Festivaleros: Myself

So, on.. er... Thursday? Was it thursday? Yeaah... I think so.
Anyway, that day I woke up a bit later, because I knew I wasn't going to be able to do it in some days, cleant my room, got a shower and ran to my folk's place, to have lunch with them and see Esther and Jordi, who I hadn't seen in a long time.

Then, I ran to Sitges ( I seem to be always running), because I left my ticket at home and had to ran to get to the train in time, and then I had to get to the cinema in time... Just to arrive there and discover the film was going to be a bit late.

The film in question was Tokyo!, a compilation of three stories around the city, each weirder than the previous one. It was a nice watching and a thrilling experience.

( TRYING NOT TO SPOIL THE FILM FOR THE ONES INTERESTED )
All in all, a good film. One of the best of the festival, at least at a technical level.
I would recomend that one to nearly anyone who doesn't dislike a little weird on their films.

Also, before the film, they gave an honorary award to the woman who played Nova on THE PLANET OF THE APES. She was a beautiful (really beautiful) 61 year old woman and rather nice too. And his translator was one of the most profesional translators I've ever seen at Sitges. He translated her words one by one instead of inventing them.

Then I walked a bit, made rather beautiful pics and, finally, wnet to watch some amateur short films at the Brigdoon section. It was really funny and geekish. Afterwards, really late, I went home. I arrived just in time for watching CQC. It was a nice day,

I.. mmm... I'm not really sure what I did on friday morning... Oh, yes! I met mónica and had a coffee and some nice chat and bought some birthday presents. Then I got home, had lunch and watched SE LO QUE HICISTEIS and rushed to Sants.
There, I met Mónica again, and David, and we went to Sitges to watch 20 CENTURY BOYS.



The film, based on a manga by the same name, it's really, really nice. Perhaps it's not the best performed film of the year, and the direction is simple and classical, but it's a really good adaptation from the manga and the characters are so alike it's scary. The story is really interesting and as the climax approaches you have completely forgot about bad actors. All that matered was the stoy unfolding in front of you. Sadly, as the film was longer than we thought, we had to leave before it ended and we couldn't watch the giant robot, neither the big cliffhanger.

Then I had supper with some friends and went to sleep rather late.

Oh, it was also the day of the ZOMBIE WALK, but we had to queu and I got tosee very few of it.
it must have been great, though. And it was funny to see the zombies acting normal afterwards. Make up was really impresive.

Wow. What a day.
I woke up early to go to sitges to watch PONYO ON THE CLIFF BY THE SEA, the last of Miyazaki's films. It's so sonderful and soothing to watch a film were everything is beautiful and everything is good and cute...

( again, spoilers )

Afterwards, I bought my ticket to the Zombie Marathon (yes! I found tickets in the end!) and went home. I had lunch, slept a bit and, with Olga, María and Mar headed to Sitges again, this time to face the big end.

We had supper and some laughs, drank lots of caffeine and queued a bit so we could get some nice seats in teh thater. There were going to be seven hours on a row.

( not only spoilers, but lotta films and shorts )

Then we got home and you know the rest already (or you can read a pair of entries back to find out).

It's been a great week in spite of everything and I enjoyed every minute of it.
And now I'm finally done explaining everything and once all teh pics had been posted in Picassa I'll be finally done ^_~
