Barbie-Heimer

 Been a while since I've had such a good Saturday. I set an alarm so I woke up with plenty of time to go uptown to help Mark and Lucy shift a bike shed off their property. Their home is being re-rendered so it needed to park it somewhere else, and we needed to do it first thing in the morning because most of us had to scarper away to the cinema to catch an unlikely double bill. Yes, Oppenheimer and Barbie landed in cinemas this weekend and I had arranged with someone from work to go watch the pair of them. It's been a while since I've done a back-to-back screening, longer still since I did some 'event cinema'. Everyone and their mothers were out at the movies today for it and that created this really gorgeous audience environment for both movies - especially since every seat in the house was taken for both films. In between movies we headed to a pub for some food and to discuss what we saw with an adult beverage in hand. Friends and coworkers came and went throughout the day and we ended up with a tight little group as we went into Barbie, we lost track of time once we came out because we were all chatting and enjoying hanging out so much. Feel so jazzed about film now and so glad we made the effort to invite everyone out for a little weekend event.
