Just for clarification I said that 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' was
intense; it is not a comedy. What I enjoyed was the Lox and Cream Cheese
on Beyond hot dog. It is good to find a movie venue which has
interesting food items beyond the usual popcorn and candy.

Yochanan announced that 3Below is now open once again & is showing many
of 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
https://www.tivo.com/products/stream-4k
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 =
https://www.hbo.com/the-nevers
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDbllO1LrvM
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'
