Fishing with John!
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 03:34 PM by Shakespeare
Couldn't resist the copycat urge.

But have you seen any of this six-episode series? John Lurie with an assortment of celebrities, including Dennis Hopper and Tom Waits. And yes, they go fishing. "Surreal" inadequately describes the series, but you haven't lived till you've seen Tom Waits put a live Red Snapper down his pants.

Edited for link to video: http://www.criterionco.com/asp/release.asp?id=42

Also, I believe Netflix has this one in their library.

2. I've seen all 6
...the Criterion Collection version. Great documentary.

And the theme song is infectious too.

3. (soporifically:) "Fishing..........with John......"
I also love the impromptu shark fishing music he and Jim Jarmusch come up with on the boat in their episode.
