My Review- 

Even though this was a film of short stories and the only thing connecting them was that they were either drinking coffee/tea or smoking or not smoking cigarettes it was very boring, I actually fell asleep twice watching it and had to go back to see what I missed. I think the only two segments I liked in the movie were Somewhere in California which had Iggy Pop and Tom Waits in it talking in a dinner about how they quit drinking and smoke while having an extremely awkward conversation about music and their lives at the time. The other one I found really good was another one called Cousins? that had Alfred Molina and Steve Coogan who could be potentially cousins and how Coogan is more recognizably than Molina which made for awkward moment which lead to another. Out of all eleven segments only 2 stood out which is not a good think, I did find the one with Bill Murray interesting but other than that it was not good as the other two. I think I chose the wrong Jim Jarmusch movie to watch for the first time on my list, I should have chosen another more well known movie from him. I though this movie was really boring and do not recommend watching it, unless movies that have some connection like this one will suit what you like than watch it, other than that just skip it.
