Last night I ended up going out for the gig with F. which was good fun. They’re called Los Fancy Free and involved new wavey dance punk songs. They sound better live than the tracks they stream from their site, but all in all it was a laugh. I’ve not seen that level of showmanship in a frontman in a while…
Today I started off watching ‘The Saint and Blue Demon Vs. The Monsters’ (mini-review to the right) which was my first Santo film. I’m going to have to watch more and there’s over 40 of them. What else? Well we drove over to Chapalita’s art market where people come to sell their paintings on Sundays, which was pleasant after that Home Depot to pick up a grill and some plants. then home. Ooh, and I defrosted the freezer so the front lawn was covered with snow for a while which looked a tad incongruous.
That’s hilarious, how come you have to watch all the Santo’s movies? you see one and you know what the other 39 are about.. It’s cool that you want to learn about the real Mexican culture, you’re doing it the proper way =)
Hi Cuquis,
I don’t really have to watch them all, but from what I’ve seen they’re brilliant and I’m going to make the effort. I’ve also been recommended Los Polivoces as part of my crash course on Mexican culture, te suena? I love the way the Santo movies are named too: Santo contra los ????, If only they’d done the same with the James Bond films we’d be able to tell them apart. Bond versus Christopher Walken would be View to a Kill, Bond versus the rogue agent- Goldeneye, etc… I’m also working my way through Jorge Negrete and Cantinflas films. Mexican cinema ROCKS! 🙂 Thanks for commenting and I enjoyed your new non-panda photos from SD zoo 🙂
I think Cantinflas and Los Polivoces are great..but Cantinflas movies are the best..he was so talented.. If you understand Cantinflas then you are a master in Mexican Spanish. Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante movies are classic too. Looking forward to reading your reviews =)
