Why is today's movies so depressing, confusing, and interminably boring, as JOAN COLLINS asks?

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 3, 2023
JOAN COLLINS: From handing over the tickets and finding your seat to the anticipation and excitement of seeing the advertisements for forthcoming attractions, I've loved the whole experience of cinemagoing. However, I've noticed recently that films tend to be divided into a few rather predictable groups. First, the plot is free, as in the trailers on a recent outing to the theater. They were mainly science fiction: futuristic, computer-generated potboilers. The dismal films that make you completely dissatisfied, as many of those nominated for this year's Oscar competitions are included in the second camp.

Hedy Lamarr, a British actress and entrepreneur, was assisting in the development of Wi-Fi

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 24, 2023
Hedy Lamarr, an Austrian-born Jewish-American actress (seen left with co-star Victor Mature in 1949 film Samson and Delilah), left her domineering husband behind in the early 1930s and fled to London, where she was first recognized by the American chief of MGM studios in London. In what was to be a glittering career, the beauty, who had been married six times, emigrated to the United States and went on to star in films with Spencer Tracy, James Stewart, and Clark Gable. In response to the Nazis' repeated jamming of radio signals used to direct torpedoes to their targets in the Second World War, Lamarr helped devise the technology she became most famous for. She developed a system with composer and colleague George Antheil that made radio broadcasting more difficult to detect and enabled the missiles to reach their target. In 1941, the pair based the system on a piano's 88 keys and submitted a patent for the idea. A patent was issued the following year, but the US Navy decided against using the technology in combat.
