ANNOUNCEMENTS:
none
REVIEWS:
Rick reviewed 'The Book of Boba Fett' as it's turning into season 3 of 'The Mandalorian' - to its credit - & rated as worth your time;
he also reviewed 'Star Trek Protege' as the writing keeps improving & he really enjoys it
Yochanan reviewed an exhibit in SF at the Palace of Fine Arts, 'The Art of Banksy', which collects much of his art, as really worth full price. The exhibit ends Feb 27. There were many follow-ons, including Rick's recommendation of 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' & Craig's mention of 'The Monkey Wrench Gang' by Edward Abbey;
Yochanan also reviewed the movie 'Needle in a Time Stack' on Amazon Prime as time travel light with a mopey love story & not terrible, but not really great;
and Yochanan reviewed 'Time's Convert' by Deborah Harkness as there were some interesting concepts, but he got lost while reading it & thinks it is okay for a romance, but there was no time travel. He got it for free and thinks it was worth full price;
and Yochanan reviewed a Japanese anime movie called 'Belle', as really good and beautiful, involving virtual reality, social media and an interesting take on the 'Beauty and the Beast' story & highly recommended it
Lisa reviewed the first Mythopoeic Society's Midwinter Seminar designed for being online as they started at 9am for the Central time zone, but she still enjoyed being able to attend. She hopes they continue online seminars since that allows for a greater ability to participate
Craig reviewed a show on HBO Max, about a hit-man from Cleveland called 'Barry' as a little bizarre, a little dark, somewhat comic and recommended
Howeird reviewed 'Bob's Saucer Repair', a book by Jerry Boyd, as it contains romance and humor. He thinks that it was more than worth the price he paid, which was a deal price on Kindle & John O also recommends the book
