Reviews
Yochanan: Avatar: Fire and Ash (in theatres) 3h 17m long, but did not drag. Visually stunning. Follows on from the previous film (a little recap at the start). In this one some Navii are bad!!! Loved the 3D effects – especially in the water scenes. Satisfying conclusion. Worth full 3D price. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash
LoR annual holiday gathering. Saw some amazing clips (Destination: Dalek promo for S21 BluRay set). Gift exchange was nice – he got some nice things – and the club bought the dinner! Great meeting, great club, highly recommend. Worth full price+.
Lisa: Had fun. Presents not as magnificent. Fun episodes (one was Husbands of River Song x-mas special). lor.club
Lisa: Christmas in the Park (DT San Jose) Nice job this year. Her Odd Fellows tree has a skeleton putting on the top star. Closes this weekend!!! christmasinthepark.com
Kennita: Fantasy Light Show at Vasona. Fun drive through for about 45-min. Optional glasses for 3D-ish effects. Mostly secular motifs. Good animated light shows. $30 per car. Had a good time.
