However, I can't really say if its as good as Southland Tales. Even what I can write on that subject I'm not going to. And, yes, performances are described as coup d'états all the time. I'm always using coup d'état when I'm describing things in my head. Coup d'état. It’s as good or better than Time Bandits, I can say that with some definition.

I still haven't seen <em>Imaginarium</em>, but I'm hatching a plan to maybe go see it this Friday. Trying to keep my expectations in check, but… let me ask something: is it as good as <em>Southland Tales</em>? I know, a completely different kind of movie, but first blush--is it as good?
