amelie

woke up early one morning here in paris and decided to watch "amelie" again. and then i tried going to some of the places she went to....

"the two windmills" restaurant where she worked :)


the metro stop where she first saw the blind guy with the phonograph


she walked down these steps from the sacre coeur


this is carousel where she asks nino to meet her (but there aren't any public phones here anymore)


hihi :D

reel vignettes

i know you've been doing really *inspired* set designs...

so i thought you'd really like this recent event of elle decor in LA...

where interior designers + set designers created vignettes inspired by movies/TV shows.

some were pretty straightforward like this...

the others will take a lot more guessing...

can you guess what these were based on?

(these were movies...)

(these are tv shows...)

check out the whole feature here.

tres cool !

green greetings + woolly wonkas + renting rants

1.

sending you a paperless greeting from messy bessy :)

2.

+ lemme share with you my recent find: woollypockets.

american-born breathable modular planters that are made from 100% recycled materials...

so fun that you can build gardens on floors, or even walls!

i actually even emailed them to ask if we can replicate the program here...

but they said that they only go as far as exporting... so much for small carbon footprints, eh?

read more about woolly here.

i guess apartment living makes me miss the greenery...

so, shall we just make our own? ;)

3.

+ lemme share with you our latest green habit: renting movies via itunes.

think about it:

zero waste,

zero piracy,

in the comfort of your own home.

perfect!

falling for the fall

last night, we watched the fall (on blue ray).

waaaah why did i know of this now???

it was a 2006 film -- produced and directed by tarsem singh,

famous for his music videos (remember Losing My Religion's?)

and his Pepsi "Rock You" commercial.

this film was shot in 18 countries -- including romania, turkey, fiji, india, cambodia etc...

(the actors were adorable, too)

chickout some of the scenes.

and here's the trailer.

uncredeeb!

let's watch it :) (i'll watch it again with you)

everything is illuminated

managed to sneak in another one yesterday...

(this is what i get for babysitting the sick twinpophub)

wow, wow, wow.

what a read -- to think it was the first novel of a 25-yr-old.

it's kinda surreal, funny, sad, happy, historic, dreamy.... can't explain. never read anything like it.

they've managed to translate it into a movie. here's the trailer. now i wanna watch it.

yun lang :)

rec

of course leave it to twinpopbro to send this. it's this year's zombie movie REC from spain. part blairwitch, part 28 days later. here's the trailer of QUARANTINE, the american version of the movie..

and here's the reaction of the audience -- too funny!

can't wait!!!
