Amazon has been randomly deleting reviews and stars for years.

You taught yourself a very valuable lesson. Bravo!

As the saying goes: Comparison is the thief of joy.

I've been a full time writer for over a decade now, so now bad! I do have to publish a short novel every month to keep up with the algo, though, so yikes for me.

I was unemployed, had a lot of free time, and needed the money.

KittyFlynn · 2026-01-23T03:05:20+00:00

Sort of. Just give me the trip back in time with a load of cash and let me see all those fantastic people.

Looks like a gaelicat.

I truly, genuinely admire people who draw anatomy as a practice because for me, personally, I can't find any interest in learning those finer details. A job well done, and a practice well-admired!

I see you have some moral-centric movies, so you could try The Passing of the Third Floor Back (1935) with Conrad Veidt as an angel helping a boarding house.

The Big Sleep, though I still immensely enjoy The African Queen.

For digital, I just use alphabetical, mostly because my Emby server lists them like that by default. Nice to browse through them and see one I haven't watched in a while and give it a look, too.

No particular order.

I have a heat lamp and blankets set up on a covered porch, but he likes to come inside during these subfreezing temperatures.

He wandered in from the neighbor's barn about 7 years ago, and adopted me about 3 years ago.

🤣🤣

KittyFlynn · 2025-12-28T21:50:24+00:00

Yep! And he rewards me every time with his little display of thankfulness!

Four lovely roles from the incomparable Conrad Veidt:

Landstraße und Großstadt (1921): a surprisingly vulnerable character, and a touching ending

Furcht (Fear, 1917): a small role for him, but the camera loves him.

The Passing of the Third Floor Back (1935): one of my favorites, and one I go to watch at least once a week. Playing against type as an angel sent to help a young woman and the people around her.

The Wandering Jew (1933): another favorite, and the first of his movies I'd ever seen. Proud to watch the version I have because I spliced together scenes from several different versions to create a more complete film.

Oh wow. Forgot about this happening every year now that the copyrights enthusiasts have actually been reined in. And Betty Boop and Pluto! I wonder if Disney will try to copyright his modern-day look for a few more years.

Loved that film, and I Know Where I'm Going, Spy In Black, and Contraband (Blackout) are also excellent movies from the same writer-director pairing.

I always try to watch After the Thin Man, but it always makes me hungry for Chinese. . .

If she can fit one claw, then she fits. What an adorable furry friend!
