I would like to stay in the subject of coffee, as it is one of the best things to talk about ;)

About two years ago first "Columbus coffee" was opened in Szczecin. It's owners decided to create a whole chain that would be competitive to Starbucks of Coffee heaven. They succeeded. You think I should be happy for the success of the people from my hometown...well I'm not. They sell products of a very low quality, their black coffee has nothing to do with a real black coffee, their idea of a business is to get students who will do their job for very little money so that you can save up and open more cafes all over the country. Right now there are 18 of them, in Poznań too. I'm not saying that they're terrible and that they should not exist - it's still a good place to go with a friend, drink coffee and talk. All I want to say is that there should be more small, independent cafes with people who treat coffee as their passion and not only as money making. I guess you don't have that problem in Poznań - I've seen many different cafes, not only the most popular ones.

In search of inspiration I started to sift through your blogs and Gosia inspired me to write about coffee, but in a slightly different context.

Have you seen "Coffee and cigarettes"? Jim Jarmush is famous for his weird movies, either you love them of hate them. I am somewhere in the middle of this classification - some of his movies I find brilliant, some of them...well, not so much. Many people are crazy about "Dead Man", but I don't like it.  But as it comes to "Coffee and cigarettes" I can't find a single weak point of this movie. The idea is simple - it consists of short scenes that take place in different cafes where people meet and talk about coffee and cigarettes while...drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. Jim knows well Jack White. He and his ex wife Meg appear in this movie and they really funny (if you like that type of humour). I am a huge fan of the music band called The White Stripes, I think that Jack White will never again be as good as he was when he played with Meg (apart from the Dead Weather, but that's a long story) so it was really exciting to watch this movie not knowing that he'll be there.

Another great movie is "Only lovers left alive". The greatest thing about it is how differently people react to it. Some of them are fascinated with acting, music, sense of humour and exceptional atmosphere of it while other can't stand it so much, they have to leave cinema hall in the middle of it (believe me, half of the audience left the room when I was watching it in the cinema!).

If you haven't seen them, give it a try. Let's see wheter you'll love them or hate them ;)
