One featured a fast-paced dance sequence in which two male Indian actors pursued the lead female actress (high stimulus, strong plot). The other involved a more languid sequence without a compelling hook (low stimulus, weak plot).

...feel extraordinarily good about where we are," he said over and over, in different iterations, as Giuliani's languid campaign performance turned off voters in state after state. DuHaime called certain New England states "momentum-proof," while saying he felt "very good" about other states, like Florida, that Giuliani would eventually lose.
