Major Strasser: You give him credit for too much cleverness. My impression was that he's just another blundering American. Captain Renault: We musn't underestimate "American blundering". I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1918.

The "a pair of eyes walking around a shadowy town" looks so cool. Brilliant art design or cinematography or whoever you wish to give credit to.

Body Heat (1981) An all-time great script. Every scene sweats and crackles.

Depends on the person, but by the time he shows up you're already involved with the film.

Earl, cursing after cutting his hand putting up a barbed wire fence: "Is this a job for intelligent men?" Valentine: "Well, show me one and I'll ask him." Love those guys.

Something big may be happening: Trump's world-historical misrule may be creating the conditions for the emergence of a coalition similar to the one that ousted Viktor Orban earlier this year: Anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy. I made this case here: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

There's a new wave of Democratic ads across the country that are somehow brutally partisan and incredibly effective and it's going to take some time for me to get used to this?

Fall weather has me in a baking mood so today it's cookies. I don't have enough cooling space in our little kitchen so I carry the hot trays to the dining room to put them on cooling racks.

I can't believe the tourism hit on the economy isn't bigger. Our summers used to feature busloads of (mostly) Asian tourists visiting the Frank Lloyd Wright buildings and I've hardly seen any this year.

"Julia Ward Howe, after hearing a regiment of Union soldiers singing 'John Brown's Body,' awoke from a vivid dream, did the fattest rail of coke ever poured out in the 19th Century, and proceeded to write new lyrics for the tune using a pen made from a dead Confederate colonel's metatarsal."

The famous sociologist slash rhetorical scholar Kenneth Burke once posited that self-help book fill a function by making you feel like you are doing the thing, without necessarily leading to you actually doing the thing. I sense that this notion, formulated in the 60s, might be relevant again
