Reviews
Yochanan: Movie (Prime?) Cosmoball (Russian) Interesting, if not OTT plot.
Titular sport is more than just a game. Watched the dubbed version with
subtitles, which is a mistake. Cute, not highly reccommend. Villian and
daughter remides of the villian in ST: Prodigy. Ok movie.
Boys Present Diabolical (prime). Based in the same universe as The Boys.
Animated, 8 x 15. Each episode is in a different style of animation. Gorss and
OTT violent, but is funny. Sometimes touching.
https://www.avclub.com/the-boys-presents-diabolical-review-1848583646 Should
watch the Boys first to know the universe.
Welcome to Mercy. Foriegn film in englis, set in latvia. Charater has stigmata,
sent to convent to be cured. Slow burn. More creepy than scary. Not bad, but
not great. Interesting movie. Good acting. Different.
Robyn: Spend the weekend at Festival of the Livingroom, the online FilkFest.
Fri-Sun concert fests. She and Fred enjoyed themselves. Next one will be toward
the end of September.
Howierd: Slept through the Livingrooms again… Books from Kindle: Ecogenesis
(ecogenesis
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09C8MBX2V/) Peopel in stasis scattered
throughout. Finding out who they are, and there’s a sabotage. Appears to be
self-published (paid .99)
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MZLQSXY/ against all odds Lt. AG is on
his last legs of the navy and is sent out to the edge of the system to command
a derelict ship. Compelling read, and has lack of editing. Every 5-6 pages it
rehashed the charater’s backstory. Was worth the free he paid.
The Island (4 or 5 of a series) Well edited. A lot of violence. Holds it’s own
without refernce to earlier. Worth the $4/5 paid.

Valerie: Been reading many mnay things: Sourdough by Robin Sloan is quirky
local baking fantasy. The Witch King by H.E. Edgmon is lovely teen queer
fantasy. T. Kingfisher's Nettle and Bone and Summer in Orcus are very pretty.
Rick: Nice words about Ms. Marvel. Every episode has been delightful. Family
dynamics great. Very evocative, music wonderful, artowrk great. Dialogue is
intelligent, well done. Has high hopes. Very delighted so far.
Tammi: Just finished Belle (Anime) it was georgous. Retelling of B&B with VR.
Vr in 3D, 2D for the “real” world. Plot was a little incomprehensible. I was a
love story, but not with the girl and beast. Many different love stories.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_(2021_film) Georgous, music is wonderful.
Recocomend, but not the best thing ever. You will cry. Yochana - saw it in
cinema. Loved it (reviewd it prior) Loved it, and worth cinema.
Gayle: Last night watched (H&I) ST:Voyager episode Tsunkatse. Crew on
shore-leave. Most wanted to go to a fight. 7 & Tuvok had bee captured and put
into this arena. Interesting, and close to a tearjerker ending.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunkatse
Rumor of the Week:
There's a wag in every meeting.
Adjourned at: 21:07
