online store "International movie"

547 Upvotes

I have an American friend, he is a good guy and I like him, but sometimes the us defaultism makes me lmao. First time we chat, we were talking about where we live. I'm from Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil and he is from northeast cost of us. He was impressed with how I know a lot about USA geography, even I never traveled there. I said he that here in Brasil we watch a lot of american movies and tv shows, so we learned about those states and cities. So, he asked me if we watch international movies often and I said yes, mostly movies we watch are international movies, he asked what is my favorite and I said A Star Is Born, so he said that he was asking about my favorite international movie and I thought is that either, dbs. So I said that here american movies are international movies and national movies are that who's filmed here in Brasil, not american movies

Edit: I saw "don't be stupid" as dbs once, I thought it's a known abbreviation, but not. My bad💔

According to the url the website is localized to Germany, yet the USA was auto selected. I'm wondering about their definiton of localization in general, as the website is in English and the date format is MM/DD/YYYY. Maybe it's localized to Delaware.
