Welcome to Boomer Hell: Spielberg's 115 Million Madness

A 79-year-old billionaire has made a film in which the truth about an alien cover-up is revealed when someone broadcasts a video on prime-time television. The year is 2026. In a world that has known for twenty years that television is what parents leave on in the background while checking their symptoms on their phones.

Blurred Horizon – Hollywood on welfare

Once upon a time, if you wanted to work in Hollywood, you at least had to be willing to get your ass on a plane. Sunburn, cocaine, and overconfidence included. Those days are over. Today, all you need is a home office in Hamburg-Altona, some AI software, and a creative will—and you're right in the thick of the dream factory. Welcome.

The film "The Hype" exposes the Ministry of Truth

On March 27, 2020, the BBC, Reuters, AFP, AP, Google, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Microsoft publicly pledged to immediately suppress any content that contradicted the official COVID-19 narrative. Six years and one day after the film premiere of "The Hype – 2020 Revisited" in Herisau, Bernese filmmaker Mike Wyniger takes stock: The predictions

Hen: The chicken that understands more than the people around it

It was only a matter of time before the chicken became the protagonist of an arthouse film. Not as a side dish. As the main character. As a moral compass. "Hen" tells the story of a hen who escapes an industrial farm – demonstrating more initiative in the first five minutes than most human film heroes of the last decade. Her goal: a

Pentagon service: Pulp Fiction is now Holy Scripture

Pete Hegseth, God's own Minister of War and self-proclaimed crusader in camouflage, recited a Bible verse at yesterday's Pentagon prayer meeting. A real one, of course. Absolutely authentic. Straight from the Holy Book. The book Pulp Fiction, chapter Tarantino, verse Ezekiel 25:17. The man who commands the world's largest military can't distinguish a Hollywood thriller from Holy Scripture. And nobody can.

The Punisher: One Last Kill – Trailer

Frank Castle is back. Not because the world needs him. Not because anyone asked him to. But because the New York underworld apparently hasn't been completely bled dry – and Castle is solving this problem in his own way. "The Punisher: One Last Kill" will be released on Disney+ on May 12, 2026 – in Germany one day later.

Chuck Norris improves every film – with a smug smile.

There are film theories that are discussed at universities. Montage. The male gaze. All a waste of time. The only film theory that matters is: Every film gets better the moment Chuck Norris appears in it. That's not an opinion. That's physics. Chuck Norris doesn't make cameo appearances. He guest-kicks. Chuck Norris doesn't sneak into famous films—famous films sneak in.

Hollywood: Popcorn, propaganda and tanks – The most expensive propaganda department in the world

How the US Department of Defense has been writing Hollywood scripts for decades — and why you should know this before the next blockbuster. You've seen Top Gun. You've seen Iron Man. Transformers. Black Hawk Down. James Bond. The Marvel Cinematic Universe. Argo. American Sniper. Jurassic Park. Godzilla. Meet the Parents. The Pentagon and the CIA have been involved in all of them.

Dragon Blue shows what is possible with AI.

Tim Simmons is an AI filmmaker who is well-versed in current tools. He also seems to have mastered traditional filmmaking techniques—while the AI apparently doesn't yet understand what continuity is or what it even means to "cross the line." For the most part, Simmons seems to compensate for this—though I don't know how much effort that entails.

Antifa as a heroic epic: Hollywood has officially abolished shame.

There are moments when the dream factory drops its mask. Not accidentally. Deliberately. Proudly. With tears in its eyes and an acceptance speech that feels like a Politburo communiqué with better lighting. "One Battle After Another" won six Oscars. Six. For a film that real viewers rated at 18 percent. 18 percent.

Brandon Lee died – Eric Draven became immortal.

Hollywood loves remakes. It's the most efficient form of creative bankruptcy: take something that's already worked, remove the soul, and replace it with budget. But there's a problem with The Crow. Brandon Lee wasn't an actor in this role. He was a symbol. A spirit between life and death, captured on celluloid, with
