ya the circuit in Nashville is smaller, it's easier to tie (almost) everyone together, in Short Cuts the constant interaction between storylines & the very astute editing achieves the same effect imo. having seen Magnolia years before Short Cuts, the impact of the earthquake was definitely dulled, but the awful CGI camera shaking more so than the device itself.
