Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was Quarantine (2008) in which a TV journalist and a cameraman accompany an LA fire crew on a shout. It turns out to be a medical emergency requiring doors to be broken down, but shortly after entering the building, it’s sealed shut from outside and they and the residents find themselves trapped as some foul virus starts to spread 
It was OK, and like many of these things got better towards the end. Nothing special though; for this plot, I think I preferred the one that was filmed in those council tower blocks in Southampton, Containment, that I watched a few years ago
Then I was going to watch a further episode of Pluribus and call it a night as I need to drive south tomorrow. But I’d made the mistake of putting the mundane laundry on a bit later than I usually do, and it always takes longer to dry than bedding, for example, so I ended up watching three episodes before it was done
I’d forgotten that the series is by Vince Gilligan of Breaking Bad fame, but the cold open of episode four soon reminded me: a character we haven’t seen before, alone in a situation unlike any other so far, and it soon becomes clear that this is the other, geographically distant, side of something that happened in an earlier episode. And it’s also clear that this will lead to a major twist in the story: maybe not this episode, maybe not even this season, but this guy's going to change everything, though he doesn’t know it yet
Goodnight all
