Debaser Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 The Straight Story. Auld' guy travels across America on a lawnmower to see his brother before they die. Wonderful, gentle, interesting movie. Totally agree a brilliant gentle story. Untouchable a French film about a quadriplegic and his career. Fantastically funny and touching.

FS Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Recently got the remastered blu-ray release of Gregory's Girl which has been restored to it''s original widescreen cinematic aspect ratio. The best thing about that of course, is that you can now see all of the Rush posters on Gregory's bedroom wall properly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Recently got the remastered blu-ray release of Gregory's Girl which has been restored to it''s original widescreen cinematic aspect ratio. The best thing about that of course, is that you can now see all of the Rush posters on Gregory's bedroom wall properly ! One thing you can't see these days is the big St Enoch Station clock under which Gregory stood in his white jaiket' waiting for his date. It was in the Cumbernauld centre, but a few years ago when they built the new Antonine centre joined to the old 1960s centre, they relocated the clock to an area that joined the old and new parts. Then about a year ago, they completely shut off a whole section of the old 1960s centre, with talk of a cinema chain (Vue?) having dibs on it to turn it into a new multi-screen. They also closed off one passage from old to new - so now the 'Gregory's Girl' clock is stuck in the closed off area. Shame, I liked walking past it on my travels. No sign of a cinema being built yet either. After the election, must contact my MSP to find out the state of play. That MSP will be Jamie Hepburn, SNP. If he doesn't win, I'll present Match of the Day in my scrunts. Edited May 5, 2016 by pozbaird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southside saint Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 The Straight Story is excellent. Nothing really happens but it's still touching, funny and sad in equal measure.

pozbaird Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 A bit sad . . Suppose. Was a bit of a stooshie at the time but now Cumbernauld High has absorbed the snotty wee upstarts it has all been forgotten about. They should have demolished the 1960s town centre building instead and in doing so would have caused ten million quid's worth of improvements. Seriously though, I actually like the 1960s town centre complex. As a keen amateur photographer I have got some good moody shots up there, and as the 1960s receed further and further into the past, I firmly believe these iconic 'concrete monstrosities' should be preserved. If we demolish all the so-called carbunkles, perhaps in another hundred years it will have been a deadful mistake. I see that St Peters Seminary is being saved and turned into an arts venue. It really is a wonderfully spooky place. Cumbernauld centre has a lot of good shops and services in it. There is the new Antonine Centre which is good, and there's a good vibe about the place now. Wee independent coffee shops are popping up, the latest being Cafe Alba which is top drawer scran'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
