Reviews:
[evil] Kevin reviewed the 2nd episode of the new 'Flash Gordon' as
'Cleopatria 2250' was better and that's it - there won't be a 3rd
episode for him
Chris reviewed 'Stardust' as it didn't suck, was entertaining [Frank Wu
follow-on'd = 'It's great!" and Dave G called it a good date movie],
then Chris reviewed a 'Fanboy Planet' podcast without him as because he
wasn't there it was great;
Dave C reviewed Wing and picked up 'Wing Sings Elvis' and 'Beatles
Classics by Wing' and says she sings in a high voice and hits the high
notes, except where she misses them, but if you like this sort of thing
then get it & he reviewed 'Hex' [on BBC America] as very British
Adrienne reviewed 'Jekyll' [on BBC America] as pretty gripping and the
main character is done very well; she recommends and can't wait for the
finale
Harold reviewed Annie Leon's book 'Working from IX to V' as interesting
& reviewed James Burke's 'American Connections' as worth paperback and
not bad & reviewed Showtime's 'Californication' [a sex comedy] as worth
watching on cable - funny and filthy
Frank Wu reviewed the Museum of Science Fiction as really interesting
and the museum has one of his paintings there - worth full price [there
were follow-ons]
Dave G reviewed the Las Vegas version of 'Spamalot' among the crap
tables as shorter than the Broadway show with no intermission, but worth
what they paid
David reviewed 'Sunshine' [a movie about reigniting the sun] as full of
plot holes, recreation physics & coincidences - as worth seeing the
first half of & he can't recommend it [there were many neeping follow-ons]
Then Julie announced there's a Legion of Rasselon meeting this Friday at
1st and Trimble
[tall Kevin] also announced that there is a brand new Hugo award website
open just last night = www.thehugoawards.org & the reviews have been
generally favorable
Frank Wu introduced David Sherman who was visiting us for the first time
