Lord of the Rings

**✈️ *You can’t escape the things you should’ve never done.*** ***Payback always comes around — especially when it’s personal. Some debts demand to be paid in full.*** **Hey guys!** You know it’s always big news when **Sam Raimi** dives back into horror. I mean, it’s actually been 16 years since **[Drag Me to Hell](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPOaxHqoYxo)**, so this is a bit of an event. I think we can all agree that his style — that mix of chaotic madness and twisted humour — has been unmistakable ever since **[Evil Dead II.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lM3NPeEG24)** So, on that note, let’s celebrate his return and meet up for a **Film & Social**! This will also be the first of two **Raimi**-related horror releases this year, including the upcoming **Evil Dead Burns** (which he’s producing). You might want to join our **[Evil Dead Burns](https://www.meetup.com/thehideoutlondon/events/311637265/?eventOrigin=group_events_list)**[ ](https://www.meetup.com/thehideoutlondon/events/311637265/?eventOrigin=group_events_list)**[Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/thehideoutlondon/events/311637265/?eventOrigin=group_events_list)** later this year too! We’ll have our usual comfy setup (final details updated closer to the date). After the film, we’ll regroup for a relaxed review session and swap reactions — and, as always, we’ll be sharing scores and highlights over on our **[Letterboxd page](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)**. It’s shaping up to be a chilly Saturday afternoon at the beach… but with great company, great conversation, and a proper film-lover vibe.

🌑 ***As planets vanish into the ocean of blood, the stars quietly follow, leaving only darkness behind.*** 👋 **Hey guys,** let’s get together for this curious science-fiction debut by **Mark Fischbach** who wrote, directed, produced, edited, and stars in it - that’s quite the one-man show! Plus, it’s based on the **[2022 video game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVguc6gRUTo)**, so if you are a gamer I’m sure you’ll have a lot to say about it. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic future; after ‘The Quiet Rapture’ erases stars and worlds, then a convict must explore an eerie ocean of blood on a desolate moon Sounds wild—count me in So we’ll kick things off with drinks first at the **Victory House Wine Bar** as it's the middle of the week. Then we'll dive into the movie at **Cineworld (Screen 1**) where I’ll be in seat **A8**, and then wrap things up with a brief **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)** review at the end. **I look forward to entering into the darkness with you guys —chat soon!** **Jonny** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you ***sign up*** but later can’t make it, please 🙏 **just drop us a quick message** (or change your RSVP).

🌌Ever look up and marvel with insatiable curiosity at both the beauty and wonder of the **universe?** That wild sobering thought that somewhere in the chaos of creation - the emergence of life - the universe became **conscious** enough to look back and ask the fundamental questions; How it all started, our evolution and place in it, and where else in the cosmos other complex life might exist (we know almost every star you see has planets orbiting with up to **20 billion habitable exoplanets** easily in our galaxy alone!)? 🪐🌟🌟🌟 🌍Then RSVP to view the potential life harbouring moons of **Jupiter**, comets, the famous **Orion Nebula** where stars like our sun were born, the majestic rings of **Saturn**, the international space station, well known star fields, remnants of **supernova** witnessed by our early ancestors, multi-star solar systems (think the double sun in Starwars), the Tau Ceti star with **2 Earth like planets** orbiting in the habitable zone, plus a range of other fascinating celestial wonderments (comets, galaxies) over drinks and engaging chats and banter this Jan fully hosted by a passionate amateur astronomer and former global Journalist covering big picture stories including cutting edge science related ones. 🚀In between observing - we'll have **drinks and engaging chats** on all astronomy related topics for those inclined - space exploration, Fermi Paradox, Astrobiology, Cosmology, paleontology, SETI/Drake Equation (I have my own augmented version giving more realistic estimates of likely alien civilisations!), exoplanetology etc as well as non space chatter and banter too. No doubt we'll hear the usual jokes we've all heard before! If those don't make you laugh, my impersonation of Los Angeles ET will! 👽 And to help set the mood and make the night feel even extra galactic, I’ll put my DJ hat to play some space‑themed tunes and songs about the stars! **======= Joining Astronomers Group & Telescopes =======** I'm able to take a limited number of people (please only RSVP if you can make it) to join my friendly informal relaxed London amateur astronomers' club that have been for over a decade with their regulars made up of up to about 150 people. As there will be people attending from this private Astronomers group as well as others from one of my other groups - the total attendees will be far higher than rsvps here and the public liability insurance only covers a max number of people - hence I need to impose strict limits on attendance. Over the years we have enjoyed numerous social evenings of stargazing and thought provoking chatter with people of all ages and varying levels of astronomy knowledge - so complete beginners that are genuinely curious about the universe are very welcome. If you are just looking to meet generic randoms then there are others groups that will better cater for that. The world renowed **BBC Television Sky at Night** also attended our events pre covid and interviewed some of us for it's show that aired on BBC1 in Feb 2019. BBC **Radio London** (94.9 FM / digital) were there Aug 2023 to cover our meteor shower event broadcasting live to millions of Londoners for 3 hours You don't need a telescope as you will be able to view through scopes belonging to me and other club members (as long as you behave responsibly and don't temper with expensive equipment). If you have your own telescope/binoculars feel free to bring along and I can help you setting it up if you're a newbie **==== Food & Drinks With Seating From Warm Indoor Cafe ====** Alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, cider only), hot drinks and food/snacks will be available to purchase from an indoor cafe at the observation point which Regent's park keep open exclusively for the astronomers group so please don't bring your own drinks **==== ITINERARY =====** We will meet outside Camden Station. After a short wait for anyone delayed, I will escort everyone to our observation point in the local park 15 minutes walk away and brief you in terms of what to expect, observing etiquette, tips, equipment handling and take any questions you have - weather general or astronomy/cosmology related. **After Drinks:** Unless I have a very important 9AM Thursday deadline for a client presentation or something that I'm still gonna be writing 2 mins before start - most of us usually head our way back to Camden for another drink. If so - I will annouce the pub when we leave the park **==== What Can You Expect To See (this time of year)? ====** * Orion Nebula * Jupiter and 4 moons * Meteors * Andromedia Galaxy * Saturn, rings & moon * Star clusters such as the Pleiades & Owl Cluster etc * International Space station fly by * Venus & Mercury * Binary & tripple star systems (think planet *Tatooine in* Starwars!), * Neptune * Uranuus * Mars * Our moon * A look towards the galactic centre where that supermassive £22b Labour black hole sits (Sagittarius A) More here from Jodrell Bank Observatory/Astrophysics Centre: [http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/](http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/) Guide to viewing the cosmos for beginners: [https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp](https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp) **===Weather Dependent=====** The event is subject to clear skies forecasts on the night so if on the actual afternoon of the event the weather forecasts looks unsuitable beyond doubt then I will postpone so please check the event status on the day of the event . If this event is still listed here at 5PM on the day, it will be going ahead at the designated day and time! Happy Stargazing Lucas Skywalker - The Singin, Dancin, DJ-in Astronomer
