Writing is fun to me. It’s therapeutic and adventurous. And writing means playing around with words: their meaning, their sound, their implications. has been an inspiring movie to me for years (8 to be exact), and mostly because of the chef character Auguste Gusteau. I’ve written about him and his philosophy before, but this week I just want to focus on his name.

I hadn’t noticed when I first watched this movie that his name is actually two anagrams of each other set side by side. In other words, “Gusteau” is just “Auguste” with the letters rearranged. If you didn’t believe me when I said I enjoy playing around with words, you probably would if you saw how much time I spent this week playing with movie titles and their anagrams. It’s so addicting. I suggest you try it. But until then, here are some fun ones I’ve picked out:
