As an American, I feel the royal family is past its purpose. The only time that it held any interest for me was during the Diana years. They are completely out of touch with reality. Had Charles been able to marry Camilla, I think that public opinion would have completely destroyed the monarchy. They are a caricature of themselves...the result of generations of inbreeding. The writers are desperately trying to portray Charles with a personality. Casting him with a good looking actor, is not going to make him more attractive. Nothing will make Camilla attractive. The only sparkle in that group was Fiana and now William.

Death on the Nile
(2022)
Could be the worst remake ever....
7 July 2022
I was ten when I saw the original movie. It had such an impact on me that I dreamed of being an archaeologist and I booked a honeymoon to Egypt with a cruise down the Nile. I am a huge Christie fan...and although the original movie was not an exact duplicate of the book, it kept to the overall mood of the book and to the character of Poirot. Did Branagh have to make Poirot into a ladies' man, really? Could his ego really not allow him to play the awkward, but clever sleuth? Why oh why did he have to go so Woke and change the supporting characters. I have to say it...I hated the new Salome Otterbourne...the music besides being anachronistic was just plain awful. Couldn't she have remained an author? The Bouc characters were unnecessary and where was Colonel Race? I could go on and on... what perhaps was the biggest issue was the CGI scenery. Just a terrible, terrible remake.
