I’ve seen 11 of these. Great selection of Noir in here that I’ve been wanting to see for some time. Scarlet Street in particular because I love Lang! And Marty Ivers and DOA were also films I’ve been wanting to see. Altogether, a nice mix of genre and decades.
Edit: His Girl Friday, Charade, Penny Serenade and The Frorn Page also stuck out to me as films I’ve been wanting to see at some point.



I didn't even know Cheetos came in chicken flavor, very interesting.
According to Google, they're actually "American Turkey" flavored.



I got them from Funny Face as part of the $5.00 gift exchange she insists on doing every year.



I have got nothing yet. I didn't go over to my mom's today because of the whole covid thing. My nephew's wife is a firefighter and she cant be around people who recently had covid. My daughter did go and has my holiday card from my mom with a $50 dollar bill in it.

My daughter said she would get me something later.
My son never gets anyone anything but himself. I tell him I dont care if he gets me anything but he should buy his sister something. He's 35 years old and she's 27 years old.



Sorry to see that Rodent wishing you the best Christmas you can have under the circumstances.



Yeah should be ok I think. Been sickly since around Monday, managed to get a test sent out, arrived today.

I've kinda been isolating since Monday though when the sickness started apart from having to pay some bills this morning.
Wore a mask and a scarf when I did it though to try and be as safe as possible but now I got confirmation I'll be locking up for 10 days or so.

Can't believe how crap TV is though... DVDs it is methinks



I hope you feel better soon, Rodent. Had a few friends with it and they've all felt pretty terrible, but like a proper flu though, thankfully, no need for anything other than bedrest. Got a friend with a really bad case of Long Covid though. I hope that doesn't happen to you. Stay safe mate.

Sorry dude. I guess there's some silver linings/bells in that it's naturally time off from normal obligations anyway, but still a bummer in most ways I imagine. Hang in there, hope it isn't too bad, rest up!



You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
