Because while I was addicted to these movies, I had to admit that each one was a train wreck. But stranger still, each picture seemed to be the same train wreck. They all had posters painted by the artist, Boris Vallejo. They all cast actress MarΓ­a Socas in supporting roles. They were all shot in Argentina with Argentine extras and buff American leading men.

As it turned out, they were all produced by the same guy, Roger Corman, who produced 10 extremely low budget movies in Argentina throughout the β€˜80s. Almost all of them were Sword and Sorcery-style fantasy.

But why? If it was a cost saving measure, then surely there were cheaper locations than Argentina. And why fantasy? The costumes and magic presumably drove up production costs.

No matter what angle I sliced the question, my journey kept bringing me back to Pretoria, South Africa on November 8th, 1975 for that year’s Mr Olympia bodybuilding competition.

My favorite kind of people are folks who are still learning English to a conversational fluency but still use a limited vocabulary to make jokes and be subtly funny. Outstanding creativity. Huge personality.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

If I could get a Men In Black-style neuralyzer, I would wipe my brain clean of enneagrams and the people who have cornered me to talk about them
