The defence on The Wicker Man - C/D? I find most convincing is Momus's.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

i saw it when i was young and the image is burned onto my eyes maybe the reason. The only other thing i've seen where you have to sit and watch someone in agony for what seems like an hour is audition. That is also a v. upsetting thing to watch.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 21:26 (twenty years ago)

Audition is horrific, yes.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

Deathwatch is on at the GFT again this month. I don't like Wickerman or find it scary.

Oh, I thought you meant *The* Conference.

Apparently Burton's new ground is very nice.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 06:50 (twenty years ago)

deathwatch is the glasgow-harvey keitel-harry dean stanton one that there were stills from somewhere online.

I would like to see that!

Bertrand Tavernier. I have done a book about this. He thought Glasgow looked like how things would look in the future, ie falling down and crumbling. Also stars the woman from Remy Schneider or whatever her name is, who died not long after, I think. My memory is not what it used to be. But I would like to see the film, yes.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 09:14 (twenty years ago)

I´ve got a book ("Cinematic cities/landscapes" might be the title, is that right? My memory is not waht it used to be either...) where I remember reading that quote about Glasgow, but I haven´t got through all the essays it compiles carefully. Did you work at this project?

― olenska, Wednesday, 10 August 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

No, it was a book about Tavernier, for the San Sebastian Film Festival Tavernier retrospective. My first ever book, in fact. I was just the translator, mind.

somewhere in the dark history of this thread in fact.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)

so "deathwatch" is "la mort en directe"? Took me a while to realize...don´t know memory but neither my Eng/French are what they used to b

Glasgow is giving blood tomorrow, after 5, if anyone would like to join the party.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

I gave on THE BLOOD BUS not so long ago, but maybe it was longer ago than I think.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

What do you call a bulgarian car thief..???

I thought they turned you down last time, N?

The wouldn't let the wee yin donate, anyway :( Although apparently the nurses thought she had "a lovely wee figure".

Meanwhile, The Bear's stuff was pure flyin' oot, whereas mine took a more cautious approach to the whole business (I could almost hear it saying "Are you SURE you can afford to lose me?").

Afterwards, we went to the pub without dinner. This didn't turn out as bad as you'd think.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 12 August 2005 09:03 (twenty years ago)

You don't know how bad I'd think.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 12 August 2005 09:07 (twenty years ago)

I will be making good my threat to try Edinburgh, and to try Glasgow, and I will be doing so on the weekend of the 9th September. So watch it.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 12 August 2005 09:18 (twenty years ago)

Hurrah!

I shall be trying Glasgow, tomorrow.

Ooh, I could play tennis. But not in shorts, as I have squinty crap sunburn on my legs.

I'm hurting.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 13 August 2005 17:30 (twenty years ago)

Aw. I'm waiting for my dinner to finish cooking. I will be out later when I can dance but not have to listen to stinky bands.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:14 (twenty years ago)

I think, pending final confirmation, I am Trying Glagow More again with work the week of the Bank Holiday Monday (i.e. in a week and a half).

Since I'm not sure what work plans are (I may be changing jobs, so there's probably dining out in there somewhere) and ABSOLUTELY NOT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS TRAVELLING TIME AT DOUBLE TIME NO WAY NOT AT ALL PERISH THE THOUGHT I was thinking I might come up on the Monday afternoon. This may also avoid the feeling of DRINKING ON A SCHOOL NIGHT that characterised my last visit.

IS GLASGOW AVAILABLE?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

this bit of glasgow will be working on the monday (the 29th, yeh?) as usual, but will certainly come out to join you later. insensible though you almost certainly shall be, having been drinking all afternoon.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

No. I don't get paid until 31st, but if you choose to go somewhere that takes cheques...

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

the tennis courts provide endless amusement:
"what those people don't realise is we're all one big family" [pause] "a lot of in-breeding in croatia."

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 20 August 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

i was watching the scottish weather on ITV this evening and the guy reading it reported "a chance of spurious showers for tuesday".
