I saw THE FURIOUS at Beyond Fest last fall and I guarantee you're gonna have way more fun watching this than any movie Hollywood will release this summer. See it with a big crowd if you can. This is what the theatrical experience is made for.

Reminder: There are right and wrong ways to punctuate in professional writing. When introducing a parenthetical aside or interjection, use an em-dash ( — ). Hyphens ( - ) join compound words. En-dashes ( – ) indicate numerical range. Multiple hyphens together ( -- ) do nothing.
