    film producers there r many intersting ones:

    the films Guillermo del Toro made r all beautiful to me.

    Known for sure is Hellboy 2, but I don´t know if his film

    Pan´s Labyrinth

    is that famous over there either.

    Pans Labyrinth was kind of big here. It got alot of good critical acclaim. I personally hated it.

    Yeah Bubba I can imagine!
    Nothing wrong with that. A lot of feelings or how other could u describe that horrible exagerated stuff which is involved?
    Still I am happy you replied, cause it gives me the possibiliy to go a lil deeper and dive into the materia which lures behind the surface of the plane phantasy film.

    Born in Germany with the most radical facist history there is to mankind, I think I can imagine to maybe 10% how it must have been to live in those times. (Mainly my thanks go to Anne Frank - and her savors - whose famous autobiographical letters - the diary of Anne Frank - I read when I was 15 !!!)

    Now, living in Spain*, which is one of the countries that had the bad luck to experience a "Civil War" like u over there, and a dictatorship - I hope u or ur children never have to experience - I feeeel different when things like that r mentioned in random phantasy films or per se. And things r getting filled up with a different meanings all of a sudden. They enter and reach probalbly deeper layers of the conscience and sometimes they can touch the subconscience (which certainly aplies to my case).

    (*Spanish and Mexican intellectuals were and r still close knitted to some extent. Guillermo is mexican - I am sure that u know Bubba, but I mention it for others.)

    Yep, and those Wackos have as many words as necessary for ppl that live up that far north.

    Here comes my theory:
    The Inuit e.g. have sososooooooo many words for snow and it s because they live so far north or nearer to the pol.
    Inuit words for snow
    The closer u live by a pol the more u have the urge to communicate to the others in a precise way. (Thats why u need so many a words for.) Thats due to the time u live without the sun. It makes ppl look out more for the security of good social life.

    The further away from the pols and herewith closer to the aquator u live less words r needed in conversations so that often there r misunderstandings which lead to quarrels - and hazzles.

    Send the same folks that r now camping as tuareks in the wide sahara desert to a well functioning Inuit families tent made of Karibu leather, u'll sure see how they start to comunicate. Yep.

    U would eventually want a translation of the lullabi song for Bubba?
    I have to ask my manager how much I have to charge u. her a lil teaser:

    Mmm I like what mama is cooking, lovely bunny....sing sing....


    REASON FOR EDIT: Insert Translation - thanks to the publication in the Thanksgiving thread:

    My name is Doc Snyder. My home ist he wild west. I am feeling fine cause my mom is cooking good stuff. She cooks Jack Rabitt Babitt (Hase - “Popase”=imaginary word that was added to make the ryme). That tastes great. Dedele Baby, Baby, Baby. Got to got to got to feed him, yeah! I am still not tired, I won’t go to bed yet. No, no, no. Doc Snyder won’t do that. Doc Snyder, Doc Snyder, Doc Snyder u write it with y (spelled: üpsilon), ü, ü ü Oh the wall!
    Tirala tata tata tatata la la and now finito. I am tired and will go to lay down, but really really I am not really tired yet or am I? Really really I am tired, but I still won’t go to bed yet…

    Here I found one of my favorite movies. Really hope that its remake will live up to the original produced by Leonard Mogel 1981.
    The site I found is a german one, but that should not shock anybody or keep u from watching the vid. Its in am-english.
    Although their might be a good number of ppl already informed about it, I just HAVE to mention it: 🙂

    A remake? Why? It was done well the first time. What are they gonna do to IMPROVE it, and does it really need UPDATED?

    Wasn't there a sequel as well? I don't think I saw that.

    A Heavy Metal influenced South Park sequence.

    Don't know about any details.

    The only thing I found was that Paramount wanted to do a remake. (see link before)
    If I had known though that this movie is so speciial to u, it would not even have crossed my mind to mention a stupid REMAKE.

    The bounded lady only seemed famous to me, when I saw her again in the Sluth Park sequence. 🙂

    A whole bunch of years ago I saw the original (sorry). 🙂

    Never fan of Leonardo de Caprio I had to admit, that he did a good job in this one:

    Steven Soderbergh´s movie Che is being looked at with controversy.
    I think it was about time a movie about Che´s life was being made.
    If by Soderbergh, the better. To provoke controversies is a good sign for a movie.
    At least it "moves" and interests ppl. Now I am not glorifying Che - I don´t know enough about the truth and even if eye witnesses would tell me today - after so much time of glorification has past - I still would hold on to my scepsis; but he must have had lots of charisma that made him outstandingly special.

    What prevails after all the years is not the "truth" anyways, its the promoted image.
