  • Palm Springs , because it’s an easy watch, it’s funny and there is not much to stress out about.

    Any of the “Cornetto trilogy” by Edgar Wright and starring Pegg and Frost, my favorite being Hot Fuzz . I’d even add Scott Pilgrim. There are so many details, jokes, references and other easter eggs that I just don’t tire of watching them.

    Finally, one of my all-time favs is Amelie , it awakened my love for cinema, it is beautiful, it has a heartwarming message and there is no real conflict in it.






  • Not exactly what you’re asking for, but it felt really small world to me.

    I saw Anthony Bourdain on TV review a Bánh Mì restaurant in Vietnam and told myself I would eat there someday. Went to Vietnam, pretty much the first time I traveled ever. Went to the Banh Mí place. It was at night, there was a very long queue to get in, I waited in line and ordered. At the counter and on the walls, multiple snippets of newspapers and pictures of Bourdain with the staff and chefs. I sat down with my food, and as I started eating, I received a notification on my cellphone from my local news network at the other side of the world : Bourdain just killed himself.

    It felt very surreal. I was looking at all these pictures with the feeling I knew something all these people didn’t yet.
