Film Titles

 During the recent months I missed swimming and the Long Suffering Husband missed film. Once the pools were open I was straight back but he didn’t feel the same about the cinema. The problem was that no  new films were released, so while his year’s retirement present subscription was un-paused there wasn’t anything he wanted to see.

A couple of new films have been talked about in the last week. The first is called Tenet, which, by all reports is a twisty timey confusing plot, somehow related to belief in something that doesn’t really exist, or does it? I’m not sure why, based on that description, but this film title isn’t really appealing to the LSH.

This morning, I opened my emails and found one from the cinema.

Dear LSH, it said, come and see our new film, The New Mutants.

Don’t ask why I get his emails. I think it has something to do with him being late to technology. 

This title sounds like it will be more likely to get him back in the cinema. You know what you are going to get with a film called the New Mutants. It will be a superhero type thing, where rejects from society turn out to be the good guys who go on to defeat the evil. 

Yesterday, Boris Johnson, visited a school to perform a ‘schools are safe’ PR exercise. Unfortunately, the only schools that are back are Scotland and Leicester (whose holidays are always a week earlier). The chance of being welcomed with opened arms to the place you forgot about while the rest of the country came out of lockdown was always slim but this was a very funny PR disaster. He spoke to a class, filmed by ITV, and you heard them laugh at him. As he left the room you could clearly hear someone say, “Arseho...” before the clip cut off. He also gave an assembly/speech, where he asked lots of questions. Leicestershire Live reporter Dan Martin, noted that the children were silent. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/harry-potter-sexist-okay-sing-4459002?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

This is odd behaviour for even impeccably behaved kids when they are being asked questions. During this speech he started to talk about the new film release too. Mutant algorithm: must be a character in the new film. 

Other films out now are Unhinged, Behind You and Trolls. The school librarian did an excellent job of creating these film titles in the background.  https://www.tes.com/news/boris-johnson-and-revenge-school-librarian?amp&__twitter_impression=true 

I’m going to keep an eye out of films coming up in the future. Let’s hope this isn’t the start of life truly imitating art. because the next film on the release list is Antebellum.
