I am beyond excited for Jonathan Parker's new satirical indie comedy (Untitled), about a brooding avant-garde composer who falls for a trendy NYC gallerist, which stars Adam Goldberg and Marley Shelton — watch the trailer here. Seeing as the plot is set in the quirky world of contemporary art and music, it's no surprise that there's lots of modern design to drool over.

Amélie Poulain took not only France but the world by storm. We were all swept away by her quirky French je ne sais quoi, awkward naïveté, and childlike demeanor. Of course, the movie Amélie also made an impression from an artistic standpoint.

While coffee and oranges sound like my ideal breakfast, this eye-opening combo apparently has another, technical use — developing film!
The geeks at Photojojo have created a tutorial for those times when you can't get to the nearest Walgreens and must develop some film, but happen to have some coffee and Vitamin C on hand.
Basically, you make a developer with instant coffee and Vitamin C powder, create a faux-dark room, and you're off.
