Imagine my surprise when I see what I think is a Moleskine in one of my favorite movies of all time.

I didn’t really need a reason to watch Jean Reno movies but the off chance that I might spot Moleskine just makes a night of watching great movies that much better.

This isn’t the only time I’ve spotted Moleskines on film; the is a Columbo episode co-starring Johnny Cash where an NTSB investigator uses one. If anybody has screencaps of that let me know.

Two French policemen, one investigating a grisly murder at a remote mountain college, the other working on the desecration of a young girl’s grave by skinheads, are brought together by the clues from their respective cases. Soon after they start working together, more murders are committed, and the pair begin to discover just what dark secrets are behind the killings. IMDB.com

I should make one minor correction. I made a mistake when posting the link to the IMDB.com entry.

MOLESKINE: APUNTES Y REFLEXIONES: en su libreria Casa del Libro Published 2004

It is a notebook with black covers that always accompanies me; in its pages I spill my doubts, my astonishments, and my every day quarrels. Also I sketch articles, chapters of my novel, stories, grocery lists, declarations of intentions and reminders of commitments that I generally forget.

Maybe you heard that the notebook used in the Indian Jones movie was a Moleskine–not so. Check out this site.

If you look close you will find that the gryphon isn’t the only mythic creature hiding on the cover of Dave Eggers’ How We Are Hungry.

From the glossy black cover, elastic strap, embossed logo, and nondescript title band; to the cream colored pages it is clear that someone is a Moleskine fan.

Finally someone agrees with me: all books should be Moleskine.

This is why the Moleskine notebook has, and will continue to out strip the poseurs; the inovative page designs. Also check out the Moleskine music book.

The new Moleskine Storyboard notebook is ideal for advertising creatives, graphic designers, filmmakers, and cartoonists. Each page consists of a sequence of storyboard frames for drawing mini-stories. The first half of the book has two frames per page - the last half has four frames per page along the left side, with room to write text to the right of each frame. A great productivity tool to help create graphic and narrative depictions.

It must be all the buzz being generated by moleskine fans like the people at moleskinerie, but I keep seeing the little black books popping up in print–places where I don’t remember noticing them before.

The latest example comes from Readymade Magazine on page twenty four of the Jan/Feb 2004.
