Hi, all, Mike in Barcelona said: <<There's a big controversy here in Catalonia because Warner Bros refuse to dub it into Catalan despite the Catalan Government's offer to pay for it.>>
Huh? Why on earth would the WB give a poop one way or the other, especially since it would have (a) been a free deal for them and (b) it would have made the movie accessible to more people. Would the Spanish government have had something to do with this? (I don't remember, Mike, whether you speicifed whether it was the Spanish or Catalonian government [does such exist, say, as a provincial entity?] that offered to pay for it.) It just doesn't make sense to me. At least here in the U.S., one doesn't hear much about Catalonian separatism, and I've heard *nothing* about any Catalonian terrorism (as opposed to a certain *other* ethnic group that straddles the French/Spanish borders). Confused and curious, as ever, walt
