Car Hire and Rental in Sitges

Sitge is a very small town and so a car is not essential to get to where you need to go. However if you plan on taking in some of the beautiful sights of the surrounding Garaff National Park, Monserrat or the Torres Vineyards…. or heading into Barcelona a few times, then we recommend a Car. Yes the trains are great, but to really explore the area a car is your best option.

You can now search, find and book the best car deals around with Gay Sitges Guide’s booking engine. Our system searches all of the major car rental companies to get you the best deal. Search for your car hire deal here.

Cine Cafe Presents – Superman 2

Superman 2

Many of you may have seen Superman 2 many times before – either on the big screen or at home. But how many of you know about its very troubled history. Originally large parts of Superman 2 were filmed back to back with the first film, by the same director, Richard Donner. However, after disagreements with the producers, Donner was fired before the second movie was finished and Richard Lester was bought in.

In “geek” mythology the Donner Cut of Superman 2 was like a holy grail, often talked about thought out of reach and never to be seen. Now thanks to DVD sales, Warner Bros. financed the finishing of this alternate version of the movie and Cine Cafe have it for you this week, on Saturday.

Its a very different film with a completely different opening (no bomb on the Eiffel Tower) and a vastly different ending. Come and judge for yourself if you think the producers made the right choice 28 years ago!!!
