Reception
The film was the leader at the Spanish box office in 1959.[2]
gollark: Bulldozer was kind of bad.

gollark: 2012 would be... Sandy Bridge or so, so newer CPUs will basically just be more cores and slightly higher single-thread performance.
gollark: You can get both pretty easily if you just get a somewhat better GPU than you would for a productivity-only setup.
gollark: And I say "well" kind of loosely.
