OK, so will all agree that the best segments are "Cousins" and "Cousins?", right?
sharemy favorites were the one with bill murray and gza and rza and the one after that with the two old guys drinking coffee and talking about paris. i thought it was a good ending to a movie that was long and dull at points
shareCoogan/Molina, hands down.
shareabsolutly! no contest.

Yeah, Coogan/Molina was the best of em all...
shareyep
share"Coogan/Molina, hands down."
Absolutely.
There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can do maths, and those who can't.
Cousins, Bill Murray and No Problem. Isaach de Bankole is the funniest guy in the movie, and with the cuts to French it's even better than the other two. Although if you got the DVD and saw the Bill Murray outtake, it's great too.
shareYep. Definitely.
So both of those characters were played by Cate Blanchett, am I reading this right? That's amazing.

BEST: two old men and junior talking about food and molina/coogan.
of course molina and coogan and blanchett and blanchett.
yet i appreciate the white stripes with the stooges playing under and so casually, and so out of character for them, talking about Tesla and science and mechanical knowledge. and initiating the running line about acoustical resonance. brilliant.
I do think it is ironic that the best skit, people actually relating the best to each other, is someone talking to nothing, Blanchett talking to herself. The Shelly character was so well done that I did't even recognize her as Blanchett without the close-ups. All her mannerisms were totally in consistent contrast to the wilting-flower-Cate.
Otherwise, a lot of the acting in the other skits are really stilted.
I did find it interesting that "Cousins?" looks like it, or was shot at Galapagos in Williamsburg, Brooklyn when they talk about being in LA.
For me, Iggy and Tom; the way they ogle that pack of Marlboros on the table; and finally one says, "The good thing about quitting is you can go ahead and have one," or something like that.
I know this, and I just found out I have lung cancer.
No S., baby.
There are so many tiny moments in this film that have me laughing every time I see it.
When Steven is rambling on about his caffeine-pop and Roberto says "Yes! I understand nothing!"
Buscemi's "Heckle and Jeckle" comment
Iggy's reaction to the disco lights and Hawaiian music
The way Jack White says "Yeah I know what a GFI is, that's not what happened!"
Taylor Mead: "Never never never mind. I need to take a nap, so, wake me up when the break is overrrrrrr..."
I thought it was the funniest thing in Delirium that Gza and Rza kept calling him Bill Murray rather than Bill :D.

That got me too but I also loved how Bill Murray knew exactly who they were in that scene. I just loved that scene the most followed close by the two gangsters and the kid. The gangster with the funny voice always kills me. On the whole, a great movie with the Coogan and Molina scene the most ironic.
