Members Matt P. Posted October 4, 2007 Members Share Posted October 4, 2007 When I lived in The Spanish Harlem of NYC in 2006, I was addicted to Telemundo's telenovelas. Even though I couldn't understand the words, I enjoyed La Tormenta, Tierre de Passiones, and my favorite was of course Amores de Mercado. I loved Paola Rey and Michel Brown. They were such a hot supercouple. Plus the villains Monica and the bad ass Fernando Leyra. The show I also enjoyed was Decessiones which I could see why it was on so late because it was almost like watching porn! One episode had a husband posing as a porn star for an obsessed female photographer. I miss Telemondo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 OK, I tried to transcribe the dialogue from that scene with Hector and Rubí, one of my favourite scenes ever! Here it goes, possibly with some spelling mistakes and some parts missing: HECTOR: ... Como para inventar que por mi culpa perdió... Pero tarde o temprano, todo se paga en esta vida! RUBÍ: No vas a poder probar lo que dices! Has tu vida y deja me en paz! HECTOR: Tu no te vas de ninguna parte! RUBÍ: Suelta me, estúpido! HECTOR: Rubí! HECTOR: ... RUBÍ: Suelta me! HECTOR: Tu disfrazaste mi vida: la felicidad que pude haber tenido con Maribél, la amistad con Alejandro! Y yo fue un imbécil que siempre estuvo cegado por tu amor! ... mi orgullo, me lastimaste y aguante todo! Todo y para que? Para lograr que tu un día me amaras! RUBÍ: Porque crees que te escogí a ti? Porque sabia que podía manejarte como se me diera la gana! Porque nunca has sido mas que un pobre imbécil con dinero! HECTOR: Aprovechaste de que te amaba tanto! ... mi vida por ti! Yo solo quería ser te feliz! RUBÍ: Lo podrías haber echo si tanto solo me hubieras dado todo tu dinero y me hubieras dejado en paz! Tu crees que yo podía respetar a un hombre que deja plantada en el altar a otra, que es capaz de traicionar a su mejor amigo? HECTOR: Todo lo hice por ti! RUBÍ: Eres un mediocre que se conformo con las migajas de aprecio que yo le daba mientras que por otro lado disfrutaba de el amor y la pasión de un verdadero hombre! HECTOR: Calla te, estúpida! Por fin te veo tal y como eres y me repugnas! Eres una basura! RUBÍ: No, Hector, estas muy equivocado! Todas las mujeres darían lo que fue para tener mi belleza y mi carácter! Y cualquier hombre, escucha lo bien, cualquier hombre daría su vida por mi! Si no me crees, mira te, mira hasta donde fuiste capaz de llegar por mi! HECTOR: Me das asco, Rubí! Nunca vas a poder ser feliz, nunca! Porque ya ni si quiera tienes el amor de Alejandro! El ama a Maribél! Y lo único que el siente por ti es lastima! RUBÍ: No es cierto! HECTOR: Si, es cierto! ... Y ahora que Alejandro sepan lo que le hiciste, te va a despreciar tanto como yo porque te voy a desenmascarar ante el. RUBÍ: Tu no me llevas a ningún lado! HECTOR: ... de todo el mal que as hecho. RUBÍ: No me arrepiento de nada. Lo volvería a hacer! No solo contigo, sino con todos! Tu crees que no me divierto viendo como puedo manejar a la gente a mi antojo! Y digas lo que digas, nadie te va a creer! HECTOR: Yo te voy a desenmascara delante de todos! Y con el primer que vamos a ir es con Alejandro para que de una vez te conozca tal y como eres!

Members dm. Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 The fact that I can translate more than half of that text Sylph wrote means that even though I haven't watched a telenovela in years, I still got it. However, I would NEVER watch another telenovela again. There isn't a person or a storyline good enough to bring me back to that. But in my past, I had my share of telenovelas.... Lazos de Amor, The Guilt, Pobre Nina Rica, Marisol, Esmeralda, La Jaula De Oro, La Mentira, La Usurpadora, Preciosa, Vivo por Elena, Muneca Brava, Laberintos de Pasion, Por Tu Amor, Nunca te Olvidare, Mi Destino Eres Tu, Siempre te Amare, El Manantial, Entre el amor y el odio, Un Nuevo Amor, Amar Otra Vez, Piel de Otono... and that's where I stopped. And now I can't believe I ever had the need to watch those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted July 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 Rubi's shocking confession ! Again, embedding doesn't work for me : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG25SN06uyE&NR=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 ^^^ Just copy the embedding code into your post and change "HTML Off" to "HTML On - Auto Line Breaking" and it should work. My Spanish isn't fluent or very incredible (all I got is what I learned in high school), so I need captions, but I can keep up for the most part with what's going on. Two or three days a week, I catch Univision's "Palabra de mujer" (with the kickass theme song) in the daytime and "Fuego en la Sangre" in primetime. "Fuego en la Sangre" in English means "Fire in the Blood," and that is just a spectacular title for any soap in any language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yes, that worked perfectly for me until a few days ago when it never embeds the video, but makes a mess of a webpage. I don't know what happened. Maybe it's my browser or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 I'm usually a Univision watcher. But not watching "Fuego en la Sangre" instead I watch "Victoria" on Telemundo at 8 pm. I do watch "Al Diablo al los Goupos" which comes on right before FELS. I think it translates to "The Hunks can go to hell"...LOL...or the Hunks are the devil...LOL. I love the soap opera. One of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 I watch Al Diablo every now and then, too. I watched it more before FELS came on though, because I didn't watch "Pasion," so I used Al Diablo to get my telenovela fix, but now that I'm watching FELS, I think I'd go through Spanish language overload if I watch them both lol. I liked Al Diablo, though...I might check it out tonight. The one character I could NEVER stand, though, was Milli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 OMG, Fuego en la Sangre is SO bad The characters are supposed to be in their late 30's, but they all act as teenagers. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I currently watch a Brazilian telenovela called "Duas Caras" (Two Faces). Here is the synopsis if anyone is interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duas_Caras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 I love the lead male character of Al Diablo...the guy is such a hunk...LOL. I never liked "Pasion". I thought it was an awful soap opera. I still think spanish soaps have better writing and production values than do the american soaps. Univision has even beaten the the big 4 networks in primetime. The night of the Daytime Emmys....Univision had more viewers than ABC did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 Psh, FELS is brilliant. It blows "Masterpiece Theatre" out of the water, thankyouverrymuch. :P (yeah, it's garbage, but I loves it lol) The guy IS hot, that's why I hate Milli lol. As for "Pasion," I don't really go for the heavily romanticized, fairy tale-ish historical telenovelas. They just seem so...I don't know the word...ooobvious, you know? Stereotypes are magnified like a hundred percent in those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 On in Al Diablo...I love the gay butler....The scenes with him flirting with bf of his boss daughter is so hilarious. The butler reminds me of Henry from ATWT. It pisses me off that they didnt make Henry gay. I loved the scene where the butler fantasized about toweling the hot bf...LOL.

Members Soapsuds Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 I watched the beginning of FELS. But I was already watching "Victoria". So I stopped watching. I might pick it back up once "Victoria" is over in late July. I still like Al Diablo more than any soap out right now. Yup...the guy is hot. He name slips my mind...real name and character name....Milli is one lucky beyotch...LOL. I also hate Pasion because it was an old fashion soap about the past...historical...I dont go for those kind of soaps either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
