To think again ...

Paul Holyrood Gotta love Boris.

Gary Lindsay Johnson certainly has different opinions, often from himself. Hardly a unifying force in a divided country. Alex Salmond has urged Cineworld chiefs to reconsider their decision not show the new Robert the Bruce biopic in Scotland.

Red or Dead Cineworld only have so many screens to show films. So they have to decide which films to show and which they don’t. Cineworld seems to be the only mainstream cinema to be screening the Apollo 11 documentary. Now if it has to be a choice of a documentary celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first time in 260,000 years of human history of a human landing on another planetary body or a ficticious account of a Scottish, ten-a-penny (for these days) provincial king on the make, then there really is no contest!

kmcn There’s blue and white face paint in it, so straight off we already know it’s a joke and the writer was obviously nowhere near Scotland in the past six years or they’d have known the majority view toward those who plaster it on.

Show the bloody movie, Goddamit … the Bruce was good ... William Wallace was the best freedom fighter ever.

Robert was a savvy political operator who saw an opportunity to take Scotland for himself; his ascendance had a fair body count along the way, including William Wallace (another Norman descendent), he used division to create a power base, very much like our politics now.

It’s telling that the seppie social media current grievances (grievance is what they do) are all around a lowbudget film and the labelling of Scottish/british produce. Most normal Scots are more concerned with jobs, finances, family and the like – that’s why we rejected indy. The Seps don’t bother about a case for independence that would appeal to the majority of hard-working Scots because there simply isn’t one.

Bertyfish Yup, he whipped up the deluded with hate speech and false promises and watched them suffer ... plus ça change, as he would have said.

Meanwhile in the real world you can go to the Vue Cinema in Edinburgh tonight and have your pick of seats for such a wonderful film. Maybe it just isn’t very good.

You aren’t missing much. It will be a Hollywood/ American rendition, little to do with accuracy.
