» Surrounded on both sides by rivers and flat rice fields, a solitary strip of road off Bang-Khun Tien marked a very special occasion for one little green parrot, who would take his very first flight. Timidly stepping out of its cage, the little parrot -- a hunt macaw named Shogun -- hesitantly looked around for his owner. It found him, fluttering awkwardly up to perch on his waiting hand.

» 1. Jam Ciné Club is back for November under the theme "Dystopia", with a focus on sci-fi films from the 60s and 70s with disturbing relevance today. This Wednesday, the film to be screened is Logan's Run (1976). Set in the year 2274, the film focuses on an idyllic sci-fi future where everyone is made to believe that life ends at the age of 30. As is true of all sci-fi dystopias, however, things aren't always as they seem, causing various members of society to flee from the utopia upon turning 30. Logan, a law enforcement officer, goes undercover to expose the hideout of these "runners", only to find himself a champion of their cause. Screenings start at 8pm, and is free for anyone interested.

» Whether it be Hannibal Lector, Norman Bates or even the Joker, psychopaths have long been some of the most fascinating characters in all of pop culture. As terrifying as they supposedly are, there is also a mystique to their madness, one that exists on the cusp of comprehensibility, divided only by that thin, elusive border we call sanity or morality or compassion.

» Being the geeky, nerdy man-child that I am, I absolutely loved the first season of Netflix's Stranger Things, the original sci-fi horror series released last year. With all its reverence for geek culture, the 1980s aesthetic and excellent cast, Stranger Things was a love letter to everything I loved, and I loved it for that. It was also a masterclass in suspense, a show that knew how to make you desperate to find out what's next at the end of every episode.

» Earlier this year, I had the chance to review another Marvel Studios Film, Spiderman: Homecoming. In that review, I described the film as more of a teenage flick with a sprinkling of superhero glamour, a trait that added a much-needed breath of fresh air to the usual Marvel film formula, one that threatens to outstay its welcome as the studio churns out multiple films each year. The same could be said for Thor: Ragnarok, the latest Marvel feature to arrive in cinemas today.

On the one side, mourners queued up from the entrance of the Grand Palace, went round Sanam Luang and further down Ratchadamnoen Klang, past Democracy Monument with the line ending around Wat Ratchanadda near Pan Fah Bridge. On the other side, the queue went towards Ror Dor Junction. The waiting time was as long as 10 hours.
