  • I moved to Spain from Poland over 10 years ago. I could see the society in Poland is not planning on advancing anytime soon so I left. Since I moved Spain kept making progressive reforms (they are now considered #1 LGBT friendly country in the world among other things) while Poland kept moving backwards (restricted access to abortion even more) so I’m not looking back. Spain is far from perfect (I liked the relax attitude to general order at first but now it’s getting to me. pick up your trash, people!) but people, food, weather, nature… If I will even move again it will be inside Spain.





  • Obviously a simple tourist attraction would not be designed to be fully sustainable for years and years. If they had time to adapt the train to be self sufficient they would have time to build a circular track that doesn’t go over bridges and stuff. And the “moving to generate power” thing obviously also doesn’t make sense. It supposed to be some sort of magical perpetuum mobile. But again, doesn’t matter. The movie was still great. Even the show was good.

    I think the only bad movie I really liked was Snowpiercer. It has to be the worst Sci-Fi I’ve seen. Why are they on a train? Why does it have to move? Why does it have to go around the world? Why does it go around the world in a year? If they have infinite energy why not use to… you know… heat some building? Nothing makes sense but damn does it deliver the message well. Such a cool vibe.

    I can’t stand any of the modern “Sci-Fi” like Marvel. For me it’s just like watching someone play video game. All the CGI means there’s no acting, no suspense., just sequences of events. Yawn.


  • I don’t remember when he talked about it but Arnold claimed that he read the script. loved it and then bumped into Cameron at some event. He started talking to him about the role like “the actor should not look at the gun as he reloads it, he should do everything automatically by touch” and other things that he thought will make the performance look more like a robot. Cameron was like “why don’t you play it?” but Arnold never played a bad guy before so he wasn’t sure the role was good for his career. Eventually he agreed and the rest is history…

    So yeah, you would think that him looking like a robot in the movie was because he wasn’t acting but it’s actually the other way around.

    He was also great in Total recall, Predator, True lies… Those are timeless classics (do you remember the remake of Total Recall with Farrell? Yeah, nobody does) not despite Arnold starring in them but, at least in part, because of it.
