The Brazilian Amazon now has a brand and a logo, with the intent of promoting the 9 states it occupies as a tourist destination! And wow, that logo is a thing of beauty.
The entire branding is pretty neat, but the logo is especially stunning. Each letter is based on real curves of the Amazon river (the longest river in the world), and each letter is also from a different state! Great taste and great execution, here. And all made in Brazil. 🇧🇷
And not only the logo, but they also made a type font called Igaratype, and you can play around and let the Amazon river spell out whatever you want in this live playground.

The Northman
2022, Robert Eggers
My rating: I like it
Robert Eggers knows just how to transport you into not only a different time, but into all the brutality and supernatural aspects of its folklore. What a great movie, even if (thankfully) all the masculine energy it exhales is not my cup of tea.

World of Warcraft - Midnight
2026, Activision Blizzard
My rating: Didn't like it
So much squandered potential. Warcraft has an incredibly rich lore, hundreds of memorable characters, and they even had an entire expansion before to build up to this one. And then proceeded to tell the most boring story ever. What’s worse, they even committed the crime of making the player character have no place in it. Seriously, who thought it’d be a good idea to have a story in which the player factions (Horde and Alliance) don’t even show up?
Gameplay is still fun because it’s WoW, but gosh what a narrative trainwreck.

The Devil Wears Prada
2006, David Frankel
My rating: I like it
A classic is a classic for a reason. Andy’s friends are a pain in the butt though, she’d be better off without them 😅

One of the small things that surprised me the most after moving from Brazil to Italy is how the seasons of the year are very clearly defined over here. Back where I lived we had summer and winter, yes, but none had their boundaries clearly set. It is not unusual to get 30ºC in June (winter) and also to get 10ºC in February. It is also not unusual at all to have both of those temperatures happen in the same day, especially in the fall and spring.
Here, it’s been a bit uncanny. Spring officially started on March 21st and within that same week, the weather got much sunnier, the temperatures rose at least 10 degrees, the trees changed from brown to green, and so many flowers started popping up on the previously-dry trees and on the grass.
Back home, the four seasons were more like suggestions, never truly taken seriously by the weather. Here, they seem to be real. Vivaldi was italian, after all.

Dune Part One
2021, Denis Villeneuve
My rating: Loved it!
Fantastic. Incredible. The soundtrack alone would make any movie good, but pair with amazing visuals and an incredibly interesting story? Heck yeah!
