Do yourself a favor this weekend: Escape the soulless, only momentarily dazzling, and franchise-saturated special-effects flicks (don't make me name names - you know who they are), and go see a *real* movie. Amelie is one of the best movies of this year - and not only because it has a actual story line, but because it possesses wit, charm, heart, and a touch of most delightful quirkyness. Your soul will thank you later.

And I sure hope Lord of the Rings won't fall victim to the story-cannibalizing greed of Hollywood...

In other good news today - as a Brazilian, you can get your coffee fix now from .... stamps.
