REVIEWS:

Yochanan reviewed a movie 'Suzume' - an animated coming of age movie that
he enjoyed a great deal & saw at an AMC theatre.  He paid matinee & would
have paid full.  The movie is shown in either dubbed or subtitled form
for more info check = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16428256/
     & he also reviewed the movie 'Renfield', with Nicolas Cage, as a very
gory comedy, but done with much good humor.  He thought it was a fun
popcorn movie & worth matinee
     & he also reviewed the season finale for the current season of 'The
Mandalorian' as there were some good cameos, but the plot meandered around,
leaving the plot flawed

Rick reviewed season 1 of a series called 'Poker Face', showing on Peacock,
as a Columbo-like "howdunit" take on murder plots, superb writing and
acting, with great cameos, marvelous and delicious plot twists.  Natasha
Lyonne, recently in 'Russian Doll', stars.  The show has already been
enthusiastically renewed, has 99% on Tomatometer.

Gerry reviewed the questionably successful launch attempt of the SpaceX
starship as it got 34 miles up, did not separate & exploded.  He says there
was a big hole where the rocket exhaust went.  The pad, stage 0, was
tested, the rocket, not so  much.  Most information  seems contradictory.
Wait for the smoke and dust to clear.
      Robin commented that it was a “Unscheduled Disassembly”; Craig
commented that it is a typical SpaceX launch;  Rick commented that "Rapid
Unscheduled Disassembly" is the full, glorious phrase.  Duncan commented
that this is the 'rocket a day' sort of experimentation that has some
scientific validity

Robin reviewed 'Puss In Boots - the Last Wish' as a delightful animated
film with a similar to comic book-like art style that highlighted the
action sequences nicely.  She recommends the film highly & considers it
worth full price for the DVD

Lisa reviewed CostumeCon 39 FROM the Dead Dog party, saying there was a
good turn out & she had a great time

we adjourned at 8:29pm

and the rumor of the week was = 'Oops!'
