What the hell I was thinking?

Spoilers! First, let me say that I like the beginning of the show, but it took a while to hook me. For a couple of days, I was stuck on one of the earliest episodes, not willing to continue. I remember the exact moment that hooked me, and from then on, I was in. When George's mother shoot at the guys and fell down the stairs, I thought, wow, this just took a turn for the worse, but good for me, because we were finally cooking. Boy, did I wish for it, and I received it. It’s hard to promote a show that has a slow start because those shows are time-consuming—I get it—but this one delivers. It’s worth the time, unlike that crap Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which progressively got worse, this show exploded. Now, to be honest, I’m feeling way calmer about the upcoming Thunderbolts*, even though I didn’t enjoy the trailer very much. The sophisticated takes on free will, destiny, and decisions resonate with my inner monologues these days, elevating the show to a story with a heart. It seems l...

I think you can stream it right now on Netflix or Prime—I don't remember. I watched it at the beginning of the month, which qualifies it as a November pick, but still, this movie keeps me thinking, reminding me how cool it was to experience it. I will definitely see it again. For crying out loud, I watched Dead Snow for the third time (which is another great European movie, by the way), and at some point, I’ll play Sisu again. Both are bold European takes on the gold rush and European history. Sisu also reminded me of Mad Max: Fury Road, but without Furiosa (who failed to deliver at the box office, although I really enjoyed the movie). Is Tom Hardy actually the driving force? Venom 3 is proving something here—a movie I don’t need to see in cinemas is actually doing pretty well. Did the dismissal of Charlize Theron make Fury Road the last entry in the series? Anyway, I heard about Sisu a while ago from the YouTuber Chris Stuckmann, who reviewed the movie. I pinned it as somet...

A24 is really pushing hard to become my favorite studio. For sure, their talent for picking projects is once again on display here because Love Lies Bleeding is a very impressive take on Thelma & Louise and Monster. Remember Monster with the most famous female serial killer that brought Charlize Theron the very well-deserved Oscar? We should be talking more about Aileen Wuornos after the Menendez show and the outrage for their freedom. If you are able to be convinced that those two hunks are innocent, why are we not going through her files once more? Going back, thinking about Monster, I always had a feeling that Aileen, portrayed by Theron, had a lot of nuances and was rather a victim of the circumstances. Eventually, she evolved from her own savior to her own inevitable doom. The real Aileen seemed to be a bit more intense to unlock that hardcore empathy in us, huh? Both of those movies, Monster and Thelma & Louise, are very powerfully injected into this new incarnati...

Ich glaube, Hass wird unterschätzt oder missbraucht. Normalerweise deutet Hass auf Hinweise hin, was eine Person fürchtet zu werden oder was sie besitzen oder werden möchte. In diesem Sinne dient er als eine gute Landkarte menschlichen Verhaltens. Je mehr jemand hasst, desto mehr zeigt sich die Angst. Je besser wir unsere Motivationen und Verhaltensweisen verstehen, desto besser können wir sie kontrollieren und überlisten. Aber in letzter Zeit, wenn wir hassen, halten wir keinen Spiegel davor, um zu untersuchen, warum es passiert. Stattdessen hassen wir einfach blind – oder schlimmer noch, wir verbieten den Hass, behandeln ihn wie etwas, das wir nicht fühlen sollten. Doch in dieser Welt können wir alle zugeben, dass jede Emotion ihren Zweck erfüllt, solange sie im Gleichgewicht gefühlt wird. Das Unterdrücken von Emotionen ist wahrscheinlich der Grund, warum du gerade dies hier liest, zustimmend nickst oder ein wenig Entzündung im Hals spürst, bereit, in Wut, Tränen oder Lachen auszubre...

I think hate is underrated or misused. Usually, hate points in the direction of clues about what a person fears becoming or what they want to possess or become. In that sense, it serves as a good map of human behavior. The more someone hates, the more fear presents itself. The more we understand our motivations and behaviors, the better we are able to control and overrule them. But lately, when we hate, we don’t hold a mirror to it to examine why it’s happening. Instead, we just blindly hate—or worse, we forbid hate, treating it like something we shouldn’t feel. Yet, in this world, we can all admit that every emotion serves a purpose, as long as it’s felt in balance. Repressing emotions is probably why you’re reading this right now, nodding along, or feeling some inflammation in your throat, ready to burst into anger, tears, or laughter. Or maybe you just feel bored or nothing at all, craving a distraction. Bear with me—this list of things I hate is created to better understand myself....
