Miss Manners 6/9

DEAR MISS MANNERS: With work-related social events happening again in person, I will likely face unwanted attention over my beverage selection. I very rarely consume alcohol because of its unpleasant aftereffects on me (even from small quantities).

Game On: Amid shifting shooting game landscape, Bungie to reboot Marathon

UPDATED: Thu., June 8, 2023

May’s PlayStation Showcase saw the announcement of Marathon, the next game from Bungie, the Bellevue-based developer best known for creating Halo and Destiny. A reboot, the original trilogy was released in 1994-96 exclusively for Mac OS and largely flew under the radar. However, it was well-received critically and set the stage for Bungie to create the Halo franchise.

Can a baby bridge the great divide between liberals and conservatives in ‘Human Error’?

UPDATED: Thu., June 8, 2023

Conflict abounds throughout the inspired “Human Error.” Eric Pfeffinger’s comedic play is about two very different couples with the same problem – infertility – and the same goal – starting a family. There are the NPR devotees, with a taste for Starbucks, who are liberals. The other pair are proud conservatives, who are NRA members who tool around in trucks.

House Call: Alcohol use and new thinking about drinking

Many of us enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail without giving it much thought, but checking in on your alcohol consumption can and should be a routine part of your wellness care. While a drink can be relaxing or celebratory at first, drinking more can result in adverse health effects such as stress, poor sleep and over the long-term, drinking that is not in control.

It’s worth revisiting Jurassic Park just for Jeff Goldblum

UPDATED: Thu., June 8, 2023

Jeff Goldblum is tall for an actor but short for a dinosaur. Even though Goldblum is dwarfed by the gigantic reptiles in “Jurassic Park,” the veteran entertainer, who is 6-foot-4, routinely steals scenes in the original film and its sequels.

Movie Review: Hollow ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ lacks soul, sense

UPDATED: Thu., June 8, 2023

The “Transformers” film franchise, spawned in 2007 with Michael Bay’s “Transformers,” was one of the first straight-faced blockbuster franchises based on a toy (and an '80s cartoon series). It is now, astonishingly, seven films deep with the release of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” which is both a prequel to “Transformers” and a sequel to 2018’s “Bumblebee,” which was set in 1987. "Rise of the Beasts," set in 1994, is also based on the “Transformers: Beast Wars” media franchise of comic books and anime, which introduced the Maximal characters, alien robots that look like giant animals, not shape-shifting cars.

What to Stream: Celebrate Pride Month with shows and films featuring diverse queer stories

UPDATED: Thu., June 8, 2023

June is Pride Month, a celebration of LGBTQ+ pride and commemoration of the history of the fight for gay rights. Pride Month was started after the 1969 Stonewall riots sparked a series of gay liberation protests, and unfortunately, more than 50 years later, Pride Month has taken on a new resonance as the civil rights of queer and transgender people are being rolled back at an alarming rate in the United States.

Movie Review: ‘Dalíland’ chooses wrong perspective for portrait of artist’s later years

UPDATED: Thu., June 8, 2023

Sometimes real historical figures are so grand and eccentric that, like the rare and special occurrence of a solar eclipse, it seems that one can only view them through a pinhole, their light too bright to fully take in. Such is the case in the biopic “Dalíland,” directed by Mary Harron, written by her husband John C. Walsh, which is not much more than a peek at the life of the legendary Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí (Ben Kingsley) and his equally ostentatious wife, muse and manager, Gala (Barbara Sukowa).

Miss Manners: Who’s responsible for car clutter?

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I was riding in the passenger seat of my husband’s car and after a few minutes noticed something wet in my seat. It turns out I had sat on a packet of bleach disinfectant wipes and they had been leaking. This ruined my favorite pair of jeans.
