Saw Jaws in the cinema for the first time tonight and damn, it makes such a difference! And all the better to see it at the rejuvenated @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social .
Tom and I left the screen grinning, looked at one another, laughed, and parted with a hug and a promise to do it again soon.

Also booked more #Halloween film treats for me and some chums, as @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social has the 4k restoration of John Carpenter's astonishing SF-horror, The Thing (which will be quite a contrast with the Lon Chaney Phantom of the Opera the day before!)

Hi Ross, you are free to sit in the seats you booked however we won't be enforcing this - this is in order to offer our members more than one ticket per person, which would've meant people couldn't sit alongside their friends. Hope you understand and happy to explain in more detail.
