Moleskinerie friend John Gamber shares a recent notebook sighting with us:
"Emotional Arithmetic focuses primarily on three people who formed a bond in the Drancy internment camp, where they were imprisoned by the Nazis during World War II: Jakob Bronski (Sydow), who saw goodness in two orphaned children in the camp, Melanie (Sarandon) and Christopher (Byrne), and who helped them to survive. Decades after their release from Drancy, their emotional wounds still affect their lives in different ways when they meet again..."
This movie is titled "Autumn Hearts: A New Beginning" on DVD. Anyone seen this?
I think I Saw it in Top Gear, 12x03, Richard Hammond uses one when they time the Renault Avantime.

I always wonder if Moleskine is paying for product placement. I will be using Moleskine forever, but sometimes I find that I'm becoming less and less enchanted with "The Company". I never will understand how hundreds and hundreds of artists so willingly provide this mass publicity to Moleskine, Inc. without payment.

Maybe Mr. Byrne (or the prop person) just uses one. It was literally in the movie for two seconds, and it never came up again. I had to watch it a few times to really make sure it had the elastic, etc.

Yes this was a great movie and I saw the new Bond movie and there was a moleskine sighting in it as well.

Michael's right. Felix has one on the plane in Quantum of Solace.
