Looks like the original theatrical cut of Blade Runner on BBC2 just now, kinda refreshing to revisit the version most of us first encountered!
A gloriously battered old Saab and @glasgowfilm - who can resist that combo…?
Fat 51-year old me goes to watch same film in same screen of same cinema (@glasgowfilm) as skinny, spotty 18-year old me saw 33 yrs ago. Brought the laserdisc along for wee night out too! A quid for the ‘93 cinema ticket, £40.99 for the laserdisc (£88 adjusted for inflation!!)

The late lamented Robert Duvall in the late lamented Glasgow School of Art's library, passing off as Batman's office (well, the thankfully still with us Michael Keaton's office) in A Shot at Glory (filmed c.2000)

@AsdaServiceTeam Hello - I had an issue with a diesel pump at your Govan store not dispensing fuel but charging me on the morning of 23/8. Is there anyone I can contact about it?
Rummaging in my old tech drawer and found these - had almost forgotten disc cameras existed. Got this for a birthday, probably when I was about 11. Picture quality was absolutely terrible, not surprised it didn't last long...

Nice use of Union Place in Glasgow near the start and the tiniest glimpse of the back of the Savoy Centre in the middle as the camera zooms out of an army personnel carrier....

Some Strathclyde Region filth I recently picked up on EBay. Check out that once-familiar font, and this massive map showing “current” and upcoming projects including the M74 extension.
A grand day out was had in the Big Smoke and was great to see the museum again after the last AGM there in 2009!
Great to be in London yesterday at the @CinemaMuseum giving a @ScottishCinemas update for the AGM of @CTheatreAssoc - the core of the collection is from Aberdeen so lots of Scottish cinema artefacts on display!
Glasgow architecture peeps (casts side eye @MurphyNiallGLA !) - in the film Heavenly Pursuits, pretty much every interior I can ID was shot in Glasgow but I'm having surprising trouble with this large domed hall - anyone any ideas where it is?

Found my old pile of cinema tickets which I thought I’d lost. Reminds me I went to see a right diverse bunch of stuff in the 90s from utter drivel to repertory classics to what would become future classics. Often twice. Here are the @glasgowfilm ones (with some recent stubs!)
Jeezo, having never paid more than about 60 quid for a full bottle, that is a glimpse into a world I shall never inhabit!
