Somebody did the opposite. He or she redirected Julio Jiménez (writer) to Julio Jimenez (writer). It should be the opposite. --Pablo E$cobar (talk) 23:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Telemundo Has For Years Supplied Closed Captions for Telenovelas

Apparently there is a misleading statement in the article where it says, "People who could not even speak Spanish watched without subtitles and declared to have loved the telenovela." For Telemundo is famous for putting out telenovelas with both Spanish (CC 1) and English (CC 3) captions. Technically speaking, captions are not subtitles, using different technologies and having different purposes. The basic purpose of captions is to provide a written version of the sound track (including dialog) for deaf persons. Subtitles, on the other hand, are basically for persons who hear, but don't know the language. Thus with captions one expects a report on the sound effects, like "birds chirping" or "thunderclap." With subtitles the viewer is expected to appreciate the sound track, aside from the foreign language words. So subtitles give a translation in another language. But persons who don't know Spanish (but know English), want the English words on the screen, whether via captions or subtitles. And Telemundo has for many years now provided both Spanish and English captions for its viewers. To be sure in past years there have been days when Telemundo failed to broadcast the captions, probably because of technical problems. At any rate, methinks this statement is misleading and that for most of ECDD, there were English captions available. (EnochBethany (talk) 06:37, 27 February 2013 (UTC))[reply]

The nature of Julio Jimenez’s writing

No Cell Phones?

I have seen much of two of JJ's telenovelas, La Viuda de Blanco & El Cuerpo del Deseo. I don't recall ever seeing a cell phone used in them. Does he always do this? Leave out cell phones? I like that myself, because IMHO cell phones are often used in a very annoying & Deux ex machina way in telenovelas.

Ad Nauseum Repetitions?

In LVdB, the story features like 5-fold repetitions of what we already saw, by flashback, by minor characters rehearsing things. For example, suppose the Seborrhea falls off a horse while kissng Itatí. Next we see 2 minor character sitting in an outdoor cafe, one says to the other: "You know, Seb fell off a horse while kissing Cantoral." They may go on & on about it. Then a servant at the Finca phones Dona Perfecta: "Guess what, Dona, your son Seb fell off a horse." DP tells Seb's sister, "Seb fell off a horse." Cerubin and Blasina yack on & on about how Seb fell off a horse. The mayor disgusts it with the bar owner: "Seb fell off a horse; we need new laws on horse-riding." Blah blah. El Cuerpo is not as bad (IMHO), but there also, actions lead to verbal repetitions among characters. Apparently some like this style. For me it means, hit the jump button or fast-forward.
