And the best segments are...
OK, so will all agree that the best segments are "Cousins" and "Cousins?", right?
shareI have only seen the film once, last night, but I felt that the first half of the film wasn't as good as the second. I liked "Cousins" and "Cousins?", Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil, and Delirium particularly. Most of the rest were okay but the last half is much more entertaining.
share1. Champaigne
2. Tesla Coil
3. Cousins?
I just thought Champaigne tied up the movie pretty well, and Taylor Mead is sooo good in it. Right out of the gate: "I've lost touch with the world." (and he has-- "Where are we?" "The armory.") Then there's the part where he pimps Paris in the 20's and explains, and the other character just says "New York in the 70's-- the late 70's" w/out explanation, but is any really needed?
After watching Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil admittedly there was an urge to go get one and roll it into the nearest Starbucks or whatever on a red wagon, don the gloves and goggles, and to fire it up-- can you imagine? This isn't really the point of the scene but oh well.
Cousins?-- "It would be shabby to give you my number now?" "Mmm . . . yes" 'nuf said.

Cousin? was my favorite, very awkward. Molina is great in it. Cousins was good too, and so was Somewhere in California. Delirium is the most popular, it's pretty funny and quotable, but not my favorite. The two old gangsters was good too.
shareHey, wow.
That's pretty much exactly my order.
Though maybe I'd have switched Cousins and the White Stripes around.
