All Is Lost




As soon as I read the marketing people hadn't backed All is Lost, despite winning rave reviews (HollyWeird™ prefers to pimp low brow propaganda these days) I downloaded it immediately.

Like anyone else I wondered how Robert Redford was going to carry a whole movie with just himself and a sinking boat but he does it, and does it well. 

What a movie to cap a fine acting career. He may still do another cracker but this stands out like a finale gem.

TVillas Thailand




Back in August last year, I did some consulting work for the largest Thai Villa rental company in the country. They put me up in one of their Villas in Pattaya and I was struck by how spacious, relaxed and luxurious, it all felt compared to staying in a hotel. I wrote a quick concept ad for a presentation I did for them.


Most of the Villas come with a pool, so if you can find a few mates or come to Thailand with a family, then the cost of renting a luxury villa really does beat a hotel hands down. T Villas (T for Thailand) have Villas all over the Kingdom from the Northern mountainous region of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai to the Islands of Koh Samui, Phuket as well as Hua Hin, Pattaya and more.

T is for Thailand but, T is also the name of the owner of the website business, so if you book a Villa you're dealing with a trusted friend. I don't make any money out of it but I'm happy to recommend someone who has a terrific product, works hard, has a good heart and is a close friend of mine.

In my analysis, and I told the company this when I presented to them: Rented Villas are Hotel Killers. 

Once you've tried one you'll probably never look back. 

It's better value, and a better holiday experience.

She's having a good month so far.

The Net: The Unabomber, LSD and the Internet [and One World Govt]




Poor old Ted Kaczynski was yet another victim of the fascist American Government's MKULTRA mind control programmes. It's tiresome watching documentaries where a victim gets all the blame by so called smart people who don't have the intellectual courage to look into the background of people exploited by elite Defence and Spy psychopaths parading as the best and the brightest.

This somewhat disjointed documentary riffs off Kurt Godel's incompleteness theorem, those old frauds Ken Kesey, Stewart Brand and Timothy Leary but there's some brilliant interview scenes with key components of the military industrial complex and bizarre exposures of paradoxical initiatives for global domination while avoiding fascism.

It's stuffed with people who suffer from very obvious cognitive dissonance. Flag wavers, war machine parasites, intellectual rogues and academic scoundrels.
