Short Cuts is my favorite Altman, though I would admit I'm not a faithful student as are other here. Plodding? I was riveted! Altman gets great performances where you least expect it (Huey Lewis, Lyle Lovett) and incredible performances elsewhere (Jennifer Jason-Leigh, Tim Robbins). When I rented this, it was on two cassettes. I was going to watch one and then the other the following night. No way - once I started I was hooked and had to see it through. Worth it just for the Lily Tomlin - Tom Waits scenes alone. Bob NP: Mimi Fox, "Joni Mitchell Medley" (wow!!)
