Festival de Cinema de Sitges 2007, or the beginning of a neural massacre

After too much days without internet connection at home (I hate Ono!! :@), I'm at laboratory where I'm working (or doing something like work XD) for writing about the most cinematic geek event of the year in Catalonia: the Festival de Cinema de Sitges 2007!!

For those who don't know about this festival, as in the last 40 years (40!!), during 10 days (from October 4th until October 14th) you can see in Sitges a collection of movies of diverse genres: terror, fantastic, animation... these movies are from a lot of countries, but for me, the asian ones are the most important (because these movies from China, Japan, Corea... will never be released in normal cinema teaser, at least in Catalonia ---except a little bit of exceptions---).

Well, you can see the projection schedule at this link: www.cinemasitges.com; however, now I'll show you the movie series I will see this year; be prepared, there are 20 sessions!!! And I'm already bought the tickets :)
