restless natives

[egb_hibs]

watched this for the first time in nigh on 20 years last night.

what a film. cant think of a better scottish effort:

- great to have it set in embra rather than the ubiqitous weeg (weegie cast notwithstanding)

- great big country soundtrack

- dollops of humanity that these days wouldnae squeeze in if they didn't suit some polemical riff

- great to see the hibbies following the wolfman and clown along prinny at the end, though b'christ i'd forgotten those hideus 'team jerseys' (as in knitted sweaters) you used to get

Scoobs spent AGES searching for a copy of this on DVD and eventually bought a pretty rough (ehem) copy on ebay at tremendous expense only to see and buy a proper copy in Fop, a matter of weeks later at a fraction of the price.

The cop asking 'have ye got any false tits?' as the two of them are bricking it, class.

Watched it on friday as well for first time in years. Absolute class. I think the shoes were gazzelles but still quality. Was the wolfmans bird in take the high road as well?

Why can weegie actors not do Edinburgh accents?

(They still managed to get the Necropolis and the Joke shop on Queen Street in from Glasgow for some reason.)

Mind my mum taking me and my mate up to Morningside for auditions for extras for that.Spend ages hanging around only to be told to bolt.

My mum got picked though and had a talking scene in Princes street gardens only to be cut out of the final version.She was totally gutted.

Really good film, although the soundtrack's not my thing. Not as good as Gregory's Girl either

On this point, there was a Hibby in his mid 30's at Celtic Saturday wearing a Navy Fila Jumper, White Levi Jeans and a pair of white Diadoras????

And the boy that runs out of the Joke shop (realname Bubs - or was at school) is or was a Hibby.

No seen it for at least 13 years masel but I mind me n ma wee bro getting it out on video down here about 20 years ago and absolutely p!shin oursels at two classic lines of celluloid humour:
1) when they're arguin playin football at the beginnin an the boy who has been dispossessed shouts 'geez that baw ya fanny'!
2) when the two guys in the office (quietly) chorus in unison 'Christ, it's the man from U.N.C.L.E.' as the fat yank tries to take control.

I still think Gregory's Girl is funnier too. Sorry, if it appears that I'm hijackin the thread but the scene when Gregory goes radge at the wee laddie who's enquiring after 'Maddie' is hilarious!

Local Hero, on the other hand, is a bunch of over-rated p!sh.

Its been many years since I saw Local Hero. It was OK. Comfort and Joy was OK and caught a bit of the flavour of Glasgow quite well.

Bill Forsyth hasn't done anything for many, many years.

I remember standing at the bottom of the mound watching them film it I was in my early teens and felt so cultured

Class film, from what I remember.

Just got Restless Natives for a 5er from HMV.

A guy I used to work with had a similar expereince to Scoobs, paid about £25 for a shit VHS on e-bay. ONly to see it released on DVD about 6 months later for literally feck all

That was 'Gregory's Girl', no 'That Sinking Feeling'.

Have to agree with the earlier statement with Gregory's 'rant' at the wee laddie asking if 'Maddie wis in' is one of my fave film moments.

quality.

you seen the 'retro' fila range in xile? no as good as the originals (material seems much cheaper than i recall), and not for mature gentleman like me who have, ahem, 'filled out' since the 80s, but if i were a young un again i'd still pick it over the gay hairdresser look, that seems to be the thing

Summed up my feelings in a one-r egb. Everything nowadays does look like it is made for gay hairdressers. And i too have 'filled out'
A bit too much to carry off the sporty casual look.
