Film #33 of the annual pass, a preview screening of Together.
Canny horror that feels like a reboot of Society in some ways. Nice to be an almost full screen with people who jump or laugh together. Horror is great as a shared experience.

The joy of the summer is listening to music and reading. Just finished my Status Quo book this afternoon (which took far too long as I wasn't making time to read). Decided to pick this one off the pile to read next.

Planning a couple of visits to the cinema this weekend. Need to catch up on 28 years and Jurassic Park. Both will be good on the big screen. Booked already as we left it too late last weekend and the good seats had gone.
