...think it's much of a spoiler to say that this wee chap (played by Peter Dinklage) eventually gets his comeuppance. It is, after all, the business of farce to restore order to radically disordered situations. The fun arises as we helplessly witness the mad logic by which, step by tiny step, chaos asserts its dominion over normalcy. Take that naked fellow on the roof. Until today, he was a perfectly normal lawyer, a trifle nervous about meeting his fianc?e's family, but steadying himself by taking what he thought was a Valium. Not his fault that he grabbed...
...modern era, who wins at Carnoustie is decided not by the innovation of the modern swing but by its sturdy application. When Ben Hogan won in 1953, Scots dubbed him the Wee Ice Man for his small stature and unflappable play. Tom Watson remained calm in 1975 despite failing to make a par on the 16th hole in all four rounds.

The bride (Gummer) loved Harris too, but it is Ann (played as a young...
...future fiancé’s suite. Hastrup, of course, was a bold suitor. “Every time he would walk up he would bang on the door,” says Sawlit, and the two would often stay up writing papers and talking until the wee hours. After their relationship became more serious, their roommates predicted that wedding bells were a foregone conclusion. Sawlit’s friends told her that she was going to be the perfect wife, and even Hastrup, just a few months into their courtship, told her outright that they would definitely...
Measuring his resume against my brief careers as a figure skater (age five) and a goalie (pee-wee soccer), I was fairly sure that Donato would accept. I’ve seen him skate in practice, and the former forward is nothing if not competitive. And a shootout with me...well, it looks pretty much like a guaranteed...
