Steph Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I was looking for information about Canicas tequila when I ran across a mention of a film which appears to be about a marble champion. I would still like to know if those are actually marbles in the bottom of the Canicas bottle, but I thought the movie looked interesting too. A couple of reviews: "Zurdo": Sueños infantiles para Salces, ahora en largometraje El cineasta mexicano Carlos Salces debuta en el terreno del largometraje, tras varios premios internacionales con sus cortos "En el espejo del cielo" y "Las olas del tiempo", con "Zurdo", una historia entre la realidad y la fantasía siempre con protagonista infantil, esta vez un niño residente en el pueblo de Buenaventura al que todos consideran el mejor jugador de canicas del mundo. Zurdo brings the concept of a square world seen through the eyes of a round ¨canica¨ sets the stage for a marvelous movie made both for kids and adults. Set in an imaginary Mexican small town, and through he eyes of a young and innocent kid who has to play tough to survive in a tough reality, this movie is fantastic both in it's making and for the social message it carries. When street games where the life of children and not techno, computer games...... Highly recommended for all the family.

spara50 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I bought the Zurdo movie a few years ago. There is a subtitled DVD available to buy, I think I got mine on eBay. It's a GREAT movie with a marble tournament as it's theme. The final climatic scene is between this kid and the champ from another town. Lot's of great marble shooting going on.

Pinx Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hope there's a disclaimer on that tequila bottle, "Risk of choking. Not to be used by children under three" Elizabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword44 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think that in the fine print on the bottle it suggests that the tequila should first be decanted before serving to children under three. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delkins Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've heard that if you eat the marble, you'll hallucinate. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatmacscott Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 And if you do eat the marble, it too shall pass just as the rest of the bad puns :-) Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 So, may I conclude that everyone is saying yes on those being marbles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
