James Cameron Opens Up About Moving to New Zealand, Calling the U.S. “Not Sane”

As a huge fan, I was really interested to hear that James Cameron and his wife, Suzy, officially moved their family to New Zealand in August 2020! They’d actually owned a farm there since 2011, but the pandemic made them decide to make the move permanent a lot sooner than planned. He was pretty direct about why, saying that New Zealand just handles science and public health so much better than other places – it clearly made a big difference for him and his family.

Movies Portraying Journalists with Integrity and Nuance

I just finished watching a fascinating film about Charles Foster Kane, a newspaper giant, and it really stuck with me. The movie doesn’t tell his story directly; instead, a reporter pieces it together after Kane’s death, talking to everyone who knew him. It’s less about what happened and more about how we understand a person, especially someone with so much power and influence. What’s really compelling is how the film shows the struggle between honest journalism and the ego of the man controlling the press. It’s a brilliantly constructed movie that feels like you’re actively investigating Kane’s life alongside the reporter.

Actors Who Oppose Gender Transition for Minors

I’ve always been a fan of Alice Cooper, but I was surprised to hear his views on gender-affirming care for young people last year. He seemed really worried about the increasing number of kids exploring gender transitions, suggesting it might just be a phase and could confuse them. He believes a child that young simply isn’t equipped to grasp something as complex as gender identity, and that a person’s sex is determined at birth. Honestly, it sounded like he was concerned parents might be rushing their kids into choices they’d later regret, and I can understand that concern, even if I don’t fully agree.
