I read a concert review the other day about a recent Marianne Faithfull show. I've been a fan since"Broken English", and she brings to mind a tough-yet-tender late-night chanteuse, and would be on my short list of people with whom I'd like to share a closing time drink.

Though Fantastic Mr. Fox was adapted from the Roald Dahl book, Wes Anderson and his co-writer Noah Baumbach drew from their own — quirky, naturally — experiences for the movie's script. At the New York Public Library last night, Anderson recalled one moment in particular that never made it to the movie's final version.
