Congratulations to BananaPajama, who won passes to see Ice Cube’s latest movie, Ride Along.
By the way, isn’t it odd that Ice Cube, the guy who rapped about how much he hated the police, has portrayed a cop gazillions of times onscreen?
I’m sure there’s something psychologically deep to be uncovered there, but I’m going to skip that opportunity because I’ll be too busy cranking up AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted.
Back in the day, nobody was more intimidating than Ice Cube. Then he entered a mid-career phase of playing the cuddly teddy bear. But recently, he’s returned to being the toughest mofo on the block.
You can see his latest incarnation in Ride Along.
I’m offering you the chance to win passes to a screening of the movie in one of the following cities:
Chicago
Dallas
El Paso
Houston
Los Angeles
Miami
New York City
San Jose
The film is about a fast-talking guy who joins his girlfriend’s brother—a hot-tempered cop—to patrol the streets of Atlanta. The guy gets entangled in the officer’s latest case, and to prove that he deserves his future bride, he must survive all kinds of hijinks over the next twenty-four hours. John Leguizamo is around to represent la raza.
All you have to do is comment on one of my posts (including this one) about anything you please. Just make sure to tell me what city you plan to see the movie in, so I can allocate the passes.
If you win, I’ll email you the tickets. By the way, I won’t make your contact info public, so don’t worry about that.
I’ll announce the contest winners in the next week or so.
If you’re lucky enough to win, just remember to tell ‘em where you’re from.
Congratulations to KnuckleBaller, of Chicago, who won passes to see a screening of Man of Steel in last week’s contest.
As many people have pointed out, Superman entered the country illegally and has apparently never gotten his green card.
But you won’t catch me dissing America’s number-one superhero icon. That’s like chewing on a big old chunk of kryptonite.
According to one survey, the Superman logo is the second most recognized symbol in the world, right after the Christian cross.
I have my doubts about the accuracy of that survey, particularly because other symbols (e.g., “$”) are pretty popular. But I think we can all agree that Superman is, at the very least, exceedingly well known.
So I’m happy to offer you the chance to win passes to a screening of Man of Steel, the latest big-screen version of the Superman story, in one of the following cities:
Chicago
Dallas
Houston
El Paso
Los Angeles
Miami
New York
Phoenix
San Diego
San Francisco

In the meantime, just try to keep that Superman theme song from playing in your head.
Congratulations to Gin X, who won passes to see Tom Cruise’s new movie Oblivion. The film is set on a post-apocalyptic Earth. So I’m assuming it’s speculative fiction based on what would happen if the Republicans ever win the presidency again.
Yeah, it’s an obvious joke. But it could have been worse. I could have said something about Scientology.
In any case, I hope Gin X likes the movie. Stay tuned for the next contest.
When you’re asked where you’re going, wouldn’t it be really cool to smirk and say, “To Oblivion”?
Well, that works, if you’re actually going to see the movie Oblivion. And you can see it if you win this site’s latest contest.
The film stars Tom Cruise as one of the last remaining humans living on a post-apocalyptic Earth. He rescues a beautiful stranger, and pretty soon things get kooky for him. Morgan Freeman is around to lend gravitas.

Actually, two people shall pass. Ana in Miami and Janee in Los Angeles won the contest for tickets to see The Hobbit.
I hope Ana and Janee enjoy the flick. I plan to catch the movie myself soon, probably sometime between second and third breakfasts.
I recently announced that I would not be updating this site as often, due to the impending arrival of a certain infant Latina.
But don’t worry. I’m still doing the movie contests.
In fact, the last giveaway for 2012 is a big one. I’m offering you the chance to win passes to Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit, which will be screened in the following cities:
Chicago, IL
Dallas, TX
El Paso, TX
Houston, TX
Los Angeles, CA
Miami, FL
Yes, The Hobbit is Jackson’s return to Middle Earth, with dragons and sorcerers and goblins and… well, come on, you don’t need me to tell you how fantastically awesome The Lord of the Rings was.

In the meantime, I’ll be here, sharpening my orc-killing blade.
I’m happy to announce that Lucy in Dallas has won the contest for passes to see the upcoming Ben Affleck movie Argo.
With hope, Lucy in Dallas will report back to us and let us know if Affleck is indeed playing a Latino in this movie (his character’s name is Mendez). If so, we’ll have a debate on what that’s all about.
I mean, he doesn’t look like a Mendez to me…
Changes are coming to the way we do business here at Hispanic Fanatic world headquarters. Before I get into all that, however, let’s squeeze in another movie contest.
All you have to do is comment on one of my posts (including this one) and you’ll be entered for the chance to win passes to the upcoming Ben Affleck movie Argo, which will be screened in the following cities:
Dallas, TX
El Paso, TX
Houston, TX
Los Angeles, CA
McAllen, TX
Miami, FL
Phoenix, AZ
San Antonio, TX
San Jose, CA
Based on true events, Argo is about a life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans during the Iran hostage crisis in 1979. And best of all, the lead character has a Latino name (Mendez)!
If you win, I’ll email you the passes. By the way, I won’t make your contact info public, so don’t worry about that.
I’ll announce the contest winners in the next week or so. In the meantime, let’s get those comments flying.
