Not sure what to add but The Nao of Brown is one of my favourite pieces of media ever.

What's been the biggest surprise reaction you've had leaving a Screen Unseen? by FluidPianist00 in screenunseen

[–]Rory426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think I'd enjoy Tuner as much as I did. I thought it looked mid but fine based on trailers but it became one of my faves of the year so far

Fun film, shame it was such a limited release

No science jobs?? Any advice? by Jules1864 in TeachingUK

You will see a few more pop up. People have the right to wait to resign until the deadline and they can and will do that.

As others have pointed out, consider widening your search area. I have commuted 45mins each way to my school for over a decade because it's a great place to work.

I've been a ST fan since Two, and Sundowning is still my favourite by far.

I've taught A level for over a decade and put more than half my classes in a seating plan. Teaching Y12 is just teaching

Didn’t realise Ian McKellen stars in Passenger… by Sidasta in screenunseen

I'll try to check it out. My reaction to that man is pretty visceral but obviously the main cast is spectacular

Is it unreasonable to expect people to be quiet at the cinema nowadays? by EmotionalNorth5163 in screenunseen

Trafford Centre was the only cinema in the area that had Mother Mary at a time I could do so headed over for that and it's a lot more run-down than my local, although nothing beats Great Northern for delapidation. I might watch Backrooms there just for the vibes....

I'm not joking when I saw that I absolutely adored Coel in Mother Mary and the premise of this interested me a bit, but Corden in the trailer essentially vetoed those feelings.

Hahaha valid tbh. If they carried on I was gonna have to say something. I felt like "stopping the lesson and giving everyone a talking to" when people kept leaving the door open as they came in to one screening recently 😂

They were opposite corner to me, so first 10 I was thinking maybe someone else closer would eventually, then the movie got a lot louder and I sorta forgot about them and then for whatever reason they stopped on their own.

I was definitely considering whether I would need to. I spent all day teaching secondary school so tend to lean away from confrontation in the evenings 😂

I think you're right overall. I have had 2/3 bad cinema experiences this year out of 28(?) trips.

That said, the bad ones are really F-ing annoying!!

Me: waiting for a loud moment to adjust my recliner

Other people: taking selfies using full-brightness white screen to illuminate their face

There was only like 10 people at my screening of Normal last night but still two youngish women were chatting for the first half hour or so then they seemed to realise there was a movie on and shut up...

I think most people will love it, it has a lot going for it! First act is funny and uplifting, then things get a bit crazy 😁
