...Mind you, I don't begrudge the creators of even a junk-food movie like Cloverfield the fun they had demolishing New York one more time. The city is as irresistible to filmmakers as it is to terrorists, and for the same reason: it's an amazingly dense and compact symbol of power. Harryhausen, Carpenter, Abrams and the I Am Legend team, among many others, see a city ready to explode from its own ambitions and animosities, from all that compressed energy; they'll just give it a push into catastrophe. But I have to agree with my wife...
...last time you had sex, there was arguably not a thought in your head. O.K., if it was very familiar sex with a very familiar partner, the kind that-truth be told-you probably have most of the time, your mind may have wandered off to such decidedly nonerotic matters as balancing your checkbook or planning your week.

...impropriety. Beauvoir was a walking paradox: liberated but still dissatisfied, independent but jealous, sexual but romantic, and, above all, the kind of woman who could laugh about a nude picture. By the standards of her bourgeois upbringing, Beauvoir did live an unorthodox life. She earned a living with her mind, having aced France’s most hallowed philosophy exam to come second only to Jean-Paul Sartre, with whom she founded the existentialist school of thought. The two became an odd and inseparable pair, loving each other with an explicit allowance for outside dalliances. Under that agreement, she fell...
