Gerry announced that SpaceX had an entirely normal splash down landing today & announced that he is going to OryCon this year & should have one a new edition of one of his books available before con & announced that he has had his 3rd shot
REVIEWS:
John O reviewed 'the Eternals' on the big screen & in 3D, as the 3D did nothing in particular for the movie, the movie was entertaining with some really slow parts & lots of talk-talk & that the story was all over the place. He recommends seeing it if you want information for Marvel's 'Phase 4' & said 'remember to stay for the cookies' & that it looked like the actors enjoyed playing their roles, but don't spend extra to see it, although it was worth normal full price. Yochanan opined that yes, it was long and was full of exposition & the other Marvel references seemed forced & that it was a good but not a great movie and was very inclusive.
there was a loud, shouty section then
Lisa reviewed 'Dune' as she finally saw the movie and enjoyed it immensely. She thought it was a good adaptation & noted that the movie was well-attended
Howeird reviewed a technology event - trying out the new Las Vegas monorail & reported there were several fails - that the cellphone pay system did not work well & he found the monorail ride to be rather bumpy, though he explained that he was spoiled by the smooth ride he has had on the Seattle monorail. In general he found the experience otherwise enjoyable
John O reported that 'Dune' was bumped from 1st place by 'Eternals', but it was still close to the number one spot and is far out-pacing the other movies that have came out in the past 2-3 weeks for box office earnings
Yochanan reviewed the 2nd season of Netflix's 'Locke & Key' as he really enjoyed it and binge-watched the full season. He considers it to be a great series & then reviewed 'No Time to Die' as long & a really nice send off for Daniel Craig & really liked it
Rick reviewed the 'Foundation' TV adaptation as having progressed from being a train wreck to a multi-car train wreck
we adjourned at 8:38 pm
and the rumor of the week = 'The Marvel Universe is expanding faster than the Milky Way'
