Tokyo flashbacks are the best flashbacks.
‘Tagged’ in one of those ‘memories’ things yesterday on one of our omniscient social media platforms. This snap entered the lexicon a good half a decade ago. How time flies.
The best adventure (thus far) with the holiday lads. Absolute carnage twinned with culture. Tokyo is an extraordinary place to see and experience. In no other country have I felt as if I were on another planet. It’s old and new, a hundred years ahead yet still The Last Samurai (2003). Imagine coming home to Gorgie (Edinburgh semi-ghetto) after this esoteric sojourn.
Japan, I will see you again. But not yet. Not yet. We’re (‘The Unit’) going back, though. And this photo took an hour. I had to sit down afterwards. It’s all about the little details.
P.S. I obscure faces because I know how the world works.
Christian Bale goes FULL-BRANDO in The Fighter (2010).
He’s off the charts in this, he really is. It’s the most self-effacing acting job in years. He defines scumbag ‘junkie’ but by the end you realise the bloke does have a heart and everything he does is for a reason, though he usually fucks it up. It’s a redempton story and one of the best because it’s REAL.
That last fight scene is the damage. It’s drama and technique. And it actually happened.
Let the clips commence!
Lothian Road, Edinburgh. Grim.
Summer is officially over. Here’s to more miserable scenes on the Costa del Dull.
More Edinburgh montage action.
Approaching the end of the end of the lockdown … until we start up again and go back to the new normalcy, which will be another lockdown-lockdown. Probably.
Wanderings and ... wonderings.
