“And the Oscar Goes to…” “Wild Horse Nine” Searchlight Pictures Directed by Martin McDonagh Starring John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Parker Posey, Tom Waits and Mariana di Girolamo Rated R 4 stars out of 4 John Malkovich has never won an Academy Award. He’s been nominated twice before, but he’s never won. I think that’s about to change. Malkovich’s latest film is “Wild Horse Nine.” Written and directed by Martin McDonagh, it tells the story of two CIA operatives working in South America in the 1970s. Malkovich plays Chris, an opinionated and aging spy who’s teamed up with Lee, played by Sam Rockwell. These two are more than just colleagues, sharing a brothers-in-foxholes friendship, but things change when their section chief (Steve Buscemi) finds out that Chris is openly chatting about their top-secret work, and even planning to write a tell-all memoir. It turns out that the CIA discourages its hired killers from writing incriminating exposés.

Your host demands shoes off, but their floor is filthy. Must you obey?

A host has a strict shoes-off rule and points to a neat row by the door. Inside, the floor is visibly sticky and covered with pet hair. You are wearing clean shoes, no socks, and would rather not spend the evening barefoot.

When does respect for a host's home yield to a guest's comfort?
