Lisa announced that her niece had twin girls and was part of a 'Good Morning America' segment on babies born on Nov 11 = 'Baby oh Baby'
Reviews:
I reviewed 'Elder Scrolls V = Skyrim' as a truly lovely game and that everything = except the elves - is gorgeous
Ken mentions a rumor of a 'Dr Who and the Deathly Hallows-ish'-themed movie & reviewed 'Tardus Eruditorum' - a psycho-chonological timeline of the Dr Who series - as pretty darned good - check www.tarduseruditorum.blogspot,com
[recently evil] Harold reviewed “Tower Heist” as a comedy caper flick with some laughs, a good film and worth matinee - & reviewed 'Melancholia' as a surprisingly good, depressing film, worth the $7.00 he paid for it
John reviewed the 1st show for 'Primeval' this season as wooden, poorly done & disappointing & reviewed the Mighty Giants concert as it rocked & he met lots of people he knows there; Josh followed, saying it was a good show with a high percentage of 'woot' shirts in evidence
Valerie reviewed the summary of her forthcoming book 'Buffy and the Heroine's Journey' as great & the book is due out May or June ... ish
Chuck reviewed a French film, 'Love Crime' as enjoyable and recommended
Chris reviewed the 'Bal des Vampires' as having vampires and stuff - with elk all over the place - and awesome fun & reviewed 'Reamde' by Neal Stephenson as really entertaining and worth reading & reviewed 'Childrens Hospital' on Adult Swim as 'genius stuff' - worth TV being created
Howeird reviewed a free book on Facebook - 'Endeavor in Time' by Chris Hambleton as worth $.025 with some time travel stuff as good but the proselytizing as bad with a too-abrupt non-ending
Diane reviewed 'Wizards' by Willis as worth full price
Josh reviewed 'Immortals' as a 'turn-your-brain-off-and-it's-fun' kind of movie, done in 3D and it's pretty, worth full price - but not 3D full price
We did auctions
we adjourned at 9:24 pm
