And that's being generous. The original 1974 version is also terrible, but slightly less so.
It's ok to be wrong sometimes, just a pity you've chosen to be wrong about this.

Hit me up with some Face Off and Con Air any time.
Squid game was amazing, also just finished Alice in Borderland now, really enjoyable, though worse acting, and production value.
Still cool.

Dubbed or Subbed?
I generally dislike subtitles, as I end up reading more than viewing. Obviously it's worse the more dialogue heavy a show is.
On the other hand, a bad dub is utterly distracting. Also worse with a dialogue heavy show.
Which is the best option here? from the few memes I've seen, it seems to be a bit of robot/computer/PA system dialogue. Which should lend itself better to dubbing than reverse lip-syncing.

You wouldn't get this type o thing with Mission impossible.
Let's go big next with Far and Away. Surely the most evocative portrait of Irishness ever to have made it to the big screen. In any normal year it would have won ALL the Oscars."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

It's tough to hire staff at the moment. Really tough. 3 people shy on our team and now think we mightn't get to where we need to be by the end of the year.
Had a role open that paid 55k. That's where it started with a candidate. Ended up with a final offer to the lad of 80k and still didn't get him.
Don't remember it being so bad.

I only mentioned to someone the other day that I realised Tom Cruise's movies are actually pretty decent.

People laughing at offers they would have gobbled up 12 months ago. Feels like a chunk of the workforce has just gone.
Richie can tell us what's really happening."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Even grads are hard to get because their company is looking for people with experience, which a lot of people from the last few cohorts may not have had the chance to get.

So many good Cruise films.
Legend
The Color of Money
Rain Man
Born on the Fourth of July (iirc, long time since I've seen it)
Interview with the Vampire
Jerry Maguire (again iirc)
Minority Report (partly)
The Last Samurai
Edge of Tomorrow
And you could make a good case for many others, the Mission Impossible ones, he was very good in Collateral, I've haven't seen the Jack Reacher ones, many like A Few Good Men, I like American Made. There are quite a number I haven't seen. When you get to choose whatever scripts and projects you want you are going to get a lot of good films.

Rewatched A Few Good Men only last week, really is great, the sort of thing that won't age too badly I think. Tom was on top form in it, and what a cast!
Also rewatched the Cape Fear remake (with Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte) recently, was fun but hasn't aged as well and the ending is ludicrous in a not-so-great way. The scene between De Niro and Juliette Lewis's characters in the school drama hall surely wouldn't be possible to film these days, it was almost unbearably creepy.

That movie scene reminded me of the masque of the red death with Vincent Price.
EWS - Headfk of a film , even more so when you think it's more than likely happening among the real horsehead elites .

Some of the salaries we're seeing being bandied about are off the chart for fairly basic entry level positions.

Great to see
I'm very distracted though in general from stuff with work and kids mainly, plus I have relatively few interesting things to contribute to discussions.
I can confirm that Kev is also alive.

Sinus issues the last 18 months, weird smells and seemed like they were infected, had a dicky tooth around the same time...ignored both till a few months ago, did a 30 day steroid spray thing on the sinus, no change. Woke yesterday with a sore jaw, decided to bite the bullet and call dentist, she gave me a 9.00am cancellation this morning. nearly 2 hours in the chair because it wouldn't stop bleeding after she had to extract the tooth, back one so didnt bother me. Even after she stitched it back it still bled so more compression and gauze, the Asprin didnt help...anyways i head home feeling sorry for myself and then blood starts coming out my nose...seemingly the root was up in the sinus cavity, when it got sore last year obviously affected it and when removed there is some sort of passage way now, common enough according to google but never heard of it before.
Got a new smoker yesterday and cant even enjoy it today...soup.This too shall pass.
