the Oscar contenders; check https://3belowtheaters.com/

Howeird announced that this coming week is the Thai water festival of
Songkran, but it appears that it shan't be celebrated that much it appears


REVIEWS:
Yochanan reviewed 'Voyagers' as it was all right, not great & worth
matinee; he was a little disappointed because he paid full price = check
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyagers_(film);
then Yochanan reviewed a Netflix series 'Dark' with 3 seasons so far, as
he's seen season one & it's a German production & it is very dark somewhat
science fictional.  He finds it interesting and likes it <<Trey said a
terrible 'suspenseful' pun - that had a lot of strong reactions in the
chat>> - Ric recommends all 3 seasons;
then Yochanan reviewed 'It', the new one and he loved part one & then saw
part 2 & thought it was horrible

Howeird reviewed a 4K dongle, the Tivo 4K, as is advertised as having many
of the functions as Tivo & he finds it a complete fail - having features
similar to Amazon Fire but without many of the functions it possesses &
does not recommend

John O reviewed an HBO Max series 'The Nevers' as a supers series set in
the Victorian age & looks gorgeous, is mostly written by Josh Whedon & he
was bounced off the set after episode 6 because he was his typical self &
he rates it as watch at your own risk; check =

Valerie reviewed 'The Nevers' as it's sort of Victorian X-men & thought it
not the most amazingly wonderful thing ever & she reviewed Juda (on Hulu)
as a 'Israeli Vampire Show' doing vampire stuff - with lots of vampire &
werewolf cliches and clever bits about how the Jews protect themselves from
vampires

Fred reviewed the SJ Art Museum - open on Fri, Sat & Sun as he recommends
visiting for its various exhibits & it's nice to be back; plus he reviewed
visiting 3Below as it has pandemic seating & recommends visiting there &
they will be expanding their schedule - check their website - & reviewed
seeing 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' at 3Below as he enjoyed it

Gayle reviewed the David Crowder Band 'Come thou fount of every blessing'
as she likes it & it has a deep throbbing base line; check

Dave C reviewed 'Kong vs Godzilla' as what he wanted & expected &
'commended the film makers for their high level of scientific rigor'  ^_^

we adjourned at 8:40 pm

and the rumor of the week = 'San Jose - They might be giants'
