Catch up with chum, ale, food then Jaws 50th anniversary screening on the big IMAX screen. Seen it many times but never in a cinema, different experience.
Still felt tense despite the fact we knew what happens, a sign of damned good film work. Young woman sitting near us told us it was the first time she'd ever seen it, and was wowed by this fifty year old flick.

Happy #MayThe4thBeWithYou to my fellow geeks who celebrate, especially those of us who are original generation #StarWars , stood in those lines way back in the 70s to see it, tried to get any of those exciting new action figures we could, and who still have that distinctive sound of a lightsaber forever burned into their memories.
This evening's viewing distraction: the bizarre 1973 French-Czech animated film, Planete Sauvage

This evening's viewing distraction: a revisit to Coppola's remarkable Apocalypse Now.
That opening alone is still an amazing bit of cinema, the jungle view erupting into flame as the Doors play, the helicopter sounds seguing into a roof fan in a hotel... Genius.

This evening's viewing distraction: The Conversation, Coppola's fascinating muse on the Watergate era intrigues, with an amazing performance from the late Gene Hackman. (it's on the BBC iPlayer should anyone else want to watch it)
