...seduced by the sick wonder of it all. One character (Crispin Glover) puts cockroaches in his underwear and breaks into sobs when told that Christmas is still six months away. Heads get crushed, punctured and blown sky-high; a dog trots past with a severed hand in its mouth. Lula has the movie pegged when, at one typical moment, she exclaims, "Lordy, what was that all about...
...well-known tastemaker in his own day, Louis Tiffany is now often confused with his father Charles. Charles was America's premier jeweler who founded Tiffany & Co., and son Louis (1848-1933) was born with a vermeil spoon in his mouth. Louis remains a shadowy figure, energetic and Victorian stolid.

Original styles almost always look crude and excessive: Picasso's in painting ("My three-year-old could draw better!"), Brando's in acting ("He's got marbles in his mouth!"), Elvis' in music ("Photograph him from the waist up!"), Bruce's in comedy ("Book him!"). In their first outrageousness, these artists seemed to signal the end of the world; instead, they were heralding a new one. "A creator is not in advance of his generation," said Gertrude Stein...
