Got this on DVD recently and you just find it so shocking and interesting. Previously I had caught bits of it here and there but I now just saw it in all it's entirety. Those thick scottish accents are a bit hard to follow at times, I was looking for the subtitles for a sec ahah. Good movie.

Boring is the last criticism I would have expected to hear. Trainspottin had glued to the screen. So intense.

Yeah no kidding man, I mean boring in what respect, the comment about it being "cool" and "boring" seemed a bit contradictory that's all. The soundtrack rocked, yes. The part where the main character is going through withdrawl in his bedroom and the baby on the ceiling, etc I like how that minimal dance beat is in the background. And also little things like how you see the ambulance drive by without picking him up after ODing and they had to call a cab and all that. In the US, people are a little more considerate than that.. but I can understand it being different in other parts of the world. I wonder if that scene with the cab/OD was really that far from the truth.

yeah...trainspotting is very cool.. very surreal at times..like when renton is sitting in the bar motionless..and everyone is moving super fast around him..
oh and leftrightronic...that "minimal dance beat" from the withdrawl scene is
dark and long (dark train) by underworld...cool track..check it out

If you thought the film was hard to follow due to the accents try reading the book or "Filth" by the same author (bette rin my opinion), they're both in "scotch".

There's a second soundtrack? I've always wondered where those other songs from the film ended up. Is it as enjoyable as the first?

I'm downloading it now, I can tell ya in a bit.
Trainspotting is one my favorite movies ( Fight Club being numero uno)
The ending with born slippy? That's genius.
