For some reason this film ("Trainspotting") is giving me the serious munchies.

We're up to the AIDS bit of the film.
It is a useful reminder of what those early days were like.

It's an amazing film. I saw it in the cinema when it came out, and got my then gf to get me the "special edition" VHS for Christmas that year.
I've still got the tape and am on my second copy of the DVD, the first having been borrowed on the "never-to-be-returned" plan by somebody.
You should read the book as well - the Scottish dialect is heavy going for the first four pages or so, but then you get in the way of it, and it's an incredible read.
The sequel "Porno" is well worth reading, too - no sign of a film of that yetComment
