The San Jose Giants sales rep has let us know that the "fannish" theme games
this year are as follows: Saturday, May 23, 6 p.m. Star Wars Night ($49).
Friday, July 31, 7 p.m. Harry Potter Night ($59). These prices are for the
Martinelli’s VIP deck and include food, two drinks and dedicated service. The
May game is over the memorial day weekend, which means it overlaps with all the
conventions. The July 31 game also coincides with WorldCon in New Zealand.

interest. If we get a minimum of 15 people for either game we’ll book the
tickets for that game.

Reviews
Lisa
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: [no spoilers] Enjoyed a lot. Tied up loose
ends, and created some more. Not the best, but satisfactory ending. Would go
see again to catch things she missed. The Carrie Fisher problem was handled
very well.
Neil: 100%. Critics don’t rate this as high as The Last Jedi, but he thought
they did an excellent job. Main questions taken care of. It’s a given for
future movies (it’s Disney after all!)
DaveG: Seen it twice (regular and IMAX) Enjoyed the film. Ignored the plot
holes. Succeeded at being a nice entertaining movie. Couple teary moments.
Couple nice surprises. Worth senior IMAX price.
DaveG
Knives Out (free passes!) Detective story, murder mystery. Enjoyed it. Lot of
fun. Unexpected happenings. New perspective on Captain America. Recommend at
full price.
Spring: Excited since the previews came out. Did a lot of casting against type.
Daniel Craig as a souther detective - chews the scenery. Chris Evans was really
against type. Well done thematically.
[No one had seen Cats.]
Auction
Meeting was adjourned at 20:54 and the rumor was: Deleted dialogue, from Kylo
to Rey: “You complete me.”
