Trainspotting rules!
Its one of the many movies I watched alot when I was in college with my friends. It has some of the funniest, craziest weird stuff in it. I loved it. Its like a druggie Reservoir Dogs.
I think its a much better film than Basketball Diaries. BD was mediocre, and it was almost nothing like the book by Jim Carroll (I’m a huge Jim Carroll Band fan, GREAT music!). It really didnt show the dangers of heroin use as vividly and creatively as Trainspotting did. Also, after seeing Trainspotting, you would never wanna go near heroin.
My favorite parts of Trainspotting:
- The baby crawling on the ceiling ( this creeped me the hell out)
- Spud shitting the bed (I was laughing so hard the first time I saw this, I nearly shit MYSELF)
- Ewan McGregor diving into the toilet to get the heroin at the bottom.
