Yes: it’s officially depressing …
I went all the way to Southend … and came back without a job.
And got the email this afternoon, to confirm it.
Granted: I think I was maybe under qualified for the role.
But … still …
It’s depressing to get knocked back after going all that way … ?
Is …
Yeah: you fill the words in.

To top that off … ?
To top that off, I also got turned down by the job in London: the one I went for, last week?
Although that was less of a blow: I got there a few minutes, late — which never impresses — AND the rest of the people working there seemed terribly young.
So I wasn’t so emotional about that.
All I have to do, now … ?
Is keep hunting, and wait to see what the interview I had yesterday, says …

At any rate … ?
At any rate, I really wanted something to do, tonight.
If nothing else … ?
If nothing else, catching something on the box seemed the thing: although not much broadcast TV appealed.
The movie collection … ?
Had a few bits I’d not caught …

iTunes, on the other hand?
My iTunes account had a few quid: saved up for when I had been working.
I could, at least, rent a movie.

I did.
Was it money well spent … ?
Hmmm …

The Nun is set in Romania, and opens in 1952: showing us two of the nuns in the Nunnery of Saint Carta finding something hidden in the nunnery’s long abandoned cellars.
Some two weeks later … ?
We see Father Burke (Demián Bichir) assigned to the case by senior Vatican figures.
He is, after all, the Vatican’s specialist in these things …
His only specific instructions? He has to take a noviciate called Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) along with him.

“Knows the territory.”

Although, as it turns out … ?
The territory isn’t quite what the pair were expecting …

Now … worth the money … ?
But, when I did … ?
I found them both engrossing.
The Nun, on the other hand?
Has good performances from Farmiga and Bichir, bolstered by a good score … but let down by a what I felt was a so-so storyline.
Frankly?
It’s an ok film to watch.
But isn’t necessarily the best entry I’ve seen in the series.
If I ever catch one of the Annabelle movies?
We’ll have to see what they show me ….

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
