Reviews
Yochanan:
Percy Jackson & the Olympians (D+) 8 part series. Loved it. Only complaint is
some of the gods look too human. The kids are the heart & soul.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Jackson_and_the_Olympians_(TV_series)
A Quantum Love Story by Mike Chen (local author). Page turner. Unfortunate
title (blame the publisher). About a couple of characters stuck in a time-loop.
Very interesting.

Orion and the Dark (Netflix/Dreamwork) animated film. Similar to Inside Out, in
personification of concepts (like Dark, Insomnia &c…) Interesting film. Script
by Charlie Kaufman, based on a children’s book.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_and_the_Dark Would pay to see in theatre.
Lisa:
PEERS Dance was a resounding success. Sold out + some observation tickets.
Music was excellent. was tired, exhausted and very happy.
Rick:
Argylle (2024 film, currently in cinemas) is a spoof spy comedy thriller with
meta-layer complications to a degree I'm calling it SFnal. Bryce Dallas Howard
is a the protag, a meek author of spy thrillers, and a great cast including Sam
Rockwell are a lot of fun in it. Very silly and fluffy, but deliberately so.
Full price.
Rumor of the Week:
The only thing harder than finding someone in a time loop is losing them
