Well yeah it's why i watched it, porque the costumes were a sight in themselves.

I watched a few trailers of the other boleyn girl, and yep, i agree with you...the dilalogue sounds retardo. But i do it for the sake of the costumes...or does that suck too?

I was trying to see if i could find the movie Elizabeth, but i can't...crying.gif

Did you watch Elizabeth: the golden age? i thought it was a bit boring.



The Golden Age was so boring, the costumes were great, but boring movie! I like the first movie Elizabeth. Anyways The book "The other boleyn girl" is better than the movie, the movie  was not so good.

Thanks, Guada. wink Tarde pero seguro.

Boy, it's been ages since anyone posted on this thread. Doesn't anybody read anymore? I guess it's more the case of Doesn't anybody post anymore?

Aaaaaanyway... I'm reading Obama: From Promise to Power, and I'm loving it. I can totally understand now why this guy is such an icon and a promise to the his people and the U.S. in general. I just hope he becomes president.

So, in continuing with my Isabel Allende read-a-thon, I just finished reading Ines del Alma Mia... I can't say that it was one of my favourite books, but I just fell in love with the story of Lautaro, a mapuche toqui or cacique, who's not really the main character, but he turns out to be a very important and crucial character in the story. I'm sure Allende didn't mean to make him out to be such a hero, but I just fell in love with his story, especially knowing it's based in facts.

I give this book 8 bloody dismembered heads out of 10.

I give Lautaro my eternal admiration. Gotta read more on him.

Oh i agree, the historical and description of the scenery is beautiful. I'm not sure how far you are in the book, but i felt that in parts she told too much, that you figured out what was going to happene next. It's a good read none the less.

Eva Luna is fantastic, the sequel to The house of the spirits if i remember correctly. The stories of Eva luna is also nice.



So far I like Inés, more for the historical value than anything. But I guess I'm biased, 'cause Allende is my new Andrés Cabas. ashamed

My niece just gave me one of his books, Lamb: The gospel according to Biff. She loved it and she said it was one of the funniest books she's ever read. Something about Biff being Jesus's childhood buddy or something. I started reading it but had to stop 'cause I'm going through an Isabel Allende readathon right now. ashamed

UGH!!! see, i am RIGHT! w00t.gif

Asimismo, se sabe que las famosas lágrimas de cocodrilo son una secreción acuosa que mantiene húmedos los ojos del animal, fuera del agua, pero no tienen nada que ver con el llanto, debido a que las glándulas salivales y las lacrimales de este animal están situadas muy cerca unas de las otras y por eso, se estimulan constantemente, lo que hace que al animal mientras llore mientras come.

Todo esto, sumado a la fantasía popular sirvió para dar origen a la expresión lágrimas de cocodrilo, con la que se alude al dolor fingido de alguien ante cualquier suceso desgraciado, dolor que no es tomado en serio por ninguna de las personas que lo contemplan.



Y si no entendes es espanish, aqui esta en ingles

Big girls don't cry!

Yes it does! rage.gif
When a Croc eats a lot, say... a large animal, it cries because it's stomach cramps, not because it feels bad about eating the animal. Hence: "Lagrimas de cocodrilo" Capishe, cocodrilo?

 it will make you cry at the injustice of modern day society.... it will make you shed a tear at the forbidden love part and it will make you cry at how cruel they are to the poor untouchable cry.gif
Trust me, its an awesome book.

I read Five People not too long ago, and for me, it was super girly... like a chick book. it was alllllllllllright. Nothing spectacular.

So Chaletunga, i got the book you suggested. God of small things. BUT i also received another one that i requested : The five people you meet in heaven.

Why is it that when i finally get my hands on the book, all of a sudden everyone wants to read it?!!
I have EXACTLY 2 weeks to read both books before i bring it back to the library. Why are people such copiers for?!! crying.gif


Thus Chaletica, i'm not sure if i'll have time to read God of small things just yet. I really want to read The five people you meet in heaven first.


I just finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie. What a beautiful story that is. Really puts into perspective the importance of not taking everything, even the smallest things in life, for granted.

Speaking of evil books, there's a book with a sign "Up for grabs" in the kitchen in my office. It's called "The Devil's Dominion: a complete story of hell and satanism in the modern world." I guess there's a reason nobody wants it. fear.gif

Hey Chale if you find the coins of Juadas lended to me... I can't find it anywhere.....



If any of you actually finishes reading the friggin' coins of Judas, could you let me know what happens? I was scared s hitless, but I'd still like to know if the guy went back to normal or became Satan's assistant in hell.

@ Pogo: I could've sold you a copy of Pillars of the Earth... I got TWO copies from my good friend in Chicago... no.gif  Oh, and I haven't read any of them. ashamed
