...invite the biggest fool he can find. The audience is caught between pitying Bronchant's "idiot," Pignon (Jacques Villeret, pictured) and laughing at his inability to comprehend even the simplest situations.

No matter how many new worlds Hattie takes the girl to, Indigo longs to return to the tribal gardens in the dunes. The plot undergoes some awkward twists to accommodate that wish, but Silko has crafted...
...speculated about becoming his girlfriend, according to Tripp's FBI interview. The same night she called another friend, Harolyn Cardozo, who told Starr's grand jury that Willey said she was going to be the Judith Exner of the Clinton White House, a reference to John Kennedy's mistress...
