**Chocolat** oooooh. Excellent film with a plus of Johnny Depp.

If you like _Opposite of Sex_, might I recommend [Trick](http://imdb.com/title/tt0162710/). It’s a very cute gay date movie with a drag queen cameo that should have been nominated for an Oscar.

As a slight aside, this reminds me of the “you might also like” suggestions that shopping sites do.

Today, I check out [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com), and based on my past history of ordering a ton of sci-fi novels, magazine subscriptions, and electronics, Amazon apparantly felt the need to suggest…

You may also like: “The 1st season ‘Friends’ DVD collection”, and “A counter top sausage stuffer!”

The gods must be crazy…
