Lisa announced that Richard Donner died, check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Donner
& announced that the Westercon Tonopah 2022 committee meets next Saturday, July 10 - get hold of Kevin Standlee if interested
REVIEWS:
Rick reviewed a Netflix series, 'Ragnarok', a Norwegian production & is described as 'scenery porn' with gorgeous Western Norway scenic locations & it's very good, check = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnarok_(TV_series)
Alan reviewed 'Tomorrow War' with Chris Pratt on Amazon Prime as akin to 'Independence Day' mixed with 'Dr Who', but really good & he's enjoying it a lot, highly recommended & Yochanan followed, saying he agrees & enjoys the acting & use of time travel in a 'popcorn science' sort of way
Dave C reviewed 'Iron Sky' as the plot is truly, truly BAD - not recommended; there were comments explaining some of its background
Yochanan reviewed having seen the full 1st season of 'Rick & Morty' as it's profane but entertaining & contains meta-humor. He likes that there is some continuity & it's not for children, highly recommends it; Rick comments that the same creative team is doing the 'Loki' mini-series
Howeird reviewed the EVA done by the Chinese space station as he is impressed with the quality of their video;
& also reviewed watching fireworks presentations on various channels - that CNN did a good job showing the fireworks & PBS just didn't get that they were supposed to SHOW the fireworks & the best was ABC from New York that went on for almost an hour and was really well done. He said the local Las Vegas show was put on in coordination among the casinos & was really good & well covered - showing the fireworks and not the talking heads;
& Yochanan followed that he really enjoyed Howeird's back drop - as did I
we adjourned at 8:41 pm
and the rumor of the week = 'Ken contains multitudes'
