Got temporarily locked on the train didn’t I. Wasn’t quick enough getting my bags together and they locked the doors. I mistimed how long it would take and some stuff fell out of my bag. I was just slow 😅
Can we please talk about how much of a vibe killer the slow train from Manchester Vic to Leeds is. Was feeling a hang out but sitting here for 40mins and only just made it to Halifax & have to sit at Bradford THEN go to Leeds. I just want to go home now…
I’ve actually learned how to log films on letterboxd and I’ve only seen 19 this year - not sure how people do it nonstop. Been making an effort to see more at home too!
Saw the Brutalist. Loved it. Don’t fear the runtime
These Oscar noms are a mess.
I finally watched La Chimera!!!
Better late than never.
Watching video game films for a double page DIY zine article. Watched Super Mario Bros. And now Street Fighter - I’m losing hope already.
There’s a club that’s open & they seem to just be playing Top40 hits from early 00’s (it’s mainly Beyoncé) - the music is so loud as well. It’s owned by a well known Leeds music man
Shocked coup d’état isn’t on there! Every screening was pretty much sold out & the audience were SO keen to talk to us about it after!
The only adverts I seem to get on 4OD are medical weight loss medication… can we not? Two in a row for different companies as well!
Had the most productive day yesterday. Was up early, spent the daytime with my sister & nephews & bf. Made a bday dinner for my housemate & was *just* about to head out for drink with all her friends…Suddenly felt horrendous within 20 seconds & 🤮 all my life up.
Didn’t go out :( still feel grim
They showed an Audi car advert AFTER the film trailers - they’ve finally figured out we don’t turn up early for the ads 😂
Reminder to be nice to your minimum wage people all working over Christmas & New Year.
We are all trying our best.
Watching the least Christmassy film (but I’ve not seen it before so wanted to check it off my list.
Threads (1984)

Loooool at universal credit looking through all my bank statements and seeing “The New Penny” x6 from night out 😅
At the #LeedsFilmNetwork with a mixture of DIY and film orgs meeting (informally)
I’m already in a FOUL mood and these groups of lads who refuse to speak to me, or say please or thank you. It’s not a socially awkward thing - cos I’ve been that person.
IF YOU WANT TO ICE SKATE YA GOTTA SPEAK TO ME.
(I’m selling tickets for ice skating in town).
Rental property agents are so fucking cheeky. They already made us sign a new contract a few months ago upping our rent and they sent a one sentence email trying to get us to increase our rent AGAIN. It’s too much - just let me live somewhere I can afford.
After looking at his Twitter page I don’t know if he’s actually even a paid film reviewer. He seems like an angry, and maybe lonely man. He also likes to argue a lot (with little to no likes on his posts) & supports Trump & fewer rights for women. So I just feel sorry for him.
Looool got called a loser by some small time American film critic because I work in a cinema…seems ironic or maybe just trying to rage people into engagement?
Ranted about cinema etiquette on Twit (it was popping off).
Summary:
Manners in shared space - important
Phones to film/photo movie - actually illegal
Phone use encourages worse behaviour - talking loud, messy, feet on chairs
Customers often too nervous to confront - please speak to the staff!
In Leeds, it’s at the shop opposite the town hall called Round the Clock. They have a small selection of Haribo bags🥤😄

LEEDS GHOST BUSES.
sort it out. Is this just a Leeds First Bus issue?
At the wonderful Hyde Park Picture House for “Wedding in Galilee” as part of the Leeds Palestinian Film Festival 🇵🇸 ❤️
Amazon Prime is a joke (luckily my housemate pays for it). I
f you are paying for a TV channel you shouldn’t need adverts.
(Currently dealing with loan shark ads during Bottoms)
Started my morning off in the best way possible. An oyster from Lindisfarne, mussels & some lobster. All in Leeds Market & all for just over a fiver!!
Just watched Small Things Like These & it’s insanely powerful without needing any big soundbite moments. Cillian awesome as per but omg Emily Watson as the Mother nun is terrifyingly good.
