Che Guevara - How Much Do You Really Know?
A good friend of mine from Argentina has a great Che Guevara t-shirt. Beneath the iconic image of the revolutionary in bold letters are the words "No se quien era, pero es la moda"; I don't know who he was, but it's fashionable. El Che has become the personification of rebellion and counter-culture, and you can find the world-famous photograph "Guerriero Heroico" printed on everything from posters to bikinis. Guevara no doubt would have despised the rampant consumerism built around his image having passionately pursued communist principles for most of his adult life. We've all seen the photo, some have watched the movie and a few have even got the t-shirt, but how many of the following facts did you...

Some people might think that it is so much better not to have to read subtitles of foreign films, when dubbed versions are readily available, but I definitely am not in their number.

Let me take you through my reasoning and then you may tell me if I am too off the mark on this. Dubbing vs. subtitling in Europe and Latin America - A short rundown In the film making industry, dubbing mostly refers to recorded voices that replace the voices of original actors and speak the local language of the target market, with the purpose of making them more widely accessible...

I am saddened to announce that Angkor Wat did not make the new "Seven Wonders of the World" as determined by Bernard Weber's online campaign. Just like previous attempts to name the world's seven wonders, this one is seriously flawed and arbitrary.
