ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Dave C announced that 'The Watch' is kind of coming to the Syfy channel, but with ... adaptations & that according to Pratchett's daughter it 'shares no DNA with Pratchett's work'
Ken announced that Dr Who will be on Jan 1 on a variety of channels, 'Revolution of the Daleks'
& there was some discussion as an excuse for puns ... so many puns
Howeird announced that according to his calendar tomorrow is a full moon
Lisa announced that today was Harold's 82nd birthday
REVIEWS:
Howeird reviewed season 5 of 'The Expanse', which is now available, but opined that you should probably see the other seasons first & he was not impressed with either the lighting, the plot or the acting & Yochanan followed, saying that he has also seen the same episodes and really enjoyed them. Gerry commented that he doesn't enjoy the tendency to film so much in the dark
Yochanan reviewed the 1st 2 seasons of 'The Mandalorian' has he's never really been a Star Wars fan, but really, really has enjoyed the whole show & this surprised him & also reviewed a TV movie 'We Can Be Heroes' as very formulaic, a kid movie & is worth free for kids with low expectations
John O reviewed 'The Mandalorian' as, if you like it, be sure to see the Disney Plus 'Disney Gallery' which is a 'making-of' for the series & then reviewed 'Wonder Woman 1984' as it falls a little flat, but there are some very good scenes. It does not lend itself to the small screen & he recommends it & then reviewed 'Soul' as a wonderful movie & also recommends it
Gerry reviewed having duck for dinner for Christmas worked very well with the way Gayle chose to cook it - as doing so with it upright, so that the fat cooks out and ends up in the pan & can be used later
Dave C commented that 'Wonder Woman 1984' is actually showing at several theaters ... some rather far afield
we adjourned at 8:30 pm
and the rumor of the week = 'The tunnel at the end of the light'
