    Testy Area 51

    Hi folks!! I'm not 4K yet, though I try to buy in that format for future-proofing. Now that some releases are 4K disc only (with or w/o digital copy), I got a 4K player though it will downconvert to 1080P on my TV. Being that the TV works perfectly fine and is also 3D capable, I'll hang on to...

    Testy Area 51

    Happy Holidays, everyone!! Steve, I was watching "The Curse" on Britbox and they showed Safeway bags with the exact same big S logo as here. Didn't know Safeway was over there. (Well, the show takes place in the 80s.)

    Testy Area 51

    Hi all, I haven't been to the theater in over 2 years now and am actually not missing it. Movies come to streaming or disk so quickly nowadays. I've been trying to catch up on movies with Oscar noms recently, including "Drive My Car", "Eyes of Tammy Faye", "Coda". "Coda" was definitely the...

    Testy Area 51

    I've seen Priest 3 times, including the 2011 tour at The Joint in Las Vegas. I felt the same way -- I couldn't believe Halford hitting those notes!! Some felt so piercing to my ears! I have his book "Confess" on audiobook but haven't listened to it yet. And I like that he's a cat person!

    Testy Area 51

    I was supposed to see Judas Priest in Vegas on October 8 but had cancelled my plans a while back. Turns out that concert and the rest of the tour was cancelled anyway because guitarist Richie Faulkner had emergency heart surgery after having an aortic aneurysm while performing "Painkiller" (and...

    Testy Area 51

    Wow, it's been a long time since I visited here. Good to see you guys. I am missing going to Vegas most of all. While it's doable now and my Vegas bands just started playing again, it won't be feasible for me to go for a few months. I always use the same travel agency with a good Vegas...

    Books You’ve Read 2021

    I'm currently reading "Ballistic" by Mark Greaney, the third in the "Grey Man" series. I really enjoy this series and it would translate well to film. I recently finished "The Last One" by Alexandra Oliva. Fantastic premise -- it's like "Survivor" set in a post-apocalyptic world. Very good...

    Testy Area 51

    Hi folks, It's now been one year since my last trip to Vegas. Being that I normally go 4 - 5 times a year, I've been missing it so much. But my Vegas bands aren't allowed to play anyway, so I wouldn't go without that. I've had 2 of my Keith Urban concerts there cancelled and my...

    The Official HTF Cat Thread

    My current foster kitty, sitting in my (his) chair. He needs to gain weight to make the neuter limit. Very hyper kitty, partly because he doesn't have a pal. I really prefer to foster them in pairs or more, but he was by himself. VERY vocal when he is hungry and makes cute little squeaks...

    Testy Area 51

    It's so tempting to get a 4K TV now that the prices are good. BUT, my 3D TV looks fine, and I have a bunch of 3Ds I haven't watched yet. I have been forward-thinking and buying 4K/Blu-ray combos if the sale price isn't much more than the Blu-ray alone. A while back, I placed most of my DVD...

    Testy Area 51

    Local cinemas have just reopened recently but I won't be going in the near future. I'm actually not missing going as I am watching many TV shows and movies at home. Recently finished S1 of "Why Women Kill", S1 of the new "Twilight Zone" (working on S2 now), S4 of "Lucifer". Watching...

    Testy Area 51

    She's no Nastassja Kinski!! I haven't seen any of "True Detective" yet. Stephen Dorff's recent show "Deputy" was cancelled. It was pretty good, but I actually think the look of the show might have turned people off. It often had that sepia-toned look of some films and perhaps was not...

    These were my most recent fosters, Archie and Sundae. Sweet kitties and very quiet except a couple of times in the carrier. They made their weight for spay/neuter and were placed at a "cat cafe" about 10 days ago and both appear to have been adopted!! These 2 had diarhea a while (so common...

    Testy Area 51

    Trying to catch up on some series off my DVR and movies. Finished Season 3 of "Killing Eve". I know people were very divided over the final episode, but I kind of liked how it ended. Already renewed for S4. Just started S3 of "The Sinner" starring Matt Bomer. I didn't care for S2, but this...

    Testy Area 51

    I'm surprised!! Most stores here will not admit you unless you are wearing a mask. Being that they are so hard to find, I just made my own out of T Shirts. Watched "Summer of 84" on streaming tonight. I rather liked it!! I saw on imdb that many people hated the ending, but it didn't spoil...

    Hi everybody, kind of lost track of this thread for a while!! Yes, Hawaii is still pretty much on lockdown. I think some Oahu businesses get to open on Monday, following the neighbor islands. But nothing "hands on" like beauty salons. These crazy tourists keep coming to Hawaii and trying to...

    Chloe and Taffy were accepted back on Wednesday and it appears both have already been adopted!! I miss them! That's the hard part of fostering. Chloe was one of my favorites -- one of the mellowest young kittens I've fostered. And Taffy had a comment for everything!! :lol: I had to make a...

    So sorry for your loss of Shaggy, Malcolm. These are my 2 newest foster kitties, Taffy and Chloe. They will be going in for their check-up in a day or two and I expect them to have made 2 lbs. and be accepted back. These 2 were turned in as strays (part of a litter of 5), but have been very...

    Uncut Gems (2019)

    This is pretty much how I felt about the film. The story at its core is very interesting, but it could have used some "quiet desperation". I hated 90% of it. I really liked Kevin Garnett and much of how it wrapped up. (I really disliked the Safdie's "Good Time" as well.)

    Testy Area 51

    Turns out they hated the Hill's Science Diet canned food. After 36 hours of no eating, I put out the Friskies and they ate like they were famished. No throwing up anymore. I've never had a foster who liked the Science diet brand, but that is all the Humane Society now carries. I've been...

    Testy Area 51

    I saw "Bombshell" a few days ago. Charlize is Megyn Kelly!! She looks so much like her (with the 3-hour prosthetics/makeup job), and modulates her voice to sound like her. Only in 2 scenes sans makeup did she look like Charlize at all. Margot Robbie is really good in this, too. As a FOX...

    I've been fostering Wally and Kira for about 3 weeks now. They will be going for their check-up tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure they will have made the weight to be spayed/neutered. Wally is a bundle of energy and he can barely stand still long enough to eat a lot. He takes a little stroll...

    I've had quite a few kittens from the Humane Society with upper respiratory infections and others with conjunctivitis. I would wrap them like a burrito to give them their meds. I'm hoping that after the expense of the meds and spay/neuter, they will give them a good length of time to find a...

    I had the dry food out all day, and put out wet food about 3 times a day while I sat a distance away. I did try the feeding from hand with treats, however, That is the only way Allie would come near me. She never liked getting petted and would duck, but she would at least bat at my hand...

    I'm very worried for them. It's likely I was the first human they had prolonged contact with since they were turned in as strays. I feel like I couldn't get them socialized enough. I hope they will get a chance. I got asked if I could foster 2 others yesterday but I had to decline right...

    Huey, Allie and Riley (clockwise from top left) made the 2-pound weight and were accepted back for adoption yesterday. Previously, they were extended a week with me because they had soft stool so they were dewormed again and given Fortiflora. Huey finally let me pet him from about a week...

    Testy Area 51

    I liked "Once Upon a Time in. . .Hollywood" a lot, too. While the Rick and Cliff parts were great (and a reminder of Brad's unique charm), I found I particularly liked the scenes of Sharon Tate. Her visit to the theater was especially sweet. The scenes near the end were a bit excessive. I...

    The Lion King (2019)

    I own a lot of films that I've intended to watch but just didn't get around to yet. (I also watch a lot of TV, so it's hard enough keeping up with that.) I haven't "avoided" it intentionally. I also have a ton of books in my "to read" pile.
