This Friday we were planning to have a Spanish Language Movie Friday. so Post your favorite publicly posted or pirately hosted movie for Cytube Fridays, some restrictions will be that the movie you nominate must be made in Latam

this Friday its going to be a double Feature so that mean that the 1st and 2nd most voted movies will be the ones we watch

Movies usually play 08:00am & 8:00pm Central Time Cytube is a finicky beast and usually accepts Youtube, Vimeo, Daily Motion, GoogleDrive(requires plug-ins, ez pz)and occasionally others if it feels charitable that day. Here’s the manual

This Special Movie friday is from an Idea we had where the first Friday of each month will be a comm specific movie friday, this month being c/latam.

and The 2 winners are:

  • Motorcycle diaries: "The Motorcycle Diaries" is based on the journals of Che Guevara, leader of the Cuban Revolution. In his memoirs, Guevara recounts adventures he, and best friend Alberto Granado, had while crossing South America by motorcycle in the early 1950s. :che-poggers:

  • Machuca: Two 12-year-old Chilean children from different social classes become friends in 1973. They both discover each other's world as political tensions in their country increase. :allende-rhetoric:

        But surinamians speak fucking Dutch!

        Yes of course, history is homologous in all south and central america, and that's more important than which European empire colonized each land. It's infuriating being so atomized.

        Yes, dutch- and english-speaking places are not strictly "latin", but I really don't care because I say "latin america" as proxy for "south and central america" where all countries have homologous histories, and troubles and material conditions and shit.
