This Friday, the highly anticipated Spider-Man 3 is opening in theaters nationwide. If you’re going to be in the Miami area for the opening, though you may want to get used to saying El Hombre Araña 3. That’s because film goers there can watch Peter Parker speaking Spanish since there will be a dubbed version available on the big screen. Usually people have to wait for the DVD version to watch their favorite films in Castellano or settle for sub-titles. Just goes to show you how big a force the Spanish speaking community is. How do you say spidey senses in Spanish?

Chavez lashes out at ex-presidents

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez is spittin’ mad at comments made recently by ex-Spanish president Jose Maria Aznar (a personal friend of Chavez’s nemesis, Bush) who, at a conference in Philadelphia, urged the world to see to it that Cuba change its course after the death of Castro. He also said that Latin America needs to “open itself up to democracy.” There are too many things about these comments that could piss Chavez off, and not to be outdone, he lashed out, accusing the Spanish ex-president of being a pawn for Bush:
…”he is a facist and he also supported the (April 2002) coup, he’s of the same sort as Adolph Hitler, a true Bush lackey,” said Chavez.
