THEM! Where did great, simple, fun movies like this go?

People go missing in a small desert town in Nevada. After a bit, a print is identified by scientists (a cranky old man and a pretty girl) as giant ants (mutation due to the atomic bomb test a few years earlier). Military types shoot at ants, the inevitable trek into the ant hive, and a final desperate battle.
Classic sci-fi/horror at its best.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......

This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......

joined Lotus the first time in the early 1990s?). The game was called "It Came
from the Desert", and was the precursor to all these first-person games we have
today. It was made by a company known as Cinescape, and they were famous for
great games that made you feel like you were part of a movie.
In "It Came from the Desert" you are in a 1950's town, and strange things begin
to happen. You have to talk to various people, and put clues together before
you figure out that it is giant ants living in an abandoned mine.
It was awesome.
