Dave
C reviewed 'Shaknado' as 'everything you expected and less', [evil]
Kevin commented it will be re-shown Thursday - and many comments about
jumping the sharks followed; then Dave reviewed 'Pacific Rim' as fun
with giant robots fighting giant monsters - the consensus being it it
was fun & worth paying extra for the 3D - STAY for the Easter egg;
then Dave reviewed Robinson's '2312' as he didn't like it enough to
finish it
Brad reviewed 'World War Z' as neither good nor bad, worth matinee
Dave G reviewed Readercon as quite interesting
Rick Moen reviewed Au Contraire in New Zealand as lots of fun
Carole reviewed 'Garrison Keillor' as very much Prairie Home Companion &
catered to an older crown and worth full price
Chris
reviewed California Extreme Video & Pinball as it equalled his
dreams, worth awesomeness, even if it gave him a headache, JC agreed
& then he reviewed a mini-film-festival as fun
Valerie reviewed 'Much Ado About Nothing' as it was nice and Whedon-y - worth
matinee
Adrienne
reviewed 'Now you See Me' as glitzy and she 'guessed I had fun while I
watched it' - as so-so; Chris reviewed it as 'the air conditioning was
nice' & worth full price
Lisa reviewed Westercon as the most
fun she's had in a long time & she liked the panels, Carole had a
good time, Bill was entertained & the Con Suite was fantasic
I reviewed 'The Lone Ranger' as I enjoyed it and thought it was worth full
price just for Silver
[evil] Kevin reviewed playing a game of 'Wizard Sticks' as he had fun and won't
need to do it ever again
then we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:56 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'My cod, it's full of sharks'
