I won't watch Manchester by he Sea ever again. Never. I kind of guessed where it was going from the trailer and would normally avoid such things like the plague because that shit sets my anxiety off but I really wanted to see this. When he says the line

I can't beat it

it absolutely destroyed me.

Rambling Trainspotting rubbish. Iggy Pop, Need to get a poster   dont forget the soundtrax   etc.

 

"Acid House" was shit. "Irvine Welsh's Ecstacy" was even shitter. I just can't stand Irvine Welsh. I just hate the man. Nothing can change this. I'm sorry.

 

I thought "Filth" was a nice well-rounded surprise though. How a good man turned into a cunt and wants to turn back is basically the storyline. Not in a funny way too.

Yeah, dead baby with a massive head, dying of AIDS and a life of crime really glamourised heroin, didn't it?

 

I think we're thinking of the wrong film here.

 

ADDED: Oh yeah. I remember the baby bit. Wasn't the same baby used in mini-story in "The Acid House"? That was nasty. Fuck that. Trainspotting didn't glamourise Heroin. Its been too long since I watched it and I don't plan on watching it again. Edinburgh is the real shithole.

Is that why you edited your post? If you thought Trainspotting glamourised heroin then yes, we were watching different films.

 

Edit. But yeah, don't like Irvine Welsh either.

Trainspotting doesn't glamorise heroin in the slightest, I've never understood this at all. What it does is show the reasons why people get hooked in the first place beyond their social background etc. The after-effects, for EVERYONE involved, are devastating.

 

The sequel isn't so much about heroin but it does focus a lot more on Spud and his attempts to beat his addiction. It's the best part of the film, actually, and he's a far more interesting character in this one. It's a really strong sequel.

Is ""Trainspotting" the one some naked bird shouts that heroin beats any cock injection or I'm thinking about some random porno I watched on YouPorn? .. which would be embarrassing.

"Scarface" is a film I'm not sure about it. I've watched it a few times though. I preferred Brian De Palma's "Body Double" from around that time. Do people here consider "Scarface" good, or is just wannabe gangsters?
