Now comes the question: What can I do?

Sweding is putting you in something you like

With this sentence, you can picture the thing and if I write more, then I will ruin the pleasure of discovering Be Kind, Rewind's universe.
First of all, the title: Be Kind, Rewind! It just sounds great. Gondry's uncopiable style is all there. But this time, he is not talking about love, which I like cause he has quite something with love (see ESOTSM). Main subject is cinema itself which may be risky but then his talent comes into play to deliver a great message about making your dreamt life/ way of living come true. In the end, it makes a rather positive movie, especially about the US. Again I enjoyed this a lot from a French point of view.
About the actors, Jack Black is just crazy as always, but the revelation here is Mos Def, yeah the rapper! I am so glad for that guy, he is simply good in the movie. In a word, new Gondry's movie is great, you should watch it asap!
There is also a great website that is worth visiting: http://www.bekindmovie.com/
You can watch the trailer of course but you can also watch crazy little reinterpretations of real movies that are insane (but then I said too much already, sorry!)
I had such a great time that I re-watched his DVD, the Work of Director Michel Gondry (also available in this collection Spike Jonze or Chris Cunningham that are also amazing), so cool!

The World according Monsanto

You have to watch this documentary made by Marie-Monique Robin. It is very useful for you and your future health as well as the one of our planet.
It is as simple as that!
It can still be watched for free on the link below until Tuesday evening:
http://plus7.arte.tv/fr/detailPage/1697660,CmC=1940000,scheduleId=1933560.html

You may be willing to download it and you will have to pay 3€, which is very cheap for such a well constructed and amazing documentary.
Arte created a channel on their website to access all relevant information about the film (book, DVD, blog of the director), check this out:

Yashica forever

Also stolen from me last weekend, my beloved Yashica T5 offered by my parents in 2001 as a X-mas present. This camera is so out-of-date in this all-digital era that I can not picture myself what the hell the guys that robbed it are going to do with it.
Though its Carl Zeiss lens made it a perfect tool to feed the geek that lies within me.
Anyway, I want to make sure its memory will remain.
There you go:

Bye bye ipod + Nikon

Some of you may not like the photos I share on my picasa.
For the few ones that consider there is something of me in them (which is already a massive compliment to me), you will have to live without new ones, for a certain period of time at least (weeks/ months?). Indeed, I was stolen my lovely Nikon D40 last weekend and I miss the thing a whole lot.
The bastards also stole my brand new ipod and the keys to my house.
Let's celebrate their absence in my life with a last eye-blink.
