Re-run of currently watching

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Maybe it's hard to believe, but this weekend for the first time i've watched Trainspotting and I've found amusing, funny as sad. Nevertheless very good movie.

The second one's good too.
I actually cried when the Choose Life speech happened.
Cheers.

It's fascinating that, when it comes to movie with status cult (which doesn't mean that it has/had commercial success at the time of debut in cinema), there's almost exclusively one that factor - sad one of the main in scope of emotions that such work stirs.
In Trainspotting there's nothing that could be called silver lining, there's no happy end, life of every main character was shaterred, even the decent life, however true, it's so ... true.

Aye that got big reviews and a big audience when it was originally broadcasted a few years ago. John Le Carre wholeheartedly approved of the many changes they'd done to his original story in order to put it on the 'idiot box' :wink: 8)

yes very funny. this has sparked a complete Partridge renaisance: as well as watching both series of 'I'm Alan Partridge' (possibly the funniest Partridge outing) i d/l a torrent from TPB which had over 6gb of Chris Morris stuff; including all the "Day Today" and "Brasseye".

Watched the first two episodes last night. Quite liking it; moreso than season 1, I think. Delightfully weird.

Does anyone else giggle like a 13 year old when ever they mention "the movements"?

Just got through "syzygy" last night. Did not expect that! Which points to exactly what I like about the show - it actually surprises me.

I'm a couple of eps ahead, and it continues to surprise - I love that there's this "keep an open mind" vibe going on, it doesn't so much test your credulity as make you question your perception of the world around you - it dovetails nicely with Pratchett's concept of the multiverse ("the trousers of time") which I've long been fond of.
