Queridos compis, la peli asturiana de terror "El Orfanato" de Bayona ha sido seleccionada para competir en los Oscares 2008 en Febrero. Filmada en Asturias (Llanes), escrita por un Asturiano (Sergio Gutierrez) y producida por Guillermo del Toro (El Laberinto del Fauno), fue un exito rotundo en Cannes donde recibio una ovacion ininterrumpida DE DIEZ MINUTOS.

Dear fellas, the Asturian horror flick "The Orphanage" has been selected to compete at next year's Oscars in February 2008. Filmed in Asturias (Llanes), written by an Asturian (Sergio Gutierrez) and produced by Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth), was a hit at Cannes where it received an interrupted ovation of TEN MINUTES.

Can't wait to see it!

PUXA ASTURIES!!!

Van a flipar todos con los paisajes de Llanes. Espero que ganen algo.
Qué pena que sea una peli de terror, que en los últimos años son más bien "gore" y no hay quien las vea. Yo ya no fuí a ver El Laberinto del fauno por culpa de los tráileres tan sangrientos que echaron, y creo que es bastante buena, pero paso. Con El Orfanato tendré que esperar a ver.

The Llanes scenery will flip them all out. I hope they win some award.
Too bad it's a horror flick, though, which will probably be too gory for many of us, as has been the trend in recent years. I'm sorry to say that I decided not to see "Pan's Labyrith", even though it's supposed to be pretty good, just because of the bloody trailers they kept showing on TV. I'll have to wait and see about The Orphanage.

A que si Terechu? La fotografia sera espectacular.
A mi tampoco me gustan mucho las pelis de terror sangrientas pero si las de por las lineas de Los Otros de Amenabar, esa estuvo buenisima...

Da igual, esta peli no me la pierdo, y si no es sangrienta, hasta la comprare para apoyar a nuestro cine.

Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno) is well worth seeing. Good acting and - to me at least - a haunting story line. The violence is intrinsic to the story, not gratuitous. I've also enjoyed The Devil's Backbone (El Espinazo del Diablo). I'm not into horror films as such, but these are well worthwhile. Another good movie (not a horror flick) about the guerra civil is Butterfly (La Lengua de las Mariposas).

For comedy, try The Dinner Game (Le Diner de Cons), which is better in the original French dialogue than the English subtitles. I have no idea whether or not castellano subtitles are available, but I assume so.

Bob I laugh so hard at Le Dinner de Con, did you know Monsieur Pignon died?

Has anybody seen Spain's productions this year's at Film Festivals?

I missed them all

No, I didn't know he had died. I will look for the movies you mentioned.

I can't look at the French title of the movie "Le Diner de Cons" without thinking of Guerin's "Du chevalier qui fist les cons parler."
