John O reviewed 'Tenet' that as a long-time fan of many genres, he found it confusing & he cannot recommend it & Yochanan followed on saying that he saw it in a drive-in & found the many dark scenes added to the confusion & thought it was worth matinee & had some interesting ideas & Lisa commented that several of her friends that have seen it say that it is more understandable when seen more than once
Gayle reviewed an attempt to order a meal for someone else thru Grubhub was quite frustrating since there was no option to list a delivery address as separate from her own address and she had to put that under details of food preparation
