...Twilight not just in America. The shadow has fallen over the entire globe. "It didn't really get out of hand until Italy," Weitz says - he filmed scenes in the Tuscan hill town of Montepulciano. "The streets were filled with fans. The nice thing was that they weren't interested in hampering the filming at all. When you asked the crowd of 1,000 people to be quiet, they were absolutely silent. But then when you finished a take, there would be a round of applause, which doesn't happen on a film...
...downturn. Mine has to do with the end of Expectation Inflation, a phenomenon that can be as corrosive to our spirits as price inflation is to our savings. Expectations are a mash-up of hope and conceit, what you've earned and what you imagine luck might hand you as a bonus for just showing up.

Do we now want the Brits bitter that the Irish got their do-over, and they didn't? In 1985, umpire Don Denkinger cost the St. Louis Cardinals a World Series by blowing an obvious call at first base in the bottom of the ninth in Game 6. How did the Cardinal faithful respond to their unholy, unjust loss to their intra-state opponent...
