Something from Portugal...
I have a little game here for all of you LOEG fans out there.
Here's a review written in a portuguese magazine:
quote:
LXG, como é conhecido em termos de marketing, não é mais do que um emaranhado de cenas de acção confusas, efeitos visuais de discutível qualidade e um sentido de aventuras entravado. Chega a ser incrível como se torna rapidamente caduco...
Guess what this review says! 
(I bet Clara won't have a clue!)
p.s. I just flipped through the pages of the translated version of the LXG novelization. Some genius over here decided to spell Quatermain Q-U-A-R-T-M-A-R (this final R is pronounced in the usual way all final Rs are pronounced in romance tongues)

In short, it says "esta peli es un pestiño" or in english: "The film sucks"

I have no idea. I lost my anti-cheating device to him in a poker game...

Well, I can't speak portuguese (due mainly to the fact that I haven't studied the language), so I must say that, in my case, the stereotype is right,
at this particular point...
(can't really tell about the rest of the stereotype, ahem...)

Re: Something from Portugal...
Speaking from a insular little island like I do.Most british tend to look on in bemusement where Continental languages are concerned .It seems strange that another country can be literally over the street and yet they speak a different language.
Especially as English is a mix and match of a assortment of European languages.

Mixed
True... Gaels, saxons, norsemen... and the latin influence as well.
Here we have also a nice mix: based in pre-roman languages, with a sound latin cover and plenty of arabian elements.

Wrong... They speak *American*... none of that snotty-posh tea-and-crumpets "Oh, bother" *English* stuff... and if they don't, then they should. 
And if they won't, we'll probably bomb them.
