I recently watched Cruel Intentions, a teen romance that might have some elements of titillation, but as I was watching it with the eye of a completely disinterested observer, I cannot say whether I found Sarah Michelle Gellar in it hot. This is not a particularly deep movie. In short, it is about a bunch… Continue reading Cruel Intentions (1999)
Sometimes, there is just a deluge of bad news: there is global boiling, Putin still refuses to unconditionally surrender, and the premier outlet for feminist criticism of videogames, the esteemed format Feminist Frequency, spearheaded by luminary Anita Sarkeesian, is about to cease production. According to a recent video, which I did not watch as I… Continue reading Anita Sarkeesian’s Feminist Frequency is Shutting Down
I just finished reading Schwarzeneggers’s autobiography Total Recall. Overall, this book appears quite dishonest. Basically, you read about him winning for four to five decades straight. He talks about a second place at some international bodybuilding competition being a setback at a time when he was undergoing his rapid rise to the top.

Instead, I was also curious if there were obvious signs of Hollywood being up to its usual shenanigans… Continue reading Wokeism in 1980s Schwarzenegger Movies
Netflix recently released a three-part mini-series on Arnold Schwarzenegger, which, I assume, all of you are familiar with. This mini-series has three parts, covering distinct phases in Schwarzenegger’s life: body builder, movie icon, and politician. Looking for a catchy alliteration, these parts are called athlete, actor, and American, which perhaps rolls off the tongue more… Continue reading Arnold (2023)
I rarely watch TV shows, and even rarer is it that I stick to one until the very end. The only TV show I have been following for years has now drawn to a close, Succession, which is available on HBO but somehow also found its way into GTA. According to the intellekshual analysis on… Continue reading Looking Back on Succession (2018 – 2023)
