...there must be a better system. It is simply impossible for one photographer to photograph six people within one ten-minute slot. Thus, may we suggest a few alternatives: to start, one person per ten-minute slot; next, sending activity forms to seniors in advance with a reminder of scheduled time and payment procedures would also expedite this process...

L.A. is, after all, the world's easiest satirical target. Moreover, Altman and co- screenwriter Frank Barhydt are adapting -- freely commingling is a better description -- short stories by the late Raymond Carver. These have quite a different bleakness about them and are, anyway, resistant to the implicit cultural generalizations the movie tries to impose on them. Carver was content to capture discrete moments...
