Legion Again Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Well, whenever Brazil gets back on track economically and the ER b comes nice, the MCU should still be around to take advantage of it. Be it Avengers 5, Avengers 6, Avengers 7, ... that is the power of longevity 😎 Edited August 25, 2018 by Thanos Legion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 There's a telling about Brazil, it's "Always the Country of the Future" in a sense Brazil always disappoints and never reach its potential, so it's always "a great future ahead" but never a great present. In a sense it's pretty true.. This article from the New York Times in 1995 tells everything in a fantastic way, even 23 years after it sounds like it was written today! https://www.nytimes.com/1995/07/23/books/always-the-country-of-the-future.html Brazil has a special resonance for American visitors. Both countries are continental in size and attitude, both were slave societies, both are immigrant nations and both celebrate their frontier origins while suffering from an absence of historical memory. But where self-absorption in the United States leads to superpatriotism, navel-gazing in Brazil ends in disillusionment. Brazilians tend to such distrust of their own national ability that they accept as fact the oft-related story that Charles de Gaulle once stated disdainfully, "Brazil is not a serious country." As Mr. Page points out, de Gaulle never uttered the phrase, yet there is something so perversely self-doubting in the Brazilian spirit that it perpetuates the fiction.

Napoleon Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Well this has been a quiet thread. I guess @Fullbuster is not following the market as close as before, because it's been a mess with the unpredictable presidential election next month. Some expect the ER will reach US$ 1 = R$ 5.

For now the ER is stable, at 4.06 but it doesn't take Lula's non-candidacy into account given trading wasn't happening this weekend.

TalismanRing Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Horrific shameful news. Twenty million artifacts lost, many the only of their kind for the indigenous people - an incalculable blow. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/03/fire-engulfs-brazil-national-museum-rio Quote Brazil’s president, Michel Temer, who has presided over cuts to science and education as part of a wider austerity drive, called the losses “incalculable”. “Today is a tragic day for the museology of our country,” he tweeted. “Two hundred years of work research and knowledge were lost.” Quote At the scene, several indigenous people gathered and criticised the fact that the museum containing their most precious artefacts has burned down seemingly because there was no money for maintenance of hydrants, yet the city had recently managed to find a huge budget to build a brand new museum of tomorrow. A crowd of several dozen people outside the gates, several of whom were clearly distraught. Others blamed the government’s austerity policies and corruption. Rio’s fire chief Colonel Roberto Robaday said the firefighters did not have enough water at first because two hydrants were dry. “The two nearest hydrants had no supplies,” he said. Water trucks were brought in and water used from a nearby lake. “This is an old building,” he said, “with a lot of flammable material, lots of wood and the documents and the archive itself.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo2xx Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Remember that friday (september 7th) was Brazil's Independence Day holiday, so that inflated the OW. Still a great opening, the marketing for this film was huge here. People really love horror movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Apart from superheroes if there's something Brazilians particularly love it's really horror movies, even if it's inflated that's not surprising to see The Nun doing well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Again Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It’s just a lull period for BO generally, imo. Meg and CRA gave some excitement to August, Venom and A Star is Born maybe will give a bit soon, but then things heat back up for the Holiday period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
