As i say, it's pure pretentiousness. You don't see folk insisting on calling Die Hard 4 'Live Free Or Die Hard' just because that's its US title. | I think it generally comes down to laziness,ie whichever one has less syllables. |

| Re: El Orfanato I enjoyed it (uneasy bladder {don't worry, lambs, it held} aside).
Critic or student, I don't know, but an amazing mind, sitting behind me, was helpfully opining on the relative prudence of the characters' actions; was able to predict unpleasant or suprising moments, by interpreting clues from music, expressions etc. the audience, without insider knowledge, was oblivious to. Was proven right almost immediately thereafter more than once.

| Re: El Orfanato (The Orphanage) Probably had already downloaded it OFF THE INTERNET, seen it and just wanted to act smart and impress folk. The plan clearly worked.

| Re: El Orfanato (The Orphanage) Yer erse, if it's out, it's available. In fact, it came out in Spain like 6 months ago, so I reckon it'll be out there somewhere.
Alternatively, my explanation still works if the person had simply already seen it in the pictures, but kept this info to themselves in order to appear knowledgeable.

There's sites like vcdquality that keep track of all the pirate releases out. |

| Re: El Orfanato (The Orphanage) I think perhaps Justine has been misunderstood.

| Re: El Orfanato (The Orphanage) In retrospect, my interpretation may have been rather on the glib side.
