Dundee Stu

Norascore, man

4 February 2005

290.
Okay, I know that I ain't no Ewan MacGregor, but, hey, I am Scottish... so at least we have that much in common. Not being able to get out and about as much as I would like (or even at all), I have been forced to look deep into myself for daily photos. This is something that has been in my mind for a while... well, okay, I only just thought about it if the truth be known. Clearly a rip-off, with no original thought whatsoever, it is my tribute to one of my favourite films. I'm sure you can guess which one it might be. I remember when this came out. I was living in Lisbon at the time, and there seemed to be a whole load of Scottish themed films that came out at roughly the same time: Braveheart, Rob Roy, Shallow Grave, and then this. Trainspotting was a wonderful tonic after the exciting, but historically inaccurate, Braveheart, and served to show my Portuguese friends that Scotland was a modern country with all the social problems that all modern countries have. I never missed an opportunity to see it again, and ended seeing it about nine times in various Lisbon cinemas. Luckily for me, the Portuguese don't dub films, they subtitle them, so I was able to catch all the humour that my Portuguese friends missed. Certainly takes me back.... but whatever happened to Ewan MacGregor (Renton)!?!

I want to add that it was a great book too, and all the dialogue was in "Scottish" and after a while it made sense to me butnot once did they refer to groceries as messages. So there.

There is a sign advertising Trainspotting tours of Leith. Should put another pointing them in your direction.

"It's shite being Scottish, we're the lowest of the low... Some people hate the English. I don't hate the English - they're just wankers. We, on the other hand, were colonized by wankers. We couldn't even find a decent culture to be colonized by!"

Good to see you up, though probably not about yet. I like the play on the movie with this image.
jude04-Feb-2005 19:56
Excellent SP .. Loved Trainspotting and I haven't seen the others. which is weird as I love movies.. hmm..

Ewan has gone so mainstream he doesn't do too many unusual films anymore.. shame that.
Zak04-Feb-2005 18:08
Stu's Plotting? ;-)

Riiigh, yur f**kin' roond then Stuawht, eh! (Beggbie voice). This is a hoot, Stu.
Guest 04-Feb-2005 16:56
Heheh cool!! I love that film, although I have again been reminded of the worst toilet in Scotland scene (Lee made reference to Trainspotting a few days ago and I was reminded about it then) - awful!!
jypsee04-Feb-2005 16:54
Couldn't STAND Braveheart (Gibson is a nitwit who manages to screw up history at every opportunity); really like Rob Roy, but only because I think Liam Neeson is beyond beautiful and I liked looking at Jessica Lange without all the make-up that most actresses smear on despite the historicity of the character... never got past the first few minutes of Trainspotting, though my son, who goes by the name Wicked Tribe on here, thinks the movie was "the shit." You look introspective; or.... maybe your hands are cold :^)
