they probably wanted to have done it earlier but danny boyle was waiting until they had all visibly aged enough to make t2

>>78905083

>wait 20 years for a sequel
nobody did this

>>78904842

>dread sequel since it's announced

>>78905083
It's the loosest of loose adaptations.

>>78905102
Can confirm
Porno was fairly shit

>>78905102
Porno was better than Trainsporting.

You know what fucking month this is
You knew it was going to be shit
Why did you even get your hopes up during FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY?

>>78905143
was all the nostalgic shit in the film also in porno?

>>78905156
nice joke mate

I have a feeling this flick is just gonna divide people on this site because it's a story about mourning lost youth and despite thinking they "get it" the under 25 crowd will just dismiss it as nostalgia bait. Same way they did with At World's End.

>>78905246
So we won't understand because we weren't addicted to heroin?

>>78905246
maybe it's because i'm not nostalgic about my youth

>>78905246
AWE was fucking terrible though, whether you viewed it as nostalgia bait or not.

>>78905278
Exactly.

Everyone between the ages of 25 and 35 turned to heroin to deal with the 2007 crash. You kids just don't understand.

At least it wasn't communications.

It's not a nostalgia trip in a rose-tinted member berries sort of way, it's a film about the pain of nostalgia. Trainspotting was so of its time that it's easy to remember where you were at in life when you saw it, and so watching a sequel in which the characters lament their youth forces you to confront your own. I think the script is really clever.

What's wrong with a Communications degree?
It's a perfectly fine "blanket" degree and acceptable in multiple fields, unlike a lot of liberal arts ones out there.
Computer Science/STEM is an absolutely useless degree these days. Anyone getting a degree in that is setting themselves up for failure.

I didn't wait. Some things are not meant to have a sequel.

>It's not a nostalgia trip in a rose-tinted member berries sort of way
it kind of is at some points though. Why does he put his hand on the car after he falls off it? Why does he meet the teenager from the first one? Why does he go to a disgusting toilet? Why is there so many 'remember when this happened?' scenes etc

>>78905585
I do think there were too many visual cues but they're not there just to say "remember how good Trainspotting was?", they reinforce the theme and they're not just for the audience either. Mark is reminded of those moments too and it's all part of dealing with the consequences of his past. Not forgetting that he's running away from his present in this movie just like he did at the end of the original.

Despite the fact the millenials have turned nostalgia into a commercialized industry it actually used to have undertones of melancholy to it. When you actually have some distance between memories there is a kind of inherent pain once the fuzziness wears off, kiddo.

>>78905798
so why aren't these scenes considered fuzzy?

>>78905102
It was so bad i couldn't even finish reading it

>>78905837
They are though, look at it from the perspective of a character like Spud, who had a shitty time of it and still is rather than Rents who got out and can look back on it as his wild, fun, pre-epiphany youth. He walks out of the boxing club and realises he's on that street they ran down years ago and looks utterly fucking miserable seeing mid-90s Renton running past him while he stands there gawking, old and feeble and still a junky.
Begbie and Simon nearly fuck everything up because they cant let go of what Renton did, Veronica talks about how in her country they make a point of forgetting the past instead of trying to live in again in terrified desperation of your own mortality as you age. How much more did they need to spell it out to you?
Nostalgia = bad

It's alright. Wasn't expecting much and was happy to see it trying to be it's own film and not Trainspotting with everyone in their 40s/50s
