John O announced that "wild Cards' may come to TV in the next couple years
Reviews:
JC reviewed 'Suicide Squad' as he thought it sucked, except for Harley & Deadshot - who were both excellent - rated it a 'D' with a bad script, worth cheap matinee; I followed & said it was the first DC flick I've enjoyed in more than 10 years & would pay to see it again & Trey rated it worth matinee; then JC reviewed Disneyland as he recommends the 4-day park-hopper passes, he really likes the new Star Wars stuff & recommends fast passes & the light show - definitely worth full price
John O reviewed 'Zombies versus Aliens versus Vampires versus Dinosaurs' again as it stays a fun read thru the end & reviewed 'Henrik and the Shaman' by Bjold as highly recommended
Diane reviewed a Kickstarter-sponsored book 'Lightspeed' as she highly recommend it & reviewed 'Power of the Mind' as terrible
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:22 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'Helsinki will serve Cloudberry reindeer hot sauce in the hot sauce challenge'
