    Ah, I mistook “american cheese” with “cheddar”. The first isnt cheese, the second one is. Those american slices in the "cheese"burger, those that come out od the plastic wrapper, we in Switzerland call them “Cheddar” as well.







  • I mean, I get both. Sometimes it felt more like a documentary whith grand and cinematic images of the city and few spoken words, I can apprechiate that, altho its not what I am looking for in a movie.

    I suspected that he is supposed to not really show emotions, to show how he is trained/at the “baseline” and how he is not quite human. But I couldn’t see a gradual/fine development nor “hidden” or suppressed emotions behind his cold pokerface. (Apart from the one moment at the memory girl’s)


  • Just watched both bladerunner movies (idk which versions of them) and was rather underwhelmed. The cinematic grand setpieces i can apprechiate and see how they can be captivating for some but the story (or bith of them rather) wasnt very good imo. The worldbuilding is ambitious but the logic behind everything is lacking. Its just not “realistic” enough for me. I get thats sci-fi but for me it feels more like a fantasy movie like idk avatar or harry potter, rather than sci-fi which is supposed to play in our world/universe but with advanced tech. Things like not being able to distinguish replicants (first movie I just didnt buy. And then in the second one there is a gadget that can do just that.

    And also Ryan Gosling played pretty badly (maybe it was the script), no emotions, (almost) no storytelling in his mimic, emotions, in his character at all. He is almost like a wax figure, during watching I multiple times had to pause and complain to my co-watcher about his performance, as it too was unrealistic and too stoic for my taste











  • I have never heard of a feminist…

    • …pushing for more equality/fairness in custody-cases
    • …being against showing men in a stereotypical bad light in ads.
    • …being against alimony payments or fairer judge decisions
    • …being against prison-rape jokes
    • …speaking up for falsely accused men (Till Lindemann, Jonny Depp and so on)
    • …being against dangerous work emvironnments or bad work conditions or bad jobs in general
    • …pushing for more mental health support for men
    • …being against men-only military draft.

    It all being part of the patriarchy is maybe true if you want to look at it in this perspective. But I am of the opinion that most of those points would not majorly improve even if feminists would have total political control for the next 10 years.

    Because feminists stand up for the rights of women. Which is totally important and good. But will not automatically improve the lifes of men, because its not the aim of most feminists.
