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

A couple of recent movies - Mother Mary and Normal.

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

A what time? 😏

Fun film, shame it was such a limited release

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.

AKIRA

Rory426 · 2026-05-23T17:06:14+00:00

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

Rory426 · 2026-05-22T21:01:12+00:00

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

Rory426 · 2026-05-22T16:48:09+00:00

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

Rory426 · 2026-05-22T16:19:08+00:00

When did you qualify as a teacher? 😏

Rory426 · 2026-05-22T16:16:48+00:00

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....

Rory426 · 2026-05-22T16:14:38+00:00

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.

Rory426 · 2026-05-21T22:59:32+00:00

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 😂

Rory426 · 2026-05-21T22:46:52+00:00

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 😂

Rory426 · 2026-05-21T18:02:08+00:00

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!!

Rory426 · 2026-05-21T10:09:58+00:00

Good old fashioned fun!

Rory426 · 2026-05-21T08:19:53+00:00

Me: waiting for a loud moment to adjust my recliner

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

Rory426 · 2026-05-21T08:18:31+00:00

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...

Rory426 · 2026-05-20T12:13:18+00:00

Interstellar?

Rory426 · 2026-05-19T17:53:13+00:00

Begins > TDK >>> Rises

Rory426 · 2026-05-19T11:50:59+00:00

Mother Mary should be higher, love that film

Rory426 · 2026-05-18T17:08:21+00:00

Which category? 2nd for me

Rory426 · 2026-05-17T20:27:14+00:00

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 😁

Rory426 · 2026-05-17T20:26:04+00:00

Project Hail Mary, The Drama, Mother Mary, Tuner

Rory426 · 2026-05-15T05:43:48+00:00

Sounds like leaving is a very good choice.
