    The Official HTF Cat Thread

    My 15 year old cat, Mabel, crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning. I adopted her from a cat rescue back in 2009. When I took her in for the annual exam and blood panel back in April, it was discovered that she had Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). I tried to get her on prescription food but she...

    How are you dealing with life now with the Covid-19 virus situation?

    Masks aren't effective. That's been established a long time ago. Not sure why anyone continues to wear them.

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I'm not sure I agree. The main job of a QB is to throw the ball, not run. QBs who can throw with accuracy and proficiency are always going to have a job in the NFL even if they are immobile. I'm also biased because I always prefer a QB in the mold of the two you mentioned and I openly root...

    What does this have to do with the NFL?

    The HTF version of "I'm getting old" - early-to-midday showtimes

    I've been doing the earliest matinee possible since 1999, when I was 26 years old (for the record). Back then, there was no such thing as reserved seating so my main motivation was to get a good seat. Now that I'm nearly 50, I still go to the earliest matinee possible because my bed time is 9...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    You'll get no argument from me, however, I'm not sure that's how Trubisky feels. He has a base salary of 8 million dollars next year. I'd gladly hold a clipboard all season for that much cash. Supposedly, he's not happy with being yanked as starter after only 3.5 games and he feels he played...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    If non-losing season is the standard, then yes, we Steelers fans should be happy. That standard is what I would apply to the Pirates, not the Steelers. Tomlin gets credit for the non-losing seasons streak, however, he needs to take blame for the current state of the team and the years of...

    Pre-Order Babylon (2022) (4k UHD) (4k UHD SteelBook) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I've seen both and I'll be curious to get your thoughts - especially being blind purchases. Robert's description of "wonderful, strange, exhausting film." is accurate to how I felt towards Babylon. Tino's description of "polarizing" is accurate. It had many scenes that made me uncomfortable...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    He's a subpar game day coach and has created a bad culture, but I do have to give him credit for always keeping the team motivated when they are seemingly in a downward spiral. This year is a good example of that. If there was a record kept for winning press conferences, Tomlin would be the...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    The other need is a new head coach. I'd much prefer Flores over Tomlin at this point. The Steelers are my team and I wanted them to lose for a better draft position. Tomlin's main priority is the non-losing season streak and having another winning season just emboldens the Steelers not to make...

    Untitled Star Wars Film (2027)

    I certainly hope so. TV series really aren't my thing since I prefer cinema. My interest in Star Wars has never been this low, but I'm certainly open to seeing future projects, particularly cinematic endeavors, but I want good story telling, which has been sorely lacking.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

    I'm with you - it doesn't really matter but I do enjoy digging into the minutiae. It's compelled me to read about the militaries of foreign countries, which I otherwise would not have done. I do have to say that I absolutely loved the film and I saw it ten times. My only regret is that I did...

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

    I honestly don't know what her creative contributions were to the films you cited. Was she simply Spielberg's personal barista or did she have significant creative input? I've seen her name on many of the movies I've loved over the years but what did she actually do? It's a sincere question and...
