Not on MUBI but elsewhere, I watched the 1995 controversial cult film KIDS by Larry Clark. Extremely uncomfortable - repulsive even - viewing and there’s good reason it is hard to find. Major trigger warnings for sexual violence. All that is true, and also true is that it is a very good film.

Including LET THE CORPES TAN, an arthouse French crime thriller with some saucy eroticism charged through it. LOS COLONOS also great, about colonialism, race and empire in Chile - one of the lead Cunts is a Scot interestingly

Looks like that young guy in the hoody has been photoshopped in

That would’ve been around 2008 I think. The ill fated Rangers fan who mocked the Ozzy. Wonder if he ever thinks about that encounter still?

Also saw a pished belligerent Rangers fan get knocked out by a small Australian guy wearing a woolly jumper and a bunnet in the upstairs bar. Not to condone violence but it was a great - justified - moment.

Fucking great bit when he’s sitting down himself to his tea: haggis neeps and tatties

Why do we hate it? Because it’s ‘inauthentic’? Give over. Authenticity does not mean realism, and realism is artifice anyhow. It’s authentic to what it is: an OTT American fictionalisation of the western Highlands.
