I’ve seen 100 films in a theatre so far this year, which is a new personal high (I saw 87 films in 2001). Number 100 was Bend it Like Beckham, which was the tenth British film I saw this year. Other nationalities: 33 American films, 25 French films, 11 Spanish films, 5 Dutch films, 4 Argentinian films and the rest from around the world like Japan, Korea, Peru, Chili, and China. With still one month to go, I will probably end up with around 110 films. In my personal top 10 so far, Lucia y el Sexo still leads, which is ironic since that was the first film I saw this year, on January 1, in Barcelona…
And that's 100!

Pundo 3000 is an intriguing site about how the packaging is always different from what’s inside. Strangely enough the striking differences don’t shock me. I am apparently used to getting [...]
