Meal Ticket was so damn sad so it's up there and then the Tom Waits one because of just how challenging it is to have an old man dig a ditch in silence be as entertaining as it was. Ballad was hilarious, too. I thought the last one wasn't...really anything profound? I liked it. But each of the others was either philosophical or just punchy and entertaining. I guess by comparison it is the hard-luck-loser. Also the second to last one needed to be shorter or longer to be better. They were all good, though. And "President Pierce" is such a great name for a little mutt.Hmm, not sure I have a favourite, hadn't really thought about ranking them. But overall I was very impressed by the ride I was taken on, from getting some serious laughs (in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs segment especially) to the very poignant (Meal Ticket), and with all of them having just a great vibe and awesome cinematography.
Speaking of Meal Ticket, I have a reading of that which, when I tried to google it, I couldn't find any corroboration of, so I might be way off (not that that would lessen my enjoyment of it).
Did you have a particular favourite?
