How they get that much old machinery on set is always amazing to me.No salt on California roads. |

That was my imagination of California until somebody here told about this famous mountain pass in California.How they get that much old machinery on set is always amazing to me.No salt on California roads. Old cars can be preserved and stored somewhere if somebody believes it can be profitable. But what's really hard for today's movie directors is to find suitable street locations which look authentic, to represent an era which is long since gone. Yes, you can do that in studios... but a well made movie also features natural lights, large panoramic scenes. I'm really amazed if I see that perfectly done in nowadays movies. |

Finally I have found a movie that the kitties can give a full 5 paws recommendation for. The Vault, 2021. And do not confuse this with another movie, also titled The Vault, dated 2017. Very well done, and loads of excitement throughout. Kitty tested, fully kitty approved. Enjoy. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Let me warn you.............. The 2017 movie of the same name is not at all of the same entertainment value. From the get-go, it consists of a bunch of low life a**hole *unts that don't care who or how much they hurt others. Not on the same level at all. Meow.

I just had a thought.... Use the "Happy Kitty Scale", say -5 to +5, minus numbers indicating that the Kitties are unpleased with the film and positive numbers indicating increasingly happy to watch the film (+5 being "we'd watch his film all day"). Just an idea. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Mark, thanks for sharing your story. I find myself just having to go numb to get through my week. I am an introvert by nature. But this week I had to confront the Pentagon, two Indian tribes, and a County about putting transmission lines through their land. I just put on my lawyer hat and ignore my internal dialog. Hope the haircut came out ok. I have to wait to see if my offers are accepted. |

Good luck Carlos. Indians can get very NIMBY about their land access.

Good luck Carlos. Indians can get very NIMBY about their land access. We have offered them more than I think they were expecting. The tribal chairman is pushing to get approval or our offer. |
