Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Sylvester Stallone

Who Would Win in a Fight Between Arnold and Sylvester Stallone

Arnold Swartzenegger is 1.87 m tall and weighs about 113 kg. As a young man, Swartzenegger was a multi-sport athlete who chose body building immediately compared to other forms of physical competition. Sylvester Stallone is 1.77 m tall. His body weight in Rocky's films was between 81 and 89 kg. As a young man, he was not an athlete.
During the filming of Rocky's films, Stallone received professional training, but either he didn't learn much from them, or he abandoned the techniques he was taught because, like most movie producers, he thinks the shots given in a spectacular way, they are more impressive than the fists thrown with the correct technique. Schwartzenegger is a natural athlete, of superior size and strength, and almost certainly speed and reflexes. He would probably win, even without proper training.
If Schwartzenegger had been given six months of intense boxing training, Stallone would have had no chance. He is too small and too athletic for Arnold. Schwartzenegger is a natural heavyweight, and Stallone, perhaps a super middleweight. He does not belong to the same band as Arnold, especially Arnold is moderately well trained, and would be less inclined than he to abandon the correct boxing techniques. Arnold would win by KO, with or without intense boxing training.

Christoph Waltz Humble Beginnings

Christopher Waltz Early Filmography

You may not know it, but if you've already seen it in some movies, I think you can't question its prowess.
Christoph Waltz is an Austrian actor who started his career in the theater world. Occasionally he has participated in TV series ("Commissioner Rex") or "small screen" films (ie never released in the cinema, at least in Italy).
In 2008 his career changed forever.
At that time Mr. Quentin Tarantino was at work on his new film, "Inglourious Basterds". As often happens in his films, many characters were outlined in a detailed and particular way, so they were not easy to interpret.
Well, one of these characters was Colonel Hans Landa. Tarantino, in the script, had made him a versatile character and "in the round". So difficult to interpret that Tarantino was about to abandon the film project!
During the castings, no actor had in fact shown himself up to the role, so the director was starting to lose hope. Fortunately Christoph Waltz was introduced to him, to whom the part was masterly interpreted.
With that film, the actor won, in 2009, the prize for best actor at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globe, other awards and, dulcis in fundo, the Oscar for best supporting actor.
Not bad for the big screen debut, eh?
Bastardi senza gloria has given wings to his career: in the course of a few years he has participated in films of great success interpreting never simple roles and always revealing himself to the task (for example in "Carnage" by Roman Polanski).
In 2012, to crown his again, he won another Golden Globe and another Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his phenomenal performance in the film "Django Unchained", also by Quentin Tarantino, featuring actors of the caliber of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx and Samuel L Jackson.

What recent TV shows realistically represent women in power?

Women In Power on Television

Game of Thrones is one of the TV series in which women have the widest possible representation: also, and above all, in matters of political and military power. This is particularly surprising considering that the world of Game of Thrones is characterized, essentially, by a feudal society, which, historically, has not always been particularly friendly to the female gender.
Cersei Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, Margaery and Olenna Tyrell, Catelyn and Sansa Stark, Ellaria Sand and Yara Greyjoy : whether they are acclaimed or not as leaders, they are all examples of women occupying a position of pre-eminence with regard to institutions and territories they represent or the army of which they are driving.
Cersei and Daenerys, in particular, represent the quintessence of the woman in power in this series. Their own story, in fact, is perpetually associated with research , maintenance , expansion and, inevitably, the loss of power. It follows that the representation that characterizes them is extremely complex and realistic and allows us to grasp magnitudes and weaknesses.
Three extremely interesting elements can be gathered from the observation of these women who hold power, the last of which is more closely associated with the fact that these characters are really feminine:
  1. In the characters, the power - which in the case of Cersei and Daenerys, both queens, is particularly vast - tends to maximize the expression of both quality and, above all, defects .
  2. Power is always relative . However juridically or practically recognized as "absolute", it is never "absolute" in the literal sense, that is "free from any constraint" ("absolutus"), because there are too many material implications (economic, social - being a " simple "woman in a not indifferent way" and immaterial (affective, emotional, ethical) that concern him. In particular, there is a clear distinction between the possession of power and the exercise of power - the latter is generally the most contrasted condition.
  3. The woman, in itself, does not have a desire for power inferior to man : although apparently banal, this truth has often not found and does not find a worthy representation. In numerous series (television and not only), the woman, if not deprived of any association with the sphere of power, is nevertheless represented as "naturally" predisposed to being subordinated to a male figure of reference or, if predestined to occupy a power role, not necessarily eager to occupy it (traditionally, women strongly desiring to occupy a position of power are only negative characters, if not antagonistic, like the "evil queen" of fairy tales); in GOT, instead, even the female figure, as it is realistic, is attracted, like her male counterpart, by power.
And so, here in GOT , for better or for worse, female characters fight vehemently to become powerful .
And, once they became powerful sovereigns, ladies or military leaders, they give rise to most of that interlacement that has committed (and will commit) the hours spent in front of this television series.

In the coming years we should see more strong women in power in television and movies.


Celebrity Sightings in Restaurants

Have you ever met a celebrity in a restaurant?

Not just a celebrity, but I met a politician of the League, who now hears little about himself, but at the time he was a rather well-known character for his blatant and racist gestures (for example, he once got on a train and started spray deodorant and disinfectant in a compartment where some black women were sitting).
I was in a restaurant with my girlfriend and we saw him go in alone and sit at a table. He did not demand special arrangements, but was immediately rude towards the waiter. He ordered a plate of pasta and then, when the same waiter came up to ask how he had found it, he replied in a loud and very sarcastic tone: "It was hot ... cold ... he didn't know anything ... I have to continue?" And he looked at that poor boy defiantly, enjoying the fact that he put him in trouble. If I remember correctly, he also refused to do the dish again, saying that he would always suck (frankly, I doubt he sucked even the first time, considering that we had seen other people sitting down and eating that first tastefully, when our hero still had not honored us with his presence, and in any case he had also cleaned the plate). In the end they didn't charge him. If I had not been in the company, I would have invited him to respect the people who work and allow others to eat without having to see the painful spectacle of a guy who uses his position to mortify a young man who could be his nephew.

Meeting Celebrities in Restaurants


One time, in a restaurant in Aosta , by pure chance, a well-known TV presenter in the Italian television scene of the 90s, but at the moment I don't remember the name because he left the scene.
in Rome , in a renowned Chinese restaurant near Piazza Vittorio, frequented by people from entertainment and cinema, we met the cartoonist Vauro one evening .

 
At the Hilton in Rome , on the occasion of the remake of the famous Live Aid which took place at the Circus Maximus on that occasion, the years 2005–2006 ran, I met Ligabue (disliked and opinionated) with the following bodyguard and Biagio Antonacci ( spontaneous and genuine). I state that from the artistic point of view I appreciate Ligabue (of which I bought the records and I also went to see it live) and not Antonacci but from the human point of view nothing has ever stopped me from seeing that the Liga really has a bad character, it is a mounted. 


Dulcis in fundo, always at the Hilton and at the Hilton restaurant, the Duran Duran complete in their historical line-up, or in order:  Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor. Exquisite, genuine, spontaneous, friendly and gentlemen. Capable like few others to create and nurture an authentic phenomenon of custom thanks to their jovial humanity that adds to their unquestionable artistic talent. The first love is never forgotten.

Chef Bruno Barbieri

One time I met celebrity chef Bruno Barbieri for a while stopped to have breakfast in the bar where I often have breakfast too. Despite the rush hour, 10.30 am, I felt sorry for him. He was without peace, many who rudely interrupted him to ask for an autograph or to talk to his mother on the phone.

Why was Michael Jackson not a happy person despite his enormous wealth and fame?

Why Was Michael Jackson Not Happy

If I start by saying that money buys everything but happiness I repeat an obvious. But it is so.
I try to break the answer in two.
I have a dear friend who is a psychologist in Milan . The area in which he works is that of Brera, Porta Nuova and Porta Venezia. For those unfamiliar with Milan, we are probably talking about one of the richest areas in Italy. Well, his work is booming because it is full of customers, people who, despite a very high standard of living and vast financial resources, have difficulties. We often joke about this and I tell him that he thrives in the unhappiness of others: from a certain point of view it is true, because my friend bought an apartment in Madonna di Campiglio because his rich and wealthy clients, despite everything, have accounts pending with life.
Second answer. The world of music is littered with artists who, despite glory, money and women, have never managed to achieve happiness. Michael Jackson is perhaps the most striking case, but one could extend the list starting with Kurt Cobain to get to Janis Joplin. And here it gets interesting, because we often talk about people who came from nothing (or a little more), who very young found themselves billionaires. And they realized that whatever they had anyway was not able to give them happiness.
To be happy, we need more. Money is a tool, beautiful and formidable, but it does not give you the joy of the heart. Attention, it is not philosophy, it is reality. How many top managers I knew that despite having climbed the heights of the most splendid careers, full of money and success, they were reduced to Saturday afternoon begging for an exit to do something and lived on Sunday as hell because they didn't know what to do. On the contrary, I have friends who work fourteen hours a day in the countryside, six days a week and are happy like children.
If you want to be happy, you must have something inside you that is worth living for, that gives you a meaning as a person, that prompts you to love and want to be loved. Money, followers, likes, Grammy Awards and women can make you happy , but being happy is something else.

Michael Jackson's Childhood

Michael Jackson did not have an easy childhood, despite having known fame from an early age. The father was not exactly a saint, he gave him every, he and I suppose also to his brothers and sisters.
If your parents hurt you, there is no money that can buy you serenity.

Because fame and wealth do not make you happy, or solve all your problems, unlike what people usually think. Michael Jackson was successful but throughout his life he was treated by people around him as a chicken with golden eggs and not as a person, with feelings and emotions.

He certainly had to suffer the paternal abuse and the false accusations that ruined his image (so there will always be those who think he was guilty because unfortunately that's the way things are).
But I don't have the feeling that he was never happy.
