Reviews
Robyn = Amazon Prime , on a service called Bix. Y llegaron de noche, a drama about the making of the Spanish language Dracula.
Gerald = Just got back from OryCon. Gave a presentation, and sold four books. Put on a a version of Contact (and a long running academic tract, with an alien meeting simulation). Rest of the con went swimmingly. Doubletree was better than he remembered (though meal service on the weekend needs work).
Gayle: Excellent panels, knowledgeable people. A lot more meetings she wished she’d gone to. Very well done.
Lisa: Some of her friends found out they were on panels when the program was published – and they hadn’t even bought memberships! (naturally, they didn’t show up).
He and Gayle watched a reshowing of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Liked it, generally pretty good. Seems different from the what they remember in the cinema.
Gayle: Was confused by it. Some of it seemed familiar.
Yochanan = The Ark (Peacock) Space show. About 100 years in the future. Atmosphere is a mess, so we sent out an ark into space. Dean Devilyn production (50% RT score). Liked it. 2 season of 12 episodes. Recent series, with an old feeling. Only junior officers survived, so a young group of command personnel. Silly, doesn’t take itself seriously, but great character development. May or may not have a third season.
Super-man: The Christopher Reeve Story. Wonderful documentary. Heartfelt, wonderful portrait of a super man. Worth full price.
Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. Lots and lots of fun. It was last weekend. You get to see the large pumpkin winner, along will pumpkin food items. Recommends if you can go next year (worth the traffic and parking).
Lisa: Her daughter goes every year, and loves it (they live in the area). Warning, you might want to go up on Friday, and leave on Monday.
Rick: Agatha All Along (D+) Ensemble cast series. 9 episodes? Up to the sixth. Exceptional witting and cast.
Rumor of the Week: Blue light special on pumpkins in Half Moon Bay.
Adjourned at: 20:??
There was an auction.
