Ver películas de zombis me da dolor de cabeza

I get a headache when I watch zombie movies.

Please correct my English and Spanish - Vaanz, Dec 29, 2010

Stop watching them Vaanz. Great , thanks. - ray76, Dec 29, 2010

Grammatically is good, but "Conseguir" and "mirar" are not the more appropriate verbs. We would say 'Ver películas de zombis me da/levanta dolor de cabeza' Hi, Vaanz! - cogumela, Dec 29, 2010

Thanks Laura... - Vaanz, Jan 2, 2011

Esta typo-gatitio tiene dolor de cabeza-Mr. Potato.

This kitty has a Mr. Potatohead-ache.
