. One has to see and find out. Highly recommended, though.

Yes, I'm looking forward to this one (and enjoyed Smoke + Blue in the face), but as I gave up smoking 3 months ago it could prove to be something of an ordeal !

I'd like to say my sense of taste has improved, but the flavour of nicotine chewing gum is somewhat overpowering ;-)

According to the book 'appreciating whisky' by phillip Hills (a book I really liked because it learns you how to taste for yourselve, instead of going by the taste-buds of 'experts') the big noses of the wine industry are all smokers. According to Phillip it doesn't matter if you smoke because when you've put your sigaret out and wait for 20 minutes... you can smell all aroma's a non-smoker can smell. This was a big relief (as I'm trying to quit smoking for years now but don't succeed... ever...) and the strange thing was: I smelled more! I've read the book about half a year ago and I smell better than my wife or any of my friends or family... just because I got confident and noticed I could... and developed it (I hear Phil thinking at this point: 'Hey... do some cupping-forms in stead of blablabla'... and he is right!)

One of Britain's best-known craft roasters smokes like a chimney. Doesn't seem to affect his work.
