Dedos olor a taco....

There is something about this taco stand near my home that just intrigues me. The place is delicious, and the tacos are awesome. Yet I trully fear that deliciousness is related to some messed up ingredient, that not only brings joy to my mouth, but as well a scent that lasts well over night to my fingers, and a weird breath. (Victor's girl always knows if he ate tacos the night before.... yuk!).

When I told the owner that my brother and I swore they were up to something, and the tacos had some magical ingredient, he just said: - solo carnita de la buena jefe, de muy buena calidad desde el primer dia!. (just good meat, prime quality since day one).... Hmmmm... I really did ask, and he really did say that... Still, the was that ackward silence afterwards you know?. The meat is really good, and so are the salsas, and I don't fear it could be like dog's meat or whatnot... (I don't think I would super care)... I fear about some other weird ingredient...

Hmmmm.... thinking... thinking...

Anyway... those tacos happened well after the movie. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. This is one of those love it or hate it movies. I really like going to those because often times I will be of the ones that love them, good cinema is not for the masses, right?. He he he, I have gotten horrible disapointments too though!, yet that has happened the least of times.

People will complain that the movie looks grainy, or blurry, or unsharp. That the characters behave in naive ways, the editing, whatnot. What they don't get is that it's supposed to be like that!. The movie is a homage to the movies of the 40's. It has the look of being recorded on black and white film, a long time ago, and then colored on top a long time ago too!. The backgrounds, the clothing, the cars, and all the science fiction, is from those days. And I really liked it!.

The characters behave just like the character's from those old movies. The brave hero, the femme fatale, etc, etc. And to be honest, the story is decent too. Not great, but good enough. I was just thrilled all the time by looking at the photography.

... There was this guy on the back row though... Argh!!... He kept saying out loud that it was boring, etc... Where is my bat when I need it!?!?!...

And thinking about it... yesterday was like a movie day!... He he he. Because in the break we saw Zoolander, I had not seen it. And in case you haven't either, take my word: if you want some silly laughing time, like huge laughs, give it a try. :-D

CHEERS!!!!...

So you recommend Sky Captain for sure? Hmm too bad I'll have to wait for the DVD now :-(

I'm tempted to watch Zoolander too, but for different reasons. I want to know why everyone calls my cell the "Zoolander phone"...

He he he... Now I am curious too. I have a theory, but don't want to spoil it to you!.

Hmmm... Sky Captain, nice movie. Great photography, totally retro look and feel, story and acting. I think you should give it a try, not buying it though. See how you like it first.

Hmm..now what theory is that? you have left me curious.

They tell me that my phone is rather small (i love it because it fits in the pocket of the most formfitting jeans) and that is why...but I still have to see Zoolander...

Some day, some day.

The way you describe it, i think i'd probably love the movie...too bad I waited too long. I don't think i can see it in the movie theater anymore:-(

Mishka, I meant the other movie...
