Ball Lightning: Boring Documentary Arnold, Depp Unveils In Pig Idol

Arnold Schwarzenegger is enjoying his retirement by working because inflation obviously affects everyone. He concluded an undoubtedly advantageous contract with Netflix, for which he became the marketing face. In spots and commercials, he promotes action titles of the streaming service, his acting participation drew attention to an otherwise completely forgettable sitcom with action scenes FUBAR and is now adored in the documentary ARNOLD. Although even in it his cases regarding his behavior towards women are being dealt with, for which he earned the media label “Man with the heart of a pig” in reference to his heart valve transplant in addition to his chauvinism.

“Each part reflects a different stage of the period. The first part is about bodybuilding, the second about culture, and the third is focused on his political career,” outlines Marek. In his review, he pokes fun at people outraged by another Netflix documentary miniseries: “Arnold has a very good rating on various databases so far, which is due to the fact that it’s about a white heterosexual male. If it wasn’t about a white straight man, but just like Queen Cleopatra there was a black character in the staged passages, so it would upset racists and xenophobes. In Arnold, especially in the first episode, we have staged passages where Schwarzenegger is played by someone else, running around on a stick or looking in a display case. It doesn’t upset anyone, because here people recognize that these are staged passages, while u Queen Cleopatra in the case of a historical series set in Egypt, people probably won’t recognize that it’s staged,” Marek thinks sarcastically about why people don’t think more.

False document?

“Arnold is really, really incredibly repetitive. Each episode has the form that fifty minutes is an adoration of Arnold, where everything problematic is passed over, or Arnie makes an authoritative statement about it or his friends talk about it. Only at the end of each part do we have something dramatic: now his mother died, now his father died, now his closest friend died, who replaced his father figure because it was problematic,” says Marek, explaining why his glutes felt the three-hour length of the documentary.

“But everything is swept under the rug or framed so that Arnie comes off as a god to be worshipped. This is how everything is approached there. When it comes to steroids, Arnie says that at the time everyone was doing it and he was doing it responsibly, moving on. Or when it comes to the fact that he did not take proper care of his family, and that he had an illegitimate son with a maid who was still employed by him, it turns out that he continues to see his son and has a positive influence on the illegitimate and long-term denied son. And when Arnold wasn’t taking care of his family, he was saving the burning forests,” Marek gives examples of why he rather likes this cute portrait.

“In the end, for me, it was a documentary portrait of a psychopath or sociopath who suppresses all emotions, aims purely for performance and manipulates his public image through the media and being in politics. A killing three hours in which you learn nothing (new) about Arnold,” Marek doesn’t take his napkins, and concludes scathingly: “It’s not even as good as gay porn, even if you see a lot of naked men in the first part.”

Marek was in Kulové Blesk this time as a good cop, whom Arnie the Terminator would not be good for. Rating between 40 a 50 % for docuseries Arnold would probably not please the Austrian bodybuilder with a limited acting record.

Piglet from (HBO) MAX?

The new show, the first two episodes of which premiered at the A-festival in Cannes and are now available to watch on the streaming service (HBO) MAX, tells the story of a pop star (Lily-Rose Depp) who develops a relationship with a music cult leader (The Weeknd). “When the first two episodes were screened in Cannes, the media like Variety a Hollywood Reporter published reviews that the series is sexualized and that the protagonist masturbates. If you have already seen the first part, you have to admit that there is nothing to see in the given scene and it was decently shot,” Jana comments on the controversy created by PR agencies and fueled by the media.

“And that’s something I appreciate about Sam Levinson, who you know as a series creator Euphoria and the image Young killers. It non-sensationally discusses the decadent lifestyle of today’s teenagers and adults who live in an oversexualized world, the net is full of pornography and ten-year-olds grow up watching porn,” Jana explains why the final form of the series does not correspond to how it has been written or talked about so far. “I don’t understand why the media felt the need to connect to the series. After the first part, I would say that it is filmed and narrated without controversy. Although it tells about the hypersexuality of teenagers or adults, it never objectifies the female body. The female figure is aware of her sexuality, she walks around dressed as she walks, but the series does not objectify her – she only objectifies herself,” explains Jana. “There are also good jokes about the currently discussed profession of the intimacy coordinator, who supervises the photo shoot on the album cover of the young starlet,” he adds.

Jana continues to return to what she doesn’t understand as a university teacher: “I don’t understand why the media took a story that takes place in the music business and in which The Weeknd, one of the most popular mainstream music icons, participated as author. The Weeknd and Levinson met ten years ago, and they both understand very well what music can tell,” says Jana, adding that not only she, but also the series is intended for viewing as well as listening.

Who wants to know what Jana, as a big fan of Slovak genre films, has to say about BLACK ON A WHITE HORSE, will have to listen to the Ball Lightning podcast because it won’t be written in black and white here. The same is true if you’re interested in Mark and Jan’s differing opinions on yet another toy-selling feature film TRANSFORMERS: AWAKENING OF THE MONSTERS.
