So, I've finally updated the Jim Jarmusch Resource Page...!
Significant changes:
Updated info! - Including, at long last, Coffee and Cigarettes, Broken Flowers, The Limits of Control, among many other things
Updated/deleted dead links! I've also put more stuff directly on the
site, so as not to be as dependent on the upkeep of other sites.
New design! Nothing fancy, no frills, but a new look all the same,
hopefully a little easier to navigate. Should at least be a lot easier
for me to update.
No more annoying banner ads! No ads at all! Well: the site is
essentially a non-profit web project - I've done it all for free, and
I'm not expecting to get any money from the site (actually it's costing
me: time, and money for web hosting, domain registering etc), and I
don't want ads loitering the site. There's not even a "Donate" button
anywhere. (If anybody feels grateful, feel free to simply drop me a
line saying so :) However, as is more or less common practice, I've
added links, some of these so called "referral" links, to online
retailers wherever such info is relevant, and also set up some
affiliated storefronts for convenience's sake (see the About page),
which would give me a small referral percentage, if anybody cares to
use them. (Please care ;)
New domain name! The new url is
http://www.jim-jarmusch.net
At the moment the site should be regarded very much as a 1.0 release
(or 2.0 to be more exact), i.e. it's still pretty rough around the
edges and I am sure some things remain to cleaned up, or slightly
redesigned before it's as smooth as it should be. Also, there are still
some things I know I'll want to add, and there's bound to be other
changes or additions that the site could benefit from.
I am in charge of the site, but it lives and breathes through the help
and contribution of a whole community of people.
Please do keep the input coming! Report errors, make wishes. And, for
instance, if anyone has written a paper discussing Jarmusch's films, or
if you have an interesting piece of news (or trivia), or perhaps
suggestions on articles or interviews etc, please don't hesitate to let
me know. Also, feel free to bring forward any ideas on how I could
improve the site, or on what more you would like it to offer. Copyright-wise, the site is in a pretty grey area, as much of what I've
posted (and YouTube videos I've linked to, which I haven't uploaded, btw) hasn't been cleared for
copyright. If you find something of yours on this site, be aware that I
try to
credit everybody as accurately as I can (and add links to whatever
sites I've "borrowed" something from). Please don't hesitate to contact
me: I'll be glad to make any changes you might wish for. I obviously
won't be quite as glad if you demand I remove something that I don't
own the copyright for, but I will certainly comply!
