Heleen van Royen and Johan Derksen appeared last night Today Inside notexactly unanimous. On the contrary, Van Royen could count on a number ofsneers from Derksen. But VI viewers thought the author had a point.

The table discussion arises when the World Cup in Qatar is discussed. It waspreviously announced that at least 6,500 people were killed during thepreparations for the football spectacle. Johan Derksen has regularly spokenout about this, because according to ‘the mustache’ the Dutch government isnot taking the right role in this. Derksen believes that prominent Dutchfigures such as the king, queen or ministers should not travel to Qatarbecause of the human rights that are being violated there.

Johan Derksen about Qatar World Cup in Today Inside

But the World Cup in Qatar also has interests for the Netherlands. because_VI_ guest Chris Woerts says that the Netherlands owes the Arab countrybecause of the evacuation of Afghan interpreters. Qatar helped the Netherlandsat the time. And presenter Wilfred Genee emphasizes that the liquid gas fromQatar, which the Netherlands wants, also weighs heavily.

But Derksen sticks to his position and believes that there should be moreprotest from the Dutch government. Genee also asks Van Royen for her opinionand apparently she thinks differently than her 73-year-old table companion.“We are always pointing fingers. I always find it very difficult when you aregoing to tell someone else what to do or not to do.” According to her, aMáxima or Willem-Alexander should ask themselves whether the case does notgnaw at their conscience. “But I don’t understand why someone else is going tosay: ‘You can’t go there, because I think it’s a shame what happened there’.”

Heleen van Royen: ‘Are you going to watch the World Cup, Johan?’

Mr Derksen already looks somewhat dubious at the words of Van Royen and then astern “Dear Heleen” sounds, after which he starts a plea. “They arerepresentatives of the people and the king also represents the people. And 75percent of the people don’t want them to go. Is that finger pointing? Verymassive finger pointing, they can’t ignore that.” After which Derksenemphasizes that the principles of the royal family are hard to find. “Soapparently they have no principles, it’s just ordinary about money.”

“But Johan, are you going to watch those matches?” Van Royen picks up againwhen Derksen has finished his speech. “You really shouldn’t do that.” Andthat’s where Van Royen misses the mark, according to Derksen. “No, now youkeep saying stupid things,” he responds.

Johan Derksen: ‘You are talking shit’

Van Royen raises her voice at the Today Inside -table. “Yes, hello,principles. If you say I think it’s disgusting, we shouldn’t do that and weshouldn’t go there. So you actually think we shouldn’t have played footballthere.” But according to Derksen, we cannot avoid that. “We can get out ofeverything, why not?” asks Van Royen. After which Derksen explains that withsuch a decision, the Netherlands will be expelled from FIFA and blow up theentire Dutch football. “Refreshing”, Van Royen responds.

Van Royen mentions once again that we should not point too much at someoneelse. After which she emphasizes that wrong things are also happening in theNetherlands, such as a subsidy affair or gas extraction in Groningen. ButDerksen quickly draws her attention to the fact that 6500 deaths cannot becompared with that. “From now on, we no longer point to countries, we are notcritical and we think everything is beautiful,” says Derksen sarcastically.”You’re talking from your neck,” he says towards the dinner guest. “No, I’mnot talking from my neck,” Van Royen reacts fiercely.

VI viewers understand Van Royen

After that, the discussion moves to another topic, namely the Hazesdocumentary. Van Royen watched the documentary because she was curious. “TheHazes family is one of the most famous families in our country.” After whichDerksen cynically “well” grumbles through her. “Johan thinks I’m alreadysweating my ass, even though I haven’t said anything yet.” The two don’treally align. Incidentally, it appears from the responses of the VI viewersthat some can follow Van Royen’s point of view.

Sixteen years ago, Meghan Markle made her debut in the ‘Deal or No Deal’series. In a new episode of her podcast ‘Archetypes’ she talks about thisperiod to Paris Hilton (41). They’re talking about beauty and brains , butMeghan feels she was mostly judged on the former. “I quit that show because Iwas so much more than how I was portrayed. I hated that it was only focused onmy appearance,” she says. “My character had little substance. I felt like Iwas being reduced to a bimbo.” Her statements have caused quite a stir, withformer ‘Deal or No Deal’ co-star Claudia Jordan feeling inclined to respondand stand up for host Howie Mandel.

Claudia’s reaction

Claudia responds to Meghan’s statements on Instagram. “Just to be clear, yes,getting a modeling appearance on a game show isn’t necessarily about yourintellect. But in each show, the executive producers picked out five modelswith the most outgoing and fun personalities to give them microphones. Theyknew they were the ones who would get along well with the participants.” Shecontinues: “And ‘Deal or No Deal’ has never treated us like bimbos. That showgave us so many opportunities. I enjoyed this experience very much. It was astep up the ladder that I have climbed for 25 years, which has paid all mybills and which has led me to appear in many shows, campaigns and magazines.”Jordan even appeared as a co-host in the Miss Universe pageant in 2009. “Notbad for ‘a bimbo’.”

Jordan does not see her public statement as a direct attack on the Duchess,quite the contrary. “I want to emphasize that I am not attacking Meghan. TheLord knows that I have defended this woman in the media for years and willcontinue to do so. But I don’t want any misunderstandings about the workingconditions on the set of ‘Deal or No Deal’. I especially want to protect hostHowie Mandel, who was nothing but kind and respectful to all of us.”

One day the universe will collapse, but rest assured: that day is stillbillions of years away. The DC Extended Universe, on the other hand, seems tous already in its death throes.

Erik StockmanThursday 20 October 202209:13

‘Wonder Woman 1984’ walked on crutches, ‘The Suicide Squad’ was a commercialflop, Adil & Bilalli s ‘Batgirl’ was coolly relegated to the forgottenpit, and now lead actor Ezra Miller no longer seems to have them all inone place, it is highly uncertain whether ‘The Flash’ will ever be releasedagain. And ‘Black Adam’, the umpteenth attempt by DC to keep up with the asyet smoothly running Marvel Cinematic Universe, is a super debacle in allrespects in our opinion.

The film opens with one of those typical headache-inducing mythologicalintroductions that not even Peter Parker could manage: a voice tells us aboutthe city of Kahndaq, about the Crown of Sabbaq that harbors the power of sixdemons, about one Akh-Ton , about the Council of Wizards, about a Hero whowill one day rise and free the people from their chains, and about the magicalore that can only be mined in Kahndaq: Eternium, that’s the name of that blueglowing stuff (in superhero movies, magical minerals light up usually blueon). Six minutes away, and we already wanted to exchange that Akh-Ton for aBeer-Ton, but oh well.

In present-day Kahndaq, three figures have been searching for some time forthe above-mentioned Crown of Sabbaq, which according to legend has been buriedsomewhere in the interior of a mountain for 5000 years. Why those figures arelooking for the Crown of Sabbaq? In an unintentionally hilarious scene, one ofthem, a tough lady, provides the answer to that question herself: ‘To be ableto bury the Crown somewhere else’. Excuse me? As if she herself realizes thatthe answer sounds somewhat absurd, the lady gives some extra text andexplanation three scenes later: ‘No one may use the Crown! If we ever findhim, we’ll dig him up and bury him again!’ Twelve minutes away, and the ‘Duh!’quality of ‘Black Adam’ had already reached unseen heights.

The demigod who then rises from the mountain, called Teth-Adam – a name which,like the pectorals of Dwayne Johnson begging for a brassiere – we thoughtit was a boring piece of shit: it’s just a superhero who, like hundreds ofother superheroes, soars aloft, shoots lightning, bounces bullets, and pluckssurface-to-air missiles from the sky as if they were maple seeds. yawn. We’realso sorry to report that Johnson is slightly disappointed in the role he’sbeen hoping to play since 2008: it’s laughable when Dwayne pulverizes anopponent during the first action sequence and makes the remaining spine snaplike a twig, but in the In most other scenes, Johnson seems hopelessly tornbetween bone-dry seriousness and self-relativistic fancy. The villain on duty,on the other hand, is a particularly dull horned brush that deserves to besent to oblivion by Thanos at the flick of a finger.

It’s common knowledge that superhero movies usually have little to offer innarrative terms, but ‘Black Adam’ must be a low point: for two hours you sitwatching masked figures who cleave through the sky and who, now above a cityand then again above a mountain, firing all kinds of bolts and beams at eachother in an accumulation of weak CGI. Come back, Zack Snyder all isforgiven and forgotten!

A kind of creative desperation even winds through the images; and concretelywe are talking about the desperation-smelling way in which DC tries to imitatethe MCU in ‘Black Adam’. As if the makers also sensed that Johnson would notbe able to carry the film on his own, after 20 minutes they put on a team offour other superheroes: the Justice Society. Hawkman is Iron Man with realwings instead of a suit, Atom can make himself as colossal as Ant-Man, Cyclonecould be the niece of Storm from the ‘X-Men’ franchise, and with Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan!) they stage a wizard who can peek into the future. Rings abell, doesn’t it? Now those in the know will rightly argue that Doctor Fateentered the comic book world much earlier than Dr. Strange, and that Dr.Strange is actually a decoction of Doctor Fate, but that doesn’t really matterhere: the oversupply of providential doctor-wizards in the superhero genrecontinues to point to a lack of ideas.

Question: Could the DC Extended Universe, and by extension the entiresuperhero genre, be in a creative stalemate? Or will ‘Black Panther: WakandaForever’, out on November 9, restore our faith in the genre?

‘ Black Adam’ is now in theaters.

‘Haha! Puccini. Immediately. His music always hits me right away. I’m really afan of late romanticism, especially those verismo operas, with fairly simplestories full of misery, and then that very emotional, cinematic music. I likeentertainment, and Puccini is very good at that, which is why there are alsomusic lovers who look down on him, they think it is too flat. I also likeVerdi, because he knows how to outline the atmosphere so well and knowsexactly what singers can do. If Verdi is the NPO, then Puccini is RTL.’

The Hague or Nootdorp?

‘I was born in The Hague, but grew up in Wassenaar, so in a village. Thatsuits me, you get to know people faster. But there is more to experience inthe city, I find it difficult to choose. Ever since I became a celebrity,everyone wants to know everything about me and come into my house. My wife hasnot chosen that, she is a teacher and just wants to live peacefully.

‘I am a house sparrow. In the Dutch opera world it works that you are onlytaken seriously if you have made a career abroad. I tried it once, working inan opera house in Osnabrück for a month, but I couldn’t stand the loneliness.Terrible.

‘Through my TV appearances people in the opera world know how to place mebetter. They always thought I was a good singer, but I was too stubborn, notto be kneaded, not highbrow. Now I can be an ambassador for the opera. Sincethe TV, I’ve also been asked more for roles, then those companies are veryhappy that they have Francis in the house. They are now more often smallroles, because I am no longer of the age that I can play the young soprano.Sometimes audience members are disappointed when I don’t have so much tosing.’

Have a drink with opera or musical people?

‘Musical people. 100 percent. They are much better at that in the musical.This is also due to the set-up: in an opera you never play the sameperformance for eight consecutive months – no, then there are eightperformances. From The Sound of Music if I have done 120, then you build acompletely different relationship with your colleagues. There is tremendousdiscipline. Every day there is a joint call like: we’re going for it again.

‘In the opera everyone is more on their own island, you are busy with your ownvoice. You also have to put in a bigger performance, vocally, so you can’t bebubbling much either. Although: when I Jenůfa sang at Dutch National Opera,if I had such a nice opponent, an Englishman, I would gladly go to the cafeacross the street to drink those delicious Belgian beers.’

A leading role at Dutch National Opera or in The Sound of Music?

‘There is one thing I still really want, and that is to sing Tosca fromPuccini. That is not even necessary at Dutch National Opera. It’s my one andonly dream, with such a real Scarpia (the villain who wants to conquer Tosca,red. ), a set full of statues of the Virgin Mary, and that you then have tojump down like that (Tosca commits suicide by throwing himself from thetranses of the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, red. ).

‘It depends a bit on whether I will do musicals more often. Suppose they comewith Beauty and the Beast , then I would like to sing that old Mrs. Teapot,there is very beautiful music in it. But Hema the musical – it seems toexist –, I’m not waiting for that. Anatevka , Fiddler on the Roof : I alsothink they are all very beautiful. But you commit yourself for such a longperiod of time, that’s very intense.

‘I don’t feel like I’ve been looked at differently since I did that musical,because everyone thinks I’m unique. I hear that from all sides. In the musicalworld I am the opera singer, and in the opera they say: she does The Sound ofMusic no one can do that better than her.’

Francis van BroekhuizenStatue Frank Ruiter

Carlo & Irene or Philip & Maarten?

‘Difficult weather. With Carlo Boszhard I performed in The TV canteen Iplayed Queen Elizabeth in it. But I choose Philip Freriks and Maarten vanRossem. Because I’m always in bed with Maarten. With his podcast, with hislectures. Philip is very nice, a sweet, cultured man. And Maarten is so goodat putting things into perspective because he knows so much about history, Ifind that soothing.

‘My TV career started with Maestro (competition in which celebrities have toconduct an orchestra, red. ) in 2017. I was allowed to sing there, it wasvery well received and I was always asked back. Not the last time, then theywanted to change tack and Laetitia Gerards did it, also a very nice chick. Incorona time I finally had time to participate in The smartest person.Apparently I made such an impression there that people still think I won.Well, I just couldn’t walk the streets anymore.

‘During the lockdown, the TV was a godsend to still be able to perform.Television is easier than stage, you don’t have to be able to do anything forit. At least, not me, I’m just me and people seem to like that a lot, haha.’

Pope Francis or John Paul II?

“Francis, for sure. Because he tries to welcome everyone, even the gays amongus. He is good for the poor, for the refugees: he really lives up to his nameand tries to fill his pontificate in the spirit of Saint Francis. He is justnot helped by the curia, which is conservative as the plague.

‘Recently I was at a funeral, in my own parish church. There is such a Spanishpriest. He just plainly says that only people who live a devout, RomanCatholic life may go to communion. Well, then almost the entire church is notallowed. I can only ask for the blessing, because because I live with a woman,I am too sinful. I felt totally discriminated against, in my own country. Whois such a man in a chasuble to determine if I am Catholic? I don’t feel likesubmitting to it.

‘You also have priests who say: we do the Lord’s Supper here and everyone canparticipate, I think that is a much better starting point. I don’t like goingto church anymore because they only have mission priests from Latin America.That’s why I get alienated. I am a culture catholic: I like the music and therituals. I am critical, yes. But because of Pope Francis, I stick with it.”

Singing your solo performance in a sold-out Beatrix Theater or singing at thePride?

‘Yeah, that Pride was a kick. But I would really like to have that BeatrixTheater full now. For the last time I play my program When in doubt singloud with Gregor Bak. If we sell a thousand tickets, we’re good. But stillprefer the Pride, that’s about something. It’s great to be in such a purpledress on Dam Square Climb Every Mountain sing and everyone goes crazy. Inthe end, we gays are blamed for everything, see Putin with his attack on theWest corrupted by the LGBTI movement. It is important that as a gay person youhave examples that say: it is good that you are here.’

Early or late Callas?

“I’m a huge Maria Callas fan, although I’m a very different type from her. Shewas the diva, I prefer to come to rehearsals in sweatpants. After taking thequiz The Connection (Van Broekhuizen won and took full control, red. ),Matthijs van Nieuwkerk asked me to make a lecture on Callas. He likes peoplewho are obsessed with something and so am I. I’m very know-it-all, which iswhy I’m so good at quizzes.

‘But early or late Callas: it just depends on what you mean by that. For belcanto the early Callas, for verismo the late. Her Tosca from 1964 is muchbetter than the one from the fifties. She then found her own Scarpia inAristotle Onassis (the wealthy Greek shipowner who would later marry JackieKennedy, red. ). It seems like you feel that. That’s my interpretation,isn’t it? When you see her singing, you see that she has so much baggage. Thescandals, the toil, always having to be the best, being the most photographedwoman of her time: all that frustration comes out.’

The average artist throws out a press release when announcing a new record,but Taylor Swift does it a little differently. She has been warming her fansfor her music for years with mysterious messages. It is now a sport to unravelthe puzzles devised by Swift. Also around her new album midnights whichcomes out Friday, are the easter eggs countless.

By Danja Koeleman

“Nothing this woman does is a coincidence,” one person wrote about TaylorSwift on the Reddit forum. “In 2009 the show was stolen from her, now she isstealing the show back.”

Many people can still remember the images: thirteen years ago, Swift receivesan award at the MTV Awards, but on stage rapper Ye interrupts her and shoutsthat the award should have gone to Beyoncé. In 2022, Swift wins the awardagain, announcing that she is coming up with new music.

Exactly thirteen years after the first incident. And thirteen is the luckynumber of the artist. No coincidence, according to her fans (also called’Swifties’).

It is not without reason that the fans have suspicions of intent: in the musicworld, Swift is the queen of the easter eggs (Easter eggs or hiddenriddles). Since the beginning of her career, she has been putting secretmessages in her music, clips and everything related to it. A cryptic messagein the CD booklet, a visual hint in a video: Swift challenges her fans to findout exactly what she means by it.

“I want to encourage them to read my lyrics well,” Swift says in conversationwith Jimmy Fallon. “Because I am more proud of nothing than my lyrics.”

There are hundreds of videos on YouTube in which fans analyze Swift’s videoclips.

Hint about cheating ex

In the CD booklet of fearless (2008) the lyrics are printed in lowercase.But whoever puts the single capital letters one after the other will see amessage emerge. They tell you something about the number. This is how thecapital letters in the lyrics of fearless the message ‘I cried whilerecording this’. A subtle way to tell her fans that this song has greatsentimental value.

Or in Should ‘ve Said No, a song about a love that cheats: in it the capitalletters ‘Sam’ form. With which Swift tells between nose and lips that her exSam Armstrong (with whom she had a relationship in high school) was riding acrooked skate.

From her album reputation the singer stops posting secret messages in herprinted lyrics. Swift is completely fed up with all the gossip that arisesfrom this, she says later. The easter eggs she then stops in her videoclips. This is how her fans in the clip of Me! discover the titles of hernew single and her next album – if they pay attention, of course.

A striking and recent easter egg is to mention one William Bowery, author ofsome of the songs on the albums folklore and evermore. Fanatic fansimmediately start a Google search, but can’t find a songwriter with this name.

They soon share the suspicion that it is Swift’s friend Joe Alwyn. His great-grandfather’s name is William and the singer and actor were first seentogether at The Bowery Hotel. The discovery is later confirmed by Swifthimself. (text continues below the video)

Taylor hints further on TikTok

With each album, the Swifties’ quest seems to get even more intense. “As longas they like it, I’ll keep doing it,” the singer says in 2019 to_Entertainment Weekly_.

And so is the release of midnights , which appears on Friday, againsurrounded by puzzle pieces. For example, the title will be revealed by Swiftin May between nose and lips. And the atmosphere of the album would resemble_Foliage_ from 2019. According to the singer, that CD almost had _daylight_called.

All these hints are discussed in detail on TikTok. Under the hashtag #SwiftTok(which has already been viewed more than 10 billion times), her fans siftthrough every message, interview and song from the singer. Swift is playfullyresponding to this again, in the run-up to the release of midnights post aTikTok every weekday. In it, she reveals the titles of her new songs.

There’s another superhero in the cinema. Or an antihero, actually. But fearnot; there is also a dutch romcom! Not good either? There are stillinteresting international releases and documentaries to watch from this week,as well as the film that will be the Dutch entry for the upcoming AcademyAwards.
