In the infamous bourbon scene, Marilyn knew the line but was giving Wilder a hard time, inventively coming up with lines like "where's the bonbon." And as many people have pointed out, Marilyn's back was to the camera and the line could have been dubbed any time Wilder stopped fighting her. As Marilyn once said of directors, "you can't let these people push you around."
One of the very best books I read last year was Sarah Bakewell‘s How to Live: A Life of Montaigne, after seeing you and a few others recommend it. I enjoyed it so much, and have been meaning to read more Montaigne since. Seems like a good sign for me to pick up the complete essays this weekend!
Watched The Apartment last week on your recommendation and loved it!
I love being a maggie

I’m hooked on the brush pen for daily drawing because of your recommendation!
Your newsletter is a gift. Thank you.

Great book! Was my intro, too
Ditto. “How to Live” is a great biography and companion piece to Montaigne.
A lovely start to the day - so many thinkers, from Montaigne to Weir! To Kleon. Thank you.
Love The Pitt! That profile was sooo good
That whole newsletter was a rich read for a Friday morning....now I have to start thinking! Drat it!
I love the thought of being an outlaw with a pencil (or ballpoint, marker, etc.).
I’m so curious why Tucker crossed out “chat with wife”
Total delight from 1 to 10. Thank you, always. You keep me going.
