Reviews 
Fred   
   - SJ Museum of Art has an interesting display of Tommy Smith inspired 
artwork. Highly recommend (second level). There’s also, in the old section, San 
Jose and  SJSU Athletics displays.

Diane   
   - Thursday was Planetary Robotics event. Speakers were great. Fantastically 
interesting people.

John   
   - Weathering With You (movie) by Makoto Shinkai. Light romcom mixed with 
magical realism. Young boy falls in love with a girl who can control the 
weather. Visually gorgeous. Not a deep story. Highly recommend.
   - The Black Ships (book) by A G Claymore. Billed as an alien invasion novel. 
Roughly near future. Aliens invade a Mars colony. Military SF thriller, not 
deep but engaging. “Free or Cheap” on Kindle. Now onto second in the series.
   - Lost in Space (netflix) S1 & 2. Enjoying the first season, but the second 
one really takes off. Characters are all developed, and you can now ride the 
freight train. Binged season 2 in three nights. Highly recommend it.

Stephen   
   - Chasing the Moon by A. Lee Martinez. Very fun story about a young woman 
who moves to LA, but her closet is occupied by a demon.
   - Went to MST3K Live on Thursday. Joel’s final tour. MST3K is 10 times more 
fun live!
   
   - John: Sketchfest had a follow-on panel about their appearance at 
sketchfest.

Andrew   
   - Cant say anything about Doctor Who without spoiling it. 2 episodes in a 
row really enjoyed (Tesla & Judoon)
   - Aniara. Swedish Sci-Fi film. Passenger ship from Earth to Mars thrown off 
course. Linear but not classic three act structure. Based on a ‘50s epic poem.
   - Addams Family (animated feature) If you like the Addams Family through all 
it’s incarnations, it’s for you. Captures the style of Charles Addams’ 
cartoons. Wackiness of the TV series. References to the best parts of the films.
   
   - Kevin: Thought it would be just a time filler, but proved to be a 
different film than the beginning made it out to be.
   
   - Never Surrender. Galaxy Quest documentary. Charming. A must for Galaxy 
Quest fans.
   
   - Lisa: Saw the theatrical showing. Absolutely adored it.
   
   - Muppet Guys Talking. Five Muppet performers talking.
   - Color Out Of Space. Adaptation of Lovecraft. Really good adaptation. 
Deranged and twisted with Nicholas Cage at his Nicholas Caginess.
   - Thunderbirds Are Go! Latest 3 episodes.
   - Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Latest season so far solid.

Ken & Jerry   
   - A Dolls House Part 2. Ibsen’s characters, but not Ibsen. Little lighter 
than the original, but you don’t need to know the original (might be 
preferable!) Playing through Sunday.

DaveG   
   - Saturday went to Skecthfest in San Franciso to see Rob Paulson & Maurice 
Lamarch (Pinky & The Brain) in a 2-hour interview. Pinky & The Brain may be 
coming back (narf!)


Auction 
Meeting was adjourned at 21:00 and the rumor was: David Clark is fondle worthy.
