The best thing was that the telenovela was just one big lesson...don't get into the drug world it's not worth the risk. Even "El Titi" the second biggest drug dealer in Colombia go caught, and when Catalina's prepago friends didn't have dealers to sleep with they had to be prostitutes at a strip/dance/happy ending club. they did great at really showing the negatives of the drug game, it's just unfortunate that some of the situations probably happen in real life.Christian Penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419317421346711588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435768389238007524.post-5872589481271583062011-02-28T21:39:36.655-05:002011-02-28T21:39:36.655-05:00I agree with much of what you say in your post. Am...I agree with much of what you say in your post. American consumers neither know nor care about the consquences of our consumer choices. Not only is it a sad reality that many women are forced into prostitution, but many of them are merely children yearning for a way out of poverty. In the United States, I feel as if our media has failed us. Mass media has become a tool of large corporations. It is no longer a place where one can find truth and reality, but merely a mirage of sorts--full of false images and blurred fantasy.Sequoia Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408464273143812530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435768389238007524.post-17094397009227286322011-02-21T12:15:39.508-05:002011-02-21T12:15:39.508-05:00Hiya Dusty.
So I was looking on Internet Movie Da...Hiya Dusty.<br /><br />So I was looking on Internet Movie Database to find out about the actor who plays Martin, the protagonist in El Cartel, the telenovela I'm watching. The actor's name is Manolo Cardona.. As I was scrolling through his other works, I saw him also credited in Sin Tetas...<br /><br />It says he played Martín La Roca in 15 episodes. (Another Martin!) I would love to know what his character is like in your telenovela. Is he a bad guy? A good guy? Neither?<br /><br />In mine, he's got an incredible vulnerability and genuineness that viewers automatically are drawn to... and although he wears these ridiculous guido-esque outfits, I can't help but kinda love him a little what? Regardless, top notch guy, just trying to do what's best. <br /><br />(Also, he's got a wicked twitch in one of his eyes. Can you tell me if you notice that too? I want to know if it's actually a Manolo thing or just an act for the part, haha. Let me know when you get to him! Thanks!)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596345944210252473noreply@blogger.com
