Merry Christmas to all of you!!!

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...

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.)

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

Returned from Vegas several days ago. I saw Judas Priest at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel (same place I last saw them 8 years ago). Really enjoyed it! Halford can still wail, although he still does that "singing to the floor and sometimes turning his back to the audience" bit. They must have...

The Night Comes for Us is definitely not my cup of tea. I like action, but cannot watch excessively violent/gory/gruesome stuff. Have been getting a bit lazy to go out to the movies recently. It's too easy to wait a few months and watch it at home. I guess I will see "Endgame" in several...

Steve, I'll likely watch "Bird Box" when I subscribe to Netflix soon (mainly to watch "Lucifer". Thank goodness Netflix saved the show after FOX cancellation). I read the novel a while back and it was OK. Also really want to see "The Dirt" on Netflix. That book was great!!

Last film watched at the cinema: Arctic Last films bought on Blu-ray: Burning (Korean) and Widows Last film watched on Netflix. Don't have Netflix. I do intend to subscribe when "Lucifer" starts. Last TV Show I watched on Netflix: No Netflix yet, but doing a discounted promo period for...

Been pretty busy taking care of my sick foster kitten for the past several weeks. He's a 9-month old ginger and is getting over an upper respiratory infection. He's feeling much better and running around like mad in the evenings, just when I'm winding down. I saw "Arctic" recently. It's a...

I really liked "Green Book" and both Viggo and Mahershala in it. However, your comment about Viggo is funny. :lol: And about Mahershala -- it took me ages to realize he is the actor I used to watch in "The 4400"!! (Not always informed of all the actors' names in these large cast shows.)

And Rami is going to win Best Actor for that superior film. :P

I preferred "Bohemian Rhapsody" by far -- in fact, I plan to buy it tomorrow. "A Star is Born" irked me in a lot of ways, but I'm such a fan of the Streisand version. I think its only going to win Best Song for that kind of annoying song. (I'll give it another watch someday, maybe.) This...

Came back from Vegas a week ago. I went to see the Disturbed/Three Days Grace concert, which was great!! Unfortunately, I was under the weather my entire vacation. So I spent much of the days in bed watching basketball and reading books and just came out at night to watch my favorite Vegas...

Just back from Vegas. Pretty chilly, but I still spent hours standing outside watching the bands. Saw Thirty Seconds to Mars in concert. There were 4 hours of waiting and opening acts before them, so it tried my patience a lot. Especially since the opening acts -- a dj, guy singing "message"...

Yes, I've read several Jack Reacher novels and Tom Cruise is definitely not as physically described in the books. BUT, hey, it's Tom Cruise and the Reacher films were terrific. This reboot is for a TV series, btw, so it's not like it had any chance of continuing with Tom.

Mike, no time right now in the thick of the new TV season. But the good thing is that it won't go bad with time! I didn't even start watching "The Sopranos" until years after the series ended!! (And I had already heard about that ending.) I saw "A Star is Born" this weekend. First, I'm a...
