Re:'The Secret Agent': Exploring a Vibrant, yet Violent Brazil

That movie was an absolute snooze-fest—way too slow and dull. I actually went to the theater with high hopes, but 15 minutes in, I felt like scrubbing the toilet would’ve been more fun.
It’s a shame Brazilian cinema is so stuck on such a tired trope like the dictatorship era. Enough already. That’s a oranje that’s been squeezed dry.
But I wouldn't bet against another one popping up this year...
At least I won't make the mistake of wasting my money and time on the same old cinematic garbage again.

Brazil lacks the moral authority to promote any global action. End.

Yes. A lot. In Firefox is very useful.
Using "*" + keyword in the address bar is something magical.

I'm using an iMac since late 2012 no issues whatsoever.
I just had to change my OS from MacOS to Arch Linux.

diLma was looking to strengthen the Communism above all. I don't like Temer at all, but, diLma as president, braziL could be in much worse path. Hope both of this corruPTs (among others) be in jail soon.
Re:HIDDEN FIGURES

HIDDEN FIGURES is the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.
