Chris reviewed breakfast as quite pleasant and the Spam hash as awesome and reviewed 'Skyfall' as beautifully written and well-acted and there was a dog & that the best Blueray he now owns is 'Company'
Lisa reviewed 'Wreck It Ralph' as wonderful and worth seeing twice - worth full price & Trey followed, saying that he enjoyed it and thought it worth high matinee
I reviewed 'Argo' as a very good adaptation of real-world events, well acted and to stay and see the end credits to hear the bit from Jimmy Carter - worth full price - Trey followed that it was not typical escapism and thought that it was well done
Dave C reviewed 'Snuff' by Terry Pratchett as fun with Samuel Vimes & he greatly enjoyed it & thought it worth full price in whatever format you find it in & also reviewed a restraunt review in last week's NY Times as being full of questions
Mo reviewed a delightful Sunday afternoon spent at Adrienne's father's place, watching things get printed as really something to see
Ken reviewed the 'Game Show Show' again as it ended somewhat tearfully & was still great
We did auctions
we adjourned at 9:18 pm
