Tom Cruise... silly, silly man (mild)

They ought to be more upset that he’s trying to shove that piece of crap movie into their theaters.

On the other hand, imagine the irony of hearing what was originally German dialogue, made into an American movie and translated into Portuguese.

To a theatre of nonagenarian Nazi war criminals shouting “Look out behind you, Mein Fuhrer!”.

Ooops, too late, Cruise escaped from Australia so now Brazil has to keep him. Sorry and all that but he has more money than God and his wife (the new Stepford one) is cute so it may work out okay for you.
Sincerely,
The US

P.S.
Shedding idiotic celebrities isn’t easy. Just when we successfully exported Madonna to Britain those sneaky shits turned around and dumped the Beckham twits on us.

I’d say we got the better of the bargain. David Beckham has talent.

Robin

By talent you mean “A really tight ass”, don’t you?

That’s a talent, isn’t it?

Que pena, Tomas!

I wanted to go there somehow, but couldn’t come up with anything that sounded worthy.
Excellent work!

Too much talent for the MLS, apparently–he’s now playing with AC Milan in Italy. Still officially “on loan,” but he’s made it clear he wants to make it a permanent move to Milan.

As for the OP, it’s surprising how many people assume that since Brazil is in Latin America, that Brazilians must speak Spanish (to be fair, many do, just not as their primary language). And I’m astonished to hear someone think that tango is a distinctly Brazilian dance.

I do find it amusing, though, that Argentinians and Brazilians both spell “oops” the same way–I’ve noticed my Brazilian friends spelling it “upps,” too. :smiley:

Actually most nazi war criminals escaped to Argentina not Brazil.
I have a great anecdote. I am from Tucumán (north Western Argentina), many years ago a german called Richard Clemens used to teach at the national university there. He become close friends with my best friend grandfather (also German, a mechanic during the war).
One day grandpa saw his friend again in the newspapers after Clemens was kidnapped and brought to trial to Israel.
Yes, his friend was Eichman.

The English “oo” sound in Spanish (and in Portuguese i think,) is written u. So oops == ups.

Actually Nicole Kidman was born in Hawaii to Australian parents. Unless she renounced her US citizenship, Kidman is a dual Oz-Yank.

I was going to jump in with a crack about Tom Cruise’s height here.
But that would be small of me.

You misspelled Robert Downey Jr.
