Reviews
Yochanan = 3Below Theatres (https://3belowtheaters.com): Last week tried to see Promising Young Woman. Theatre had technical difficulty with the projector. Gave voucher for another movie and $10 at the cafe. Plus a code to watch the film online. SnackBar: BeyondMeat Braut. Delicious. Great service.
Promising Young Woman, with Cary Mulligan (Sally Sparrow from DW) Dark movie. Liked it. Worth full price
Juddah. Israeli vampire flick. Funny, gruesome. Neat twist.
Attack on Titan. Interesting anime. Lots of adventure, violence, and giants.
Gerald = SpaceX return. Night. Cameras were good enough to capture everything (except obscured by clouds). Amazing. Seemed much faster than last time.
Kamala Harris is going to head the space council. Air Force, NASA and other US efforts.
Starlink Launch: Getting routine. Interesting, getting the job done.
JohnO = Went to see a movie in a theatre for the first time in over a year! Theatre booking with automatic buffers. Godzilla v. Kong. Worth it to see on the big screen. Having seen it before was able to pick up on new things. Cinemark made some upgrades, as the sound sounded better than it used to in this auditorium (though it may be because they hadn’t been in a long time). No more self-serve at the snack bar. Can tell by the smell that they’ve been sanitizing. Worth full price (even though this was a matinee).
Yochanan : Loved that movie too. Recommends in a theatre, XD if possible.
His Dark Materials, Amazon. Bingeing a couple episodes a night. Mysteries well handled, characters fleshed out. Visually beautiful. Highly recommend.
Yochanan. Really loves the series (never read the books). Acting is great. Highly recommend.
Rumor of the Week: Kamala Harris first VP to go into space.
