Reviews

In 1943 the Cuban actress and rumbera María Antonieta Pons had a greater advantage in her budding career by starring in a film with Pedro Armendáriz, a leading figure of the Mexican Cinema. The director was Alejandro Galindo. The actress was fully, having crossed the barrier of the Rumberas, which at that time only put as musical complement in movies. She was considered a good actress, with capacity for melodrama.[2]

gollark: I know, it's ridiculous, they should have socketed memory chips on the DIMMs.
gollark: I also can't get Linux to recognize the existence of the power button, but that's not a huge issue.
gollark: The display can rotate 180 degrees because of a neat hinge mechanism, but it also has a TN panel which is barely viewable 45 degrees off the right angle.
gollark: There are access panels on the bottom for the RAM and disk, suggesting they wanted to make it easy to maintain, but it also has some bizarre plastic clip things which are very annoying to remove.
gollark: Only one DIMM is soldered, there's an empty slot, it is very weird.
