Hey hey!! I've made changes to the wedding area of the site. I added the important info (who, when, where). I'm planning on adding a few interactive items as we get closer to the date. I actually have some more info forthcoming, but I need to verify it before it goes up on the site.As for everything else; I'm still looking for any funny pics, links and mail that you all come across in your travels on the net. I alphabetized the pics and links areas to make them more easy to navigate. I've got some more ideas that will be going up in the next few weeks as I get more time to work on them. I think it'll be fun, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Quick movie review:
For those of you into creepy atmospheric movies you should definitely check out "The Devil's Backbone"(2001); written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, who most recently directed "Blade II" (2002) and previously directed "Mimic" (1997). It is set in an all boys orphanage in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. The orphanage is old and has many memories both good and bad and there are a lot of secrets hidden it's halls. In the center of the dusty courtyard is an unexploded bomb that fell and was never removed. They say it's disarmed but many of boys don't believe it. It is the proverbial center of the story and serves as a reminder to all who pass by of the closeness of the war. The primary protagonist is a young orphan boy named Carlos, who, at the beginning of the film, is left there by his guardian who is fighting on the side of the rebels. Carlos finds out very quickly that there is something sinister going on at the orphanage when he sees the ghost of a young boy. He starts to investigate and soon finds himself embroiled in a story of tragedy. Who is this ghost? What happened to the boy who's bed Carlos now sleeps in? I can't tell you much more as it would spoil the twists and turns. Guillermo del Toro weaves a fascinating visual tapestry that draws you in and makes you feel the uneasiness that antagonizes and drives his characters. Great for a weekend scary movie. I even jumped at a few parts and I rarely do that!
Hasta la bye bye!
