...Capri pants are casual women s slacks which reach to the lower calf. The term derives from capric acid, an organic acid (C10H20O2) found as a glyceride in goat fat. Capri pants earned their name in England in the 1920s when a gentleman remarked that a woman wearing ankle-length summer pants looked like a pudgy goat...
...most watchful, and watchable, film faces. As a Paris fashion magnate who takes up with a bisexual stud (Vincent Martinez, purring his sullenness through a Joaquin Phoenix mouth), Huppert brings her appraising intelligence to a sugar-mommy role. She wants her young beau to be a gentleman at table and a beast in bed; often she stares at him as if he were under glass or in a cage. The movie asks, What would you pay for great sex?

...give a Democratic prosecutor $50 million to see what he can come up with about Orrin Hatch. Senator Hatch is a fine Christian gentleman, but $50 million is a lot of money. You could find out a great deal about someone for that. Get copies of videotapes from security cameras in every store he ever shopped in, and if he ever scratched himself in public, we could watch it. Maybe he was undercharged for a pack of hair curlers once and neglected to tell the clerk about it. Interview everyone who has a grudge against him--old secretaries...
