Batman and Superman: the Sandy Corolla trailer

Now that the Superman / Batman film has been announced for all those out there surely the wait will be a long one. Fret not since in the meantime you should check those productions called fan films. Fans all over the world would like to see their own vision of what should happen to this or that character and some are serious about it and some even invest money to produce those films. Of course having a limited budget is a problem and also not having the commercial rights to make money out of that are big  deterrents. 
One of those fans is independent filmmaker Sandy Collora, a New Yorker who produced Batman: Dead End in 2003 putting Batman against the likes of the xenomorph aliens of Aliens and also the extraterrestrial hunters known as the Predators. The success back then was instantaneous.
World´s Finest, produced in 2004, is a trailer for a movie that has never been made that unites Superman and Batman against the common threat of Luthor and Two Face. Bruce Wayne has arrived in Metropolis, but what is his secret agenda? Luthorcorp and Wayne Industries are collaborating, but what is behind that move?  Superman has a lot of questions but Batman remains in his usual secretive mode while the bad guys make moves of their own.

What are LAS TRES MARÍAS called in English?

Image
(Left to right:  Alnitak ,  Alnilam  and  Mintaka )  The TRES MARIAS is this group of three bright stars that are apparently at the same distance from one another though in reality none is at the same distance. They are called like that in most of Latin America and apparently they are called the THREE KINGS (the Magi) in the Philippine Islands. The TRES MARIAS after whom those stars are named are Mary, mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene and Mary, the wife of Clopas (probably a relative of Jesus's). To find them in the sky means you are also looking at the constellation of Orion (the Warrior), to be more precise, its belt because that is precisely what the TRES MARIAS are called in English: Orion's Belt.

The Maps of Ship-Trap Island

Image
Once I had my high school students read The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell. Rainsford, the main character, is a professional hunter traveling by ship to his next hunting area, accidentally ends up in an island called Ship- Trap island. When he goes into the island he finds there are two men living in a palace in the island. One of them is a Cossack general and the other, his brutish servant.  The Cossack is called general Zaroff who is also  a game hunter but has become bored of hunting regular game and now uses the island's unique position to capture sailors from shipwrecks. He lets them go first and next after some time he hunts them down. Rainford's arrival who is worldwide famous presents Zaroff with a rare opportunity to find excitement in hunting again by hunting another hunter. Little does Zaroff know that Rainsford is The Most Dangerous Game in the World and hunting him will not be easy at all. My students enjoyed themselves at reading

How do you say NACIMIENTO NAVIDEÑO in English?

Image
"Oh no! Not another power blackout!"             NACIMIENTO NAVIDEÑO or PESEBRE NAVIDEÑO is a tradition which consists in recreating the moment of Jesus Christ's birth with small figures representing Joseph, Mary, the shepherds and the Wise Kings. Baby Jesus is set on December 25th of course, while the other figures are placed before, usually at the beginning of December.       The translation is NATIVITY SCENE, though some people only say CHRISTMAS SCENE. This last term is a bit broad -- even an image of Santa Claus riding his sleigh falls under that description. Saying CHRISTMAS NATIVITY SCENE would be perhaps more appropriate.                                                                                        Merry Christmas!
