Tío Chano vs ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’
by Joe LimaPoor Tío Chano. He claims that he hates going to the movies, but he won’t stop going to them. My father recalls that the last time Tío Chano liked a movie without reservation was “Patton” in 1970.
I’m not buying it. I think Tío Chano secretly loves the movies, even when he despises them. Last weekend he saw “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and even though he says it was terrible, he’s started reading our collection of “Harry Potter” books. He insists they’re ridiculous but he’s already halfway through the second book.
He’s also been muttering a lot lately about Judge Sonia Sotomayor and the United States Supreme Court. I hope you enjoy his take on these issues.

Gotta love Tio Chano!
Tio Chano is a genius. I never would've seen Half Blood Prince being tied around to the Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
Joe, I love the irreverence of Tio Chano. . . he is so refreshing in this so "pc" world. We all have a Tio Chano in our families. Mine was called "Mom"
Nice! Gotta love Tio Chano.
bravo!!!
Sim Sala Bim…
Tio Chano strikes once again and makes my other wise lackluster day absolutely glori-o-so.
Harry Potter, Soto-my-or and a little Chucky Shummer come together in a wonderful mix of commentary which Tio Chano 'knocks out of de ballpark'
Perhaps, because he choke up on de bat, just a little bit.
I think John Nolte and Tio Chano should overthrow the hosts of At the Movies and take over.
This guy is AWESOME!
Tio Chano gets a write in for my Texas Senator next voting session.
Is the "Half Blood Prince" Obama's Secrect Service handle? Newsweeks' code name for him? What Granny used to call him? Just wondering…
Oye!
Tio Chano, que crees de esa boricua izquierdista?

Brilliant and his opninon of the Harry Potter movies is the same as mine.
Haaaaa!
"You're just a stick"…a stick he says!
Haaaaa! What a great line.
Wait…did he say spick or stick?
What?…RRAACCIISSTT!!
Not over.
I have the honors in my family.
They call me "crazy uncle Dennis."
Keeps them on their toes. Heh.
Not Over.
Did you ask Uncle Chano how does the lizard skim board in the creek?
And if you get an answer, I'd like to know.
Let's try this with Obama (points wand) sim sala bim….nothing…..oh now I remember
SHUTUS MOUTHUS!!!
….man, I wish there really was such a thing as magic!
"My father recalls that the last time Tío Chano liked a movie without reservation was “Patton” in 1970." Well he is right lol
Wish you were my Tio… you would have made my family visits that much better. lol
Tio Chano does this hispanic more proud than Sotomayor any day of the week.
Way to go, Tio Chano! More from the "wise Latino" is always good…
joe/tio: you kick so much a** that you will be my thursday bada**es on my blog. holy moly that was funny…and dead on.
I love this Tio Chano – he's awesome!
This is funny as hell.
Why cant we get regular helpings of this rather than that Fake News Crap?
Hey, how about a panel, movie review show. John Nolte in the middle, talking about movies and Zo and Tio on either side.
More please, and choke up on the bat!
Hooray! More Tio Chano!

I absolutely LOVE Tio Chano! And as a Latina myself, I love the message behind the humor in this particular piece.
Welcome back Tio Chano, good to hear from you again. Glad you decided to do more of these pieces, and you're absolutely right on the money here.
now THAT'S a wise Latino!
Instant classic! I hope we see more of Tio Chano here in the future. He's a rich addition to Big Hollywood.
Give me more Tio Chano! The best part was the last line: After all, your just a Spic. Once again, the most racist people are on the left who can't see anything (even success) beyond the color of the skin even if it is their own.
Tio Chano, you rock!!! Be careful, though — those books will grow on you. Muchas gracias.
I want this guy to be my uncle!!
Joe! That was brilliant. (You had me at 'Joguarz')
OMG…. I was drinking water, did a spit take, and blew it thru my nose. Damn you, Lima!!!
BRILLIANT!!!! Great stuff again. I think you found your calling. The next Gene Siskel.
Mui Fantastico! I admit it. I saw the flick. I digs the Harry Potters. Like the analogy!
Tio Chano rules!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
