nothing sums up how truly fucked the band bootcamp was like stephen mccole (moose heyliger) not realising the rest of the cast didn’t genuinely hate him until 2015

Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore (Wes Anderson, 1998)

Cast: Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Olivia Williams, Seymour Cassel, Brian Cox, Mason Gamble, Sara Tanaka, Stephen McCole, Connie Nielsen, Luke Wilson. Screenplay: Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson. Cinematography: Robert D. Yeoman. Production design: David Wasco. Film editing: David Moritz. Music: Mark Mothersbaugh.

I didn't get Rushmore the first time I saw it, but now, having seen most of Wes Anderson's subsequent films, I do. The problem is that it still leaves me a little cold. Part of my trouble with the movie lies with its central character, Max Fischer, who as played by Jason Schwartzman and written by Anderson and Owen Wilson begins as such an obnoxious twerp that it's hard to switch allegiance when the film eventually turns him into a sympathetic figure. It's difficult, too, to see why Olivia Williams's character, Miss Cross, puts up with him so long. My suspicion is that Williams didn't quite understand what Anderson and Wilson were going at with her part -- maybe she didn't get Rushmore either. As a result, we see her torn between two inappropriate suitors, Schwartzman and Bill Murray, but playing her part as a conventional romantic comedy heroine. Fortunately, everyone else in the cast, including such splendid actors as Seymour Cassel and Brian Cox, is completely into the loopy world that Anderson has created. There are those who think that in his later movies Anderson has either gone too cutesy or atrophied into a kind of zaniness for zaniness's sake, but I'm not one of them. I think he has learned how to superimpose his eccentric stories on the real world so that they work as the kind of satiric commentary that doesn't quite come off in Rushmore.

Gregory Burke To Adapt Ian Rankin’s Rebus Series as Eleventh Hour Drama Black Watch. Both adaptations, it has Richard Rankin’s participation.

Gregory Burke's play Black Watch was one of the first successes for the nascent National Theatre of Scotland, first appearing at the Edinburgh festival in 2006 and going on to a massively successful worldwide tour. Its plot focuses on the famous regiment as it goes into battle in Iraq - and the consequences for it as the government amalgamates it with others to become a battalion in a new Scottish regiment.

Scottish soldiers with the red feathers are members of Scotland's elite fighting force, the Black Watch, into action against Iraqi insurgents during a production of the National Theatre of Scotland's production of Black Watch, presented by Gregory Burke's portrait of an elite Scottish regiment serving in Iraq.

These Black Watch soldiers are realistic, too, portrayed by Jack Lowden (Cammy), Richard Rankin (Granty), Adam McNamara (Rossco), Chris Starkie (Stewarty), Cameron Barnes (Macca), Gavin Jon Wright (Nabsy), Scott Fletcher (Kenzie), and Andrew Fraser (Fraz). Stephen McCole plays the Officer, and Robert Jack doubles as the Writer and the Sergeant.

The men are fighting for their regiment, company, platoon, section, and, ultimately, their mates. And the camaraderie is caught in a final image of Cammy (Jack Lowden)

Memories of the actual regiment's action in the Middle East are still fresh.

The Black Watch is an ancient regiment, as the drum at its museum in Perth shows. Campaign and battle honours date from 1759, and include the Napoleonic, first and second world wars.

(Okay, I’m done now I swear! 😅 Also, that scene where Gavin just picks up Ian rather than shaking his hand cracks me up every time - has anyone made a gif of it yet? If so please send it my way. 😇)
