Ooo, lots of pressure on this!
Good to see the cast there, really hope it's good!
I tried reading the Trainspotting book, couldn't do it due to all the Scottishness of it
I read it on honeymoon Good to see the cast there, really hope it's good!

Even being from Edinburgh, it took me a couple of paragraphs before the way it was written made sense in my head as I read it.
Something about slang and colloquialisms being written down made it weird to read at first.

Film 4 has Trainspotting on tonight at 10:50pm
Thanks, just recorded it for the mrs. last night,
me: you see trainspotting two is out next year
her: oh that's good, I liked the first one
me: yeah we will need to go to see it
her: how they going to do it about a train again
me: wtf, eh wit?
her: well last one was that train that couldn't slow down
me: that's unstoppable ya fud.
her: that not the same film.
me: your an idiot.
in her defence she's 22 but still. honestly.
My mate did say that they should have called it tramspotting though. I thought that was rather good.
I've read 'skag boys' (the prequel to trainspotting) trainspotting and porno and even though I'm from Scotland it still takes a while to get my head round how its written. but the easiest thing I've found is literally treat it like catchphrase- say what you see!!! just sound everything out in your head (not out loud unless you want people to shout at you!) as its written down and it kinda makes sense and all goes in.

Ya Fud.
Can't wait for this.
TThis trailer has created a surprising amount of joy...
Really, really loved the first - but haven't watched it for years. Will have to dig it out.
Read pretty much all Irvine Welsh's books - once I'd got into the ability to smoothly read they style, I figured I'd maximise it by reading them all back to back.
Around half way through, pretty much evry

I've never read it but I just googled a section. fk me like, I understand every word, I'm from central Scotland and this is how I generally talk, but when you see it written, your brain reads it in a retarded voice, sounding it out wrong and taking a pure age to process it. 
Listened to train spotting, skag boys and porno all on audio book. I'm from Yorkshire and it took me a while to work out:k me like, I understand every word, I'm from central Scotland and this is how I generally talk, but when you see it written, your brain reads it in a retarded voice, sounding it out wrong and taking a pure age to process it.

And the rest,
I've seen too much of Ewan over the years now to be taken to the right place, but the second Spud comes on the screen... I'm back!
Begbie remains one of the scariest creations to ever hit the screen, I can watch horror films all night long, but they're not real...
And an E36 cab
What's not to like?

Can I take a moment of your time to urge you all to revisit the Trainspotting soundtrack CDs? Volume #1 and Volume #2 here for your enjoyment. I've listened to Born Slippy quite a few times today, so it feels right to remind the rest of you about the soundtrack as well.
I've had Pulp's Mile End running in my head for a few days now, in fact I was playing it before watching the film again and had completely forgotten it was used in the film. Spooky!
I've spent a few days humming it out loud whilst out shopping, and a few days learning the chords whilst sat at home strumming.
Guess it touches your soul a little deeper if you've lived there walking home past burning cars and seen coked up retards knife each other over a game of pool.

I wouldn't be the biggest fan of Pulp, but Mile End and Common People are absolutely cracking tracks. Pity I've no idea how to play guitar because learning the chords sounds like it would be enjoyable.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
