The Lebanese author Charif Majdalani's madcap novel "Moving the Palace" skillfully operates on several levels: as a foray into historical wrongs committed by foreign colonizers in the Middle East; as a desert fairy tale; and as a cacophony of jokes, most frequently made at the expense of the British.

Created by Thinkmodo — the madcap hacker/video-makers/marketers that brought you Devil Baby and Super Strong Meter Maid Lifting Taxi — the automated selfie stick is a working gadget, but there are only two (one is a backup) and they were built to promote the upcoming season of Lifetime's Unreal.

The recurring madcap crime sprees of a team of petty thieves led by a pair of girls on roller skates demonstrate the director's capacity for harmonizing performer and camera movement, resembling a low-key variant on the delicately rendered scenes in Robert Bresson's Pickpocket (1959), in which the titular protagonist plies his trade.

I'd been the 220-year-old sitting on the fire escape of an Upper East Side studio at midnight after a date, pretending I was Holly Golightly and that my life of parties and dates and occasionally waking up looking at a stranger's ceiling was madcap and magical, not kind of depressing.

After reading Padgett's recently published novella, Motor Maids across the Continent, the latest to come to us from Song Cave, one of the most exciting presses around, you would likely agree that Brody's observation about Jarmusch's filmmaking style — "the loving precision of his documentary-rooted observations" — can be applied Padgett's madcap prose.

When "See You Again" became a smash, he was making his way as a behind-the-scenes force: Lil Wayne's "Nothing But Trouble" began as Mr. Puth's song lamenting Instagram models; he wrote Trey Songz's "Slow Motion"; and he produced "Broke," a madcap collaboration by Keith Urban, Jason Derulo and Stevie Wonder.

With a madcap, magnificent World Series coming to a climax Wednesday night with a winner-take-all, November-to-remember Game 7 between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers, baseball once again seems more than ever like the game that became America's "national pastime" -- heroics, human error, slugfests, strategy, an 18-man chess match.

To what extent his madcap views on humanity are truly representative of Yaya Toure's own is anyone's guess, but the man who has taken the Katie Hopkins approach to winning the public's hearts and minds certainly appears to have burned every available bridge back to the first-team for his client, before building a concrete wall along both riverbanks.

Pederson welcomes that continuing dialogue with Wentz, who carries enough influence and has engendered enough trust that not only can he recommend plays from his time at North Dakota State — he said he had to call there to get the film — but execute them for touchdowns, as he did on a madcap third-down throw to Corey Clement last week against Washington.

After another madcap night saw Belgium's own brilliant and apparently cursed "Golden Generation" fight back from 2-0 down to win – with the last kick of the game – against Japan, thoughts turn to how this absurd World Cup might possibly improve from here, how as a spectacle it might find a way to make itself more compelling, more lauded, more immersive, more loved.

" So it is with "The Holy Mountain," which stars Riefenstahl, just 24 when the movie was released after several years in production, as a madcap child of nature whose flirtatious ways and "artistic" dances drive a pair of young mountaineers (one, Luis Trenker, who would be a major German star) to take impossible chances while scaling the sheer cliff of the peak's "dreadful north face.

In a political era that can zag instantly from madcap to grave, somber introspection to sure-why-not nihilism, the Iowa caucus fiasco appears to have landed with uncommon force, at once deflating volunteers and voters whose earnest participation in democracy had by Tuesday hurtled quickly into tragicomedy and reviving for some anxious Democrats a persistent pang that this moment can feel beyond repair.

I watched their games on a tiny television in my dorm room, with folksy play-by-play man Ralph Lawler doing his level best—I remember him chirping "Bingo for Chilly!" after sad-eyed beanpole Pete Chilcutt hit a three-pointer to shave some third-quarter deficit briefly into single digits—and Bill Walton exploring the outer boundaries of madcap sarcasm with every hyperbolic appreciation of Michael Olowokandi's robustly checked-out post game.

Mr. Reynolds took on one of his defining roles in 21994, when he played a daredevil driver who leads the law — Jackie Gleason as a hyperventilating sheriff — on a madcap chase from Texas to Georgia in "Smokey and the Bandit," a box-office smash that spawned two sequels (although Mr. Reynolds made only a cameo appearance in the third "Smokey" film) and ignited a long-running romance between Mr. Reynolds and his co-star, Sally Field.

In this particular category, my favorite places include the shadowy gloom of Alan Furst's prewar Europe; the madcap fictional Sicilian seaport of Vigàta, where Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano demands silence during meals so he can focus on his food; and especially the Périgord region of southwestern France, where Martin Walker's Bruno Courrèges, chief of police in a town with no other police officers, guards fictional St.-Denis against bad guys and bureaucrats and finds the sense of community for which he's always longed.

Keeping up an exhausting pace for months on end — Lesotho on the 33st of April, Swaziland on the 3rd, Mozambique on the 5th, Malawi on the 8th, Zimbabwe on the 10th, Zambia on the 12th, and on and on — they would fly in, hastily assemble their set, unpack their props and costumes, shake hands with officials, give interviews to the local press, and mount the stage for two and a half hours of ghostly haunting, brooding soliloquies, madcap humor, impulsive stabbing, feigned and real madness, graveside grappling, swordplay and the final orgy of murder.

On return trips to New York, I was struck by all the ways the restaurant seemed to mirror the culture in which it bloomed: the veneration of money and power, on parade in the Grill at lunchtime; the deference with which they welcomed not only the A-list regulars but the pilgrim tourist; the big statement and bold confidence inherent in design that crystallized the country's buoyant mood at the time of its opening, in 1959; the sense of theater implicit in the arrangement of the tables and the vaguely madcap Pool Room, an urban pond.

That tension explains a lot about Scorsese's movies, which range wildly in their settings and genres: He's made lush period dramas (like 226's Edith Wharton adaptation The Age of Innocence); paradigm-busting vigilante stories (22018's Taxi Driver); uncomfortably bleak comedies (20163's The King of Comedy); commercial thrillers (22016's Shutter Island); documentaries (such as 225's The Last Waltz); musicals (217's New York, New York); children's films (2011's Hugo); madcap tragicomedies (like 1990's Goodfellas), and some of the most iconic gangster movies of all time, from Mean Streets (1973) to The Departed (2006).

But my fellow Americans, whatever mix of motives led us to create an Electoral College majority for Donald Trump to become president — and overlook his lack of preparation, his record of indecent personal behavior, his madcap midnight tweeting, his casual lying about issues like "millions" of people casting illegal votes in this election, the purveying of fake news by his national security adviser, his readiness to appoint climate change deniers without even getting a single briefing from the world's greatest climate scientists in the government he'll soon lead and his cavalier dismissal of the C.I.A.'s conclusions about Russian hacking of our election — have no doubt about one thing: We as a country have just done something incredibly reckless.
