yah so

i just watched Ratatouille finally this past weekend. and i couldn't help but notice:

- colette rides a motorcycle. (something called a CAWALA no less. fictional Kawasaki? OF COURSE, silly!) and has decidedly asian-esque features despite the fact she's supposed to be français.

- the restaurant (despite supposedly also being français) is called: Gusto. oh sorry, i mean: GUSTEAU ( mhmmp.)

- the rat's exasperating-but well-meaning-and-overall-good-hearted brother is named: emil


ee hehee heee

i'm just sayin.

LOL.

Did you see Grindhouse: Deathproof?

The Rosario Dawson character is named Abbe, she has short bangs and she's from the Phillipines.

Do I remember you mentioned Quentin Tarantino in the book? He was sweating you, right?

Also, the movie was smart enough to show how the staff knew who the food critics were, as soon as they walked through the door. And Bruni's name - Anton Ego! Perfect.
