I find that my taste for them differ as I see more of them. <BR/><BR/>Telenovellas I could never really get into except for one, it was called "Betrayal" and did not feature the most famous actors but I liked the story and stuck with it for a year (thank God that telenovellas end, eventually)I loyally watched every single episode 5 days a week and was very satisfied with the ending. <BR/><BR/>My paternal grandmother was hooked on one called Marimar (which was not very good). <BR/><BR/>I much much prefer South Korean melodramas since they usually have GREAT acting. <BR/><BR/>Hahahaaaa I tend to like British films very much and consider them very emotional (repressed emotions are sometimes the strongest :) )eliza bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997101330508195099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-20699705155222596152009-03-29T00:19:00.000-07:002009-03-29T00:19:00.000-07:00ajnabi - Arghhh, I am DYING for more telenovelas. ...ajnabi - Arghhh, I am DYING for more telenovelas. In the meantime, I have eased the pain by getting a Mexican movie last time I was in the US. Phew!<BR/><BR/>JJC - I often quite like well-made short films (e.g. Nanni Moretti's The Son's Room), but I usually like longer films more. There's just... more to like!<BR/><BR/>Beth - Gasp, I HAVE, and I LOVED it! El Generalissimo! Once you've finished scratching your lottery tickets, let's go to McDonald's and just get coffee.<BR/><BR/>Banno - :( Surely some must be online?<BR/><BR/>gebruss - Ha! Eddie Izzard has quite a funny monologue about British films: "A room with a view of a pond by a hill." And then he talks about Hollywood remaking those British films: "A room with a view OF HELL!" "Staircase OF SATAN!" "Pond OF DEATH!"a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-35464979861301465642009-03-28T02:35:00.000-07:002009-03-28T02:35:00.000-07:00It has been ages since I saw a telenovela, but I r...It has been ages since I saw a telenovela, but I remember them as good fun and so different from what I was used to watch.<BR/><BR/>The demanond for more emotions in British movies made me laugh. Though the might investigate in a method to share the appropriate response to any disaster (on any scale) with the viewer: offering you a nice strong cup of tea (with sugar (even if you don't usually take it) if it was a really soul shattering experience).gebrusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449996937991587866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-21142174922657094512009-03-27T19:43:00.000-07:002009-03-27T19:43:00.000-07:00Yes, yes, we love it all, too!

Really, all the emotionalism and weeping and throwing things and passionate stomping of feet while dialogue is hissed frantically... All very good prep for Bollywood.<BR/><BR/>What is this "sex" of which you speak?
