Reviews
Lisa = Went to the 3 Below Theatres Open House on Friday. Newly redecorated. Theatre 1 is no longer Comedy Sportz – it is now a reading room. Filled with books. Theatre 2 additional move memorabilia. Fun seeing everything. Concentrating on little films. 3belowtheaters.com / sanjoseplayhouse.org
Yochanan = Ghostbusters Afterlife. 11/21 is Harold Ramis’ birthday. Liked it a lot. Love letter to Harold. Setup and build up was about 3/4 of the film. Centers on the kids. Full steam for the last 1/4. Fans of the original will enjoy. Fun movie. Full price. Less of a comedy, and more of a family story dealing with life after death.
The Wheel of Time (Prime) didn’t know the source material. Amazon dropped the first three episodes in one batch. First episode was too much exposition. The second was better. The third was really good. The rest will be released weekly on Fridays. Fantasy story set in a matriarchal society, not a time-travel series…
Howierd = Sunday visited National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. (nationalatomictestingmuseum.org) Comprehensive, huge, modern. The only congressionally mandated museum in Nevada. Thought of Chris Garcia when he walked in. Wall-to-wall-to-wall-to-wall info beautifully presented, and well lit (no flashes need for photography). Reasonably priced, and worth multiple visits. Flamingo Road near the UNLV campus, and convenient to the airport. Photos: flickr.com/photos/how3ird/albums/72157720168707096
-Craig: Was impressed when he went to it. Recommends.
Gayle = Star Trek: Miri. Children on planet where the adults have died. Enterprise needs to figure out some vaccine. Gripping. Banned on the BBC after its first airing in 1970. The ban was lifted in the ‘90s.
Gerald = Candy, Valerie, and he attended the Lynbrook HS holiday faire and sold some books. He used the pop-up tent he uses for a telescope shelter, an old table with folding legs and the rest of the Silicon Valley Author's stuff to create a passable vendor booth on bare ground! We even sold a few books, too!
Rumor of the Week: Even after all these years, "bustin" STILL makes me feel good.
