Part of the problem is the length. If they had cut out twenty to thirty minutes it would have been better. There is a tolerable 90 minute movie sitting there.

I thought the head explosion scene was pretty anticlimactic. If you're going to make this kind of movie, why tuck your balls away at the climax?
First Seth Rogen movie for you? I thought it was one of his better ones, though I still think it sucked. Still, despite all the schlock, it did make the important point that North Korea is a vile regime that condemns millions to near-starvation conditions while the elite live in astonishing luxury. It paints with a broad brush to be sure, but beneath it all there is a true chord playing.
There is a growing realization that we are entering a multipolar nuclear world. Despite U.S. appeals to other countries to give up nuclear arms, this isn’t happening. And there’s little sign that it will anytime soon
New missile and other weapons in Russia and China, continued nuclear programs in Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, and Israel, and India’s nuclear triad are hard to square with the conviction that the world is marching toward some kind of global disarmament regime

Instead of calling the device a smartphone equipped with a 50 MP camera, they can market it as a 50 MP camera which is 4G/5G/6G enabled, plus it can make phone calls too
The only way Kodak can really make a difference in the already crowded smartphone market is to equip the Kodak branded smartphone with its own 50 Megapixel CCD sensor
If Kodak can do that then it has a fighting chance
If Kodak can't, hey, it won't be that much difference from yet-another-reference-design smartphone, aka, the " white-box "
I am from China, although I am an American now, I do run businesses and some of them are in China
When I read the "
The minimum salary for even an unskilled labor in the China's eastern shore is at least £500 a month
While that figure is still minuscule by Western standard, nevertheless that figure is still much more than that "
... what we get in weaker bones, we get in more refined minds
There are a lot of evolutionary trade offs, but weaker bones and refined minds are the two things that do not trade off against each others
A refined mind (for example, such as the one in Homo Sapiens Sapiens) consumes 20% - 25% of the total energy intake of the individual
To obtain a more refined mind one does not need to make one's bone "weaker" --- on the other hand, supercharging the intake process, for example, eating meat instead of digesting straws --- can supply the additional "energy consumption" that a refined mind needs
If there is one trade off for weaker bones is that we humans are becoming better swimmers
As our bones become weaker, our bones become lighter, and lighter folks can float/swim more easily in the water
It is thus no surprise that the vast majority of those who have won Olympic swimming gold medal are mostly from the Caucasoid tribe --- for the Caucasoids have (relatively speaking) the lightest bones among all the humans
Back in the 1980's when anything Japan, including the stinky sushi was the in thing, I shook my head in disbelieve
At that time I was still relatively new in America, and the "blindly following the trend" thing that was happening in the US of A was in some way, comparable to what happened in China back in the "culture revolution"
We human beings supposed to have enough brain power to think, but looking at how people were/are behaving, no matter if it's in the US of A or in China, sometimes I have to wonder if that defect in the human beings would one day cause our own downfall
