Trainspotting? That one, I get. It was a brilliant film. A classic one. They should show that film in high school so that kids will understand what the nigh-literal hell heroin does to you*. But I do not ken why we needed a sequel. Was there an outcry that I missed?
*I am aware that other people have argued otherwise; I think that they’re wrong. Trainspotting struck me as ultimately being a powerful argument against drug use. Admittedly, the schools would blanch at showing anti-drug movies involving sex scenes with underage characters, which upon reflection is a bit of a deal-killer there, given the circumstances. Still. If you’re looking for a glamour-less look at drug use, here you go.
a couple of weeks ago, over at my mom’s. She absolutely insisted that it was worth my time, and it was; my only quibble is that the message of ‘the only way to deal with a Viking horde is to run away’ would come as a bit of a surprise to, say, Brian Boru*.
. Which was a very good, yet very messed up, film.
