Reviews:
Dave C reviewed 'The Bourne Legacy' as he wants his money back; reviewed the new 'Batman' movie as he was disappointed by it & reviewed 'Manos, Hands of Fate' as the most enjoyable movie he saw this week - it was worth full price & he also reviewed a book - 'Guards, Guards' by Pratchett as really interesting and fun
Carole reviewed her brunch yesterday as positive & it weirded her out
Adrienne reviewed 'Moonlight Kingdom' as she enjoyed it - it's a cute little quirky movie & worth at least matinee & she reviewed the 1st season of 'Cheers' as it holds up and was worth what she paid for it
[evil] Kevin reviewed the Retrodome showing of 'Victor, Victoria' - as he had a great time there & it was worth full price - he also announced that he will be on a number of Worldcon panels & host a Kaffeeklatch; then HE was reviewed as looking lovely in drag at the Retrodome showing; Chuck agreed that [evil] Kevin looked gorgeous & that the movie was great
Mo reviewed the 'Grimm' season opener as TV's 1st furry show - with great characters and plot - & reviewed Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' as amazed with how much presentations citing the book have been changed over the years & recommends that people actually -read- the whole book - worth full price
We birthday auctioned off Bill for $6.00 to Carole & did other auctions
we adjourned at 9:12 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'In an alternate dimension, Phyllis Diller was in a 'Dr Who' episode, appearing as herself'
