The KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival (Foothill College) Lots of fum. Different,
interesting. Wide age range of ages. Longer than expected, but has an
intermission. Wonderful raffle. Kooky things – including Flintstones for
Winston!. Lot of little interesting shorts. Glad he went. Full price.

A Complete Unknown (D+?) Partial biopic of Bob Dylan, with Timothee Chalomet
(singing and acting). Suffers from it just being a small slice, around the time
he went electric. Didn’t learn much about him. A little long, but didn’t feel
too long. Recommend. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Complete_Unknown

28 Years Later (in cinemas) sequel to 28 days (and its sequel) Not dependent on
the earlier ones. Young actors are great. Sets up possible sequels. Paid
matinee, but worth full price. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Years_Later

Murderbot (TV+) 8/10 of the first season. Pitched as an weird adventure comedy
(therefore 30 min eps) but doesn’t seem short. Based on The Murderbot Diaries
by Martha Wells. There’s a show within a show, as the robot studied humans from
a television show. A triumph, well done.

Rumor of the Week:
It’s rumored that there’s a BayCon coming up.
Adjourned at: 20:34
There was an auction
