Why are most movies released post-2000 unwatchable?
Something I'm bothered by is you have some not-impressive movies with some very good performances. A few examples (strictly IMO): Denzel in Roman J. Israel, Esq. Meryl Streep in Ricki and the Flash Sandra Bullock in All About Steve, and The Blind Side(which is Lifetime Channel-quality pap) I find a lot of the Big Stars(tm) these days to be unimpressive. Ryan Reynolds? I don't see much there, same with the other Ryan. I hated the first movie of Dune a few years ago, they turned it into an almost-superhero movie, big buffed up guys fighting hand-to-hand, etc. The second movie was more what I expected, but I got tired of looking at Chalamet and Zendaya's faces. I just saw "Woman of the Hour" last night, might as well have been an episode of "Law & Order SVU." And then there's the animated movies, I could do without those. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. When they came out with the first film version of that I was blown away by Alec Guinness looking and behaving exactly as I pictured the Smiley character. Then came the remake a few years ago. Not just terrible, but laughable. The Peter Guillam character, Smiley's tough right-hand man and a bit of a lady's man was now a bisexual who wept when his live-in boyfriend moved out. He was played Cumberbatch -- a scene where he is supposed to be beating the truth out of someone is a joke, more like he was smashing him with his purse. -

Trump made Phoenix into Mogadishu. Opinion: Coming soon to an Arizona election near you: Drones and snipers Drones will be in the sky and snipers on the roof as votes are counted in Maricopa County. And it's completely understandable, given candidates who will say anything to sow doubt in elections. https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/laurieroberts/2024/10/21/arizona-election-2024-security-trump-lake/75780693007/ -

Part of Koh Kham Island for Sale for 1.8 Billion Baht
File photo courtesy: TAT, Trat Office A portion of Koh Kham, an eastern Thai island, is for sale at B1.8 billion. Known for its pristine beauty and incomplete resort structures, this offering has caught the attention of prospective buyers and holidaymakers alike. Listed by Facebook user Apassara Sonsab, this "private island" spans about 10 rai, featuring clear waters, a 300-metre sandy beach, and scenic volcanic rock formations. Situated 35 kilometres from mainland Trat and a mere kilometre from Koh Mak, the allure of this island lies in its tranquil and picturesque surroundings. Despite the sales pitch, the Tourism Authority of Thailand's Trat office assures that the island's attractions are accessible for all. Tourists can visit Koh Kham via motorboat or kayak from Koh Mak, experiencing its volcanic history and diverse marine life without needing to purchase it. Interestingly, Koh Kham was once the site of controversy. Back in 2014, local authorities charged the landowner with forest and sea encroachment due to unauthorised construction, including a 148-metre bridge and extensive land reclamation efforts. These issues, however, seem to have been eclipsed by the current sale initiative. According to Nol Suwatchananont, president of the Koh Mak administrative organisation, the land ownership has shifted hands multiple times, with the current title held by a restaurateur from Chon Buri. The intention to sell a prime slice of Koh Kham is genuine, adding a twist to the island's story, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-10-24
