>>213059746 (OP) I agree, I loved the original movie so much that it was actually one of the first DVDs I ever bought in the early 2000s. This sequel was such a disapointment that I can barely rememeber a single thing about it. The first movie is jam-packed with memorable dialogue, shots, use of music, etc.

>>213060079 No, never worn it, sniffed it, or fucked it. It's never left it's box.
>>213060315 The second novel is called Porno, and it's about getting into the porn business. Sickboy is the one that's trying to pull it off. Renton escapes after scamming Sickboy, running to Europe to have a romance with Kelly MacDonald.

>>213060383 Yes, I know. I'm asking if trainspotting 2 was based on it or not. In highschool I read all the Irvine Wesh I could get my hands on, to the point where my internal monologue has been a thick edinburgh accent. By the time porno came out I just decided maybe I wouldn't bother reading it right away.
>>213060435 Oh, nah. As far as I'm aware (I've not seen it in forever), Renton is a wank who lives in London and visits back home, only for Bigby getting released from Prison and trying to hunt everybody down.

I watched some Youtube videos of it and it looked pretty good but not as good as the Youtube videos of Trainspotting I watched

I liked it but it definitely had major flaws
A couple I remember
>have Kelly Mac Donald show up but itโs basically a cameo and seems pointless, maybe schedules conflicted but seeing them reconnect more (even if just as friends) would have been interesting given sheโs a proper adult and mark isnโt >sickboys prostitute girlfriend is basically a non character and feels completely fake. Terrible writing >begbie escapes prison. Goes home. For some reason at no point do the authorities check his fucking HOME for where he may have fled?
>>213060745 >For some reason at no point do the authorities check his fucking HOME for where he may have fled? Budget cuts to the constables coupled with the increase in truck and knife attacks meant there was no one they could send to investigate

They still junkies? I remember when they announced this I loved the original and thought I'd watch the sequel and then it came out and somehow I'd lost my window of interest
