Whys that, Rezzy?

[Jerrick]

And I hate american movies.

I think they are pretty sweet. The day the Earth Stood Still was nice, Valkyrie was sweet. And in a few months we will have a good set of new movies that im excited for.

[Rezinha]

Hahaha a thread about that?
Gosh!

I hate those 'comedy' american movies like American Pie and etc. They're so stupid!
I can't deny that I laugh but, after I see them I think "It's so stupid, why I spent my time watching it?"

They make me laugh too, but I usually go out of my way to not watch those movies. When i was younger I enjoyed them, but not anymore. =p

American movies aren't very good...
American anything isn't very good, come to think of it...

[Rezinha]

At the momment, I'm watching "Not Another Teen Movie"... It's so idiot but I like the song that Marilyn Manson made to the movie.

[Jerrick]

I watched the ending of that movie a few nights ago just to see that one younger kid in there that has all his hair sticking up. My friend Mike almost got in a fight with a kid that looked just like him.

EDIT: We have some pretty sweet stuff made in america. Like my Telecaster. Mmmmm.

Movies likes that are generally supposed to be pretty stupid. But, they usually make me laugh, so I'm fine with them.

[johnfoss]

The day the Earth Stood Still was nice, ...Blah. I'm going to guess you never saw the original? I recorded it off AMC or some other cable station around the time the new movie came out so they might still be running it.

It's sad when a brand new movie doesn't stand up to the 57 year old version. Each story is a little different, but the telling was much better in the original.

The new Star Trek movie looks very interesting. I hope it makes sense in terms of those characters' later lives, since we know so much about them. But I have my doubts, as they show the Enterprise being built *on the ground* in Iowa. Why would you build a huge ship in full gravity when you don't have to, especially when it's not designed for atmospheric flight?

[Rezinha]

Actually, I don't like to watch movies...
It's very hard for me to say "Oh, today I'm gonna watch some movies!".
I only say that when it's rainning a lot.
And I never, never, never go to the cinema.

Ive seen both. Liked them both. Liked the newer one better because the old one was visually boring to me.

Goats, my 14 year old is of a similar mind. And without getting to preachy I will tell you what I tell her. You are American, America is very likely your future, and you get to make of it what you will.

You are both intelligent, creative, and concerned. Have at it.

(That is, of course, the abridged version.)

I'm right now reading a book recommended to me by my daughter, Culture Jam. It suffers, I think from a lack of rigor and is structured somewhat like what it criticizes, i.e. catering to those with a short attention span. But on the whole it makes many good points. I would call it Chomsky lite, perhaps. Have a look. It addresses American popular culture.

I'm reading partly out of interest and partly to be able to talk to my kid about what interests her, advice I'd give to all parents. (Fortunately Twilight doesn't interest her. :) )

[Rezinha]

I'm afraid of americans.

Enough of this shirtless threads!

Oh, my trapeze video hehe :)

My favorite beaches are the ones here, in the south of Brazil. I like the ones that have almost nobody and lots of nature! I don't play frisbee. Usually, I spend all the morning in the sea, then I eat something and then I go back to the sea and spend all the afternoon there. :D

[Rezinha]

And sometimes, I do this.

[critter]

:eek: oh you're a beach bum.

I'm happy for you.

Beach bum?

beach bum
noun informal
a person who loafs on or around a beach.
(someone who loves the beach life)


Windsurfing is harder to do than kite surfing.
But kite surfing is more deadly.

I might get some flack for this, but IMHO American TV is more worthwhile than American movies.

I am finishing a BFA in Film Production and only watched a couple films in 2008, but I watch TV every night.

How It's Made
How'd They Do That
American Idol
The Real World
The Nature of Things
Myth Busters
The Office
Dexter
24
2 and a Half Men
Curb Your Enthusiasm
http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/images/evan-rachel-wood-larry-david-01.jpg
Survivor man
30 Rock
etc etc etc.

Reruns also have merit:
The Cosby Show
Who's The Boss
Cheers
Mash
Seinfeld
Mad About You
All In The Family

Does anyone share my sentiment? American TV, though sometimes trashy and commercialized, is some damn captivating stuff.

[siafirede]

Most of my favorite movies are American.

Office Space, Donnie Darko, Big Lebowski, Royal Tenenbaums, Labyrinth, Secret of NIMH, Land Before Time, Wristcutters, Troma movies, etc etc.

We also have great TV shows (but most of our shows are bad, but then again, most TV is bad anyway)
Amazing ones: Curb Your Enthusiasm, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Arrested Development.

Also...everyone likes American music (Rezzy likes the Cramps).

Hahah yeah. I like it.
I'm not against american culture. There are lots of good american movies (like Donnia Darko) but lots of them suck too! But it happens in every country. The only thing that I don't like about american movies is that they, sometimes, try to show that different cultures are worse than american culture.

For example, I bet most of the americans have the idea that here in Brazil there are monkeys and snakes all over the place, and you have to pray for your life everyday because at any minute you can be robbed and kidnapped and that there are lots of naked women and people come here just to make sex with them and that our capital is Buenos Aires and that we talk spanish... Hahaha.

Ong-Bak is a great movie from Thailand but terrible when you watch it with english dubbing instead of subtitles.

Rezzy,

You should get out more, you'd see that Americans have an accurate view, but your view comes from watching too much Brazilian TV.

With 2 corections: 1) the women aren't naked, they're topless and wear string bikinis with a Brazilian wax, and 2) they speak Portuguese.

Every time I go there I get kidnapped by gangs of women in bikinis. Very common.

I know we speak portuguese! But most of the americans who come here talk spanish. I mean, that's ok because they may teach spanish at the school, so it's easier than come here speaking portuguese and I know that all brazilians can understand spanish and etc. But there are some of them who think that we really talk spanish! :) That's not a bad thing, I can understand that. Because we're the only country here who speaks (brazilian) portuguese! And there's a lot of people here who think that the capital of USA is New York. So, it's normal that in every country people have a distorted view of other cultures.
I'm just saying that some americans think we are crazy naked people running through jungles and hanging out with monkeys! Hahaha

I've never got kidnapped by these women :( Maybe I'm going to the wrong place then.

Those crazy naked Brazilian women aren't interested in kidnapping a WOMAN!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_waxing

Brazilian waxing refers to a removal of almost all pubic hair, front to back except for a thin strip of hair on the pubis.[1][6][7][8][10] An extreme form of bikini waxing, it involves complete removal of hair from the buttocks and adjacent to the anus, perineum and vulva (labia majora and mons pubis).[11][12] Waxes that remove all of the pubic hair are known as a full Brazilian wax, full Bikini wax, Hollywood wax or the Sphinx.[1][7][8]

It was first done on American women by Brazilians, which is how it got its name.

Most of the topless girls are in the in Europe.
Canada are mostly comedians and hockey players.;)
In Brazil I would go for cosmetic surgery and dental work.hehe But mostly to play in the water and enjoy the wild life.

Who's going to Carnival? Now that were you get robbed.:Dhaha
No, you can get robbed anywhere. It's because when you go to a new place you don't know people and you don't know when you are walking into a bad situation.. And you got to trust somebody that you just met.

[Borges]

And Carnival here in Brazil sucks.

Us americans have no money now lol. Many of us are unemployed. :eek: I guess the rest of the world is laughing at us now.

Honestly, dont know anyone really that gets waxed here. Noone really talks about Brazil much so not really any impressions I know of. Europe is known for nude beaches tho!
