Fortunately technology is available to make it so smaller studios can make entertaining content.

Our current stable of "celebrities" are pretty mediocre.

It would be nice if someone could live up to brad pitt or tom cruise's lvl. Daniel Day Lewis. The guy who did the dark knight.

American entertainment is so lame.

I watched the first white lotus. No more, please.
ugh.

All these aged celebrities are so sad and so cringe to see now. Regular people seem to age so much better.

That was a nice authentic family moment…. Patrick’s laughter reveals a little embarrassment, but that’s ok….

Scott Adams says we should embrace embarrassment at times — we learn to laugh at, forgive, and live with ourselves a bit better by doing so.

Arnold posed naked in Playgirl magazine, AND got the family maid pregnant. He should talk about craziness!!

One usually doesn't see a parent talking about a grown child being naked, that doesn't make reference to memories of the child as a naked baby. I guess the nanny was the one changing diapers.

"Screw your freedom!" That is all.

“I guess the nanny was the one changing diapers.”
The nanny was making babies with Arnold . . . don’t blame him for depopulation.

In the show, Patrick is playing one of three grown children: him, his brother and his sister. In the scene in question, Patrick's character is having a threesome with a girl and...his brother. Ew. (The sister is not involved, apparently because it's not really incest unless it's gay incest.)

When the page first opens, I see Althouse' text, something about somebody's ass. But as soon as the video displays, it covers the text. Anyone else seeing this? Happens in Chrome, too.

He advertised his wares; he cashed in. Don't see the "craziness." Seems like it worked out for everybody.

Next we'll be dealing with the Baby Terminators.....

Ass in the open. Ass in the open. Look'n like a jack with your ass in the open.

“Celebrities” are the creation of those who celebrate them. Bottom line - it’s the audience that sucks.

Screw that asshole.

Yes. I noticed this, too.

Not my text. What you see is what's on X. I chose to embed just the video, but if you click the "Watch on X" button, you'll see the whole tweet.

It says: "Arnold Schwarzenegger jokes about seeing his son Patrick naked on screen in ‘THE WHITE LOTUS’: “I’m watching your show, and I’m watching your butt sticking out there. And all of a sudden, I see the weenie. What is going on here? This is crazy.”"

If you play the embedded video, those are the words you hear. I quoted some but not all of them in the post title.

That's funny; was my comment deleted?

You got caught in the spam filter, I see. No idea why. I'll release it.

"Da-ad!!"

Arnold was just on Theo Von's podcast, if you follow that one.

I love Arnold as an entertainer and bodybuilder (not so much the politician). He used to get a kick out of saying outrageous things to interviewers because they'd take it seriously.

He was on Graham Norton once, who showed him a photo out of one of his recent workout books for men that showed a middle-aged guy kind of laying down on his side with one leg pulled up, and Norton the flaming gay dude asked him what that was for, hahahaha. Arnold, who had some respiratory thing at the time didn't take the bait at all (or maybe he was too hopped upon meds to really notice) and just said matter of factly that it's "foer de obliques".
