Stranger Than Paradise

If you eat healthy food, you may find you'll live to 80, 90 or maybe forever, but what are you going to do then? Be one of those old people who are half deaf and incapable of modulating? Is sounding like one of the methadone addicts who call loudly at each other on the street something to look forward to? On the other hand if you eat fast food at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Popeyes and KFC is it possible that you're going backwards and will eventually lose years of your life? Perhaps this isn’t clear. Is there a way that you can reach 60 and get bumped back to 50, kind of a negative credit that ends up cutting things short retroactively? Time and space may appear straight forward but they’re not.There are many glitches and anomalies that get passed over simply because people don’t want to believe there are mysteries in the universe. Stranger Than Paradise is the title of Jim Jarmusch’s l984 breakout film. Eddie one of Jamusch’s characters makes the following remark, “You know it’s funny. You come to someplace new, and everything looks just the same.” On the other hand, the unexpected may occur. You never know.
