teenagers in school often like to deface textbooks and walls with animated scrawls of penises.With a flip of a few pages, teens will most likely giggle at their peers' defiant artworks scribbled between the educational material they are supposed to be learning from.But some cheeky adolescents took it one step further by drawing and writing naughty messages all over their piece of work he submitted to his teacher.The educator who was given the work took to Reddit to share the task they set for the year nine boys - and it did not quite go to plan.They explained in the post: “Fun worksheet I gave the yr9 lads today, at the end of a lesson on the Greek origin of words.”Attached was the ‘fun’ A4 paper that asked the 13-14 year-old-lads to invent their own dinosaur and complete a fact file about them.In the box that was labelled ‘image of my dinosaur’ one lad drew a very questionable looking penis and a pair of testicles.Not quite the predator you would imagine trotting about in prehistoric times!Then, in the box that asked to list ‘key characteristics’ of the dinosaur the lad simply wrote “nob.”And, the teen then gave an account about what the risqué predator ate in which he described it as “pum pum” - referring to a vagina.The lad grew cheekier as when asked where his phallic shaped dinosaur lived, he explained: “In ye mums nickers (knickers).”Another teen lad drew a dinosaur that almost resembled a unicorn but instead of a horn featured a penis, in which the student aptly named a key characteristic of their creature as having a “nob head.”And, apparently this questionable living dinosaur lived at the “corner shop.”We do not think they will be ending up in the Natural History Museum anytime soon!Tickled by the teens’ raunchy

Guy Lodge Film Critic“And Tomorrow the Entire World” is a taut, headlong dive into a student Antifa commune in Berlin, whose residents gradually splinter over how to fight a rising tide of white supremacy. It was, per its press notes, originally conceived as a period piece by director Julia von Heinz, before she concluded that there was no need to do so.

Guy Lodge Film Critic“Wife of a Spy” is a debatable title on two fronts. The man in question may or may not be a spy, and while the female protagonist is certainly his wife, that passive, possessive phrasing undersells the degree to which she commands Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s thoroughly involving, old-school slice of wartime cloak and dagger.

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentSusanna Nicchiarelli’s “Nico, 1988,” about the German singer who performed with the Velvet Underground, made a splash in Venice in 2017 when it took top honors in the cutting-edge Horizons section. She’s back on the Lido – now in the main competition – with another biopic, “Miss Marx,” about Karl Marx’s ill-fated younger daughter Eleanor, a fervent feminist pioneer played by Golden Globe nominee Romola Garai (“The Hour”).The film, which world premieres Saturday, chronicles Eleanor Marx’s tragic relationship with political activist and playwright Edward Aveling, portrayed as sneaky and spineless.In terms of tone it’s a fresh take on the period piece genre, as Nicchiarelli tells Variety.

Guy Lodge Film Critic“These are the rules of the game, the law of desire,” Tilda Swinton sighs, playing an unnamed woman — who, let it be said, looks and speaks and dresses an awful lot like Tilda Swinton — whose lover has left her, and can only be bothered to say goodbye over the phone.
