Why did this thread run on after this trevastating blow? I for one will not be reading the rest. Deary me.
Trainspotting is a good film but it's one very much of its time. It encapsulates the 90s (even though the book is set in the 80s IIRC) but it's very much in the Britpop, post-rave, Blairite infused Great Britain. Funny, though. ER wont like it because he's a ****y Nigel who doesn't understand Rabelaisian type humour.
I know Irvine Welsh and he's actually quite tall. He did tell me he based the main character in Marabou Stork Nightmares on you though.
I was waiting for someone to point that out and, lo and behold, along comes Mr Predictable 2018. Blair was the nation's darling in 1995, the leader-in-waiting that could do no wrong, hence why I wrote what I wrote. Now, **** off you shoebox headed ****.
Tbh I am stunned we are discussing the worst film on the list I posted and the other three have been ignored. That Sinking feeling is genius. Local hero a gem.
