SMcoolJ Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I watched Event Horizon last night (I know it's from 2016, sorry) and thought it was pretty good. Did a decent job of highlighting the financial pressures versus the processes. Hopefully helps people understand why the folks on the rigs get paid what they get paid. Dangerous places.

Toepoke Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Was the original Trainspotting not set in the 1980s? If so the sequel should have been set about 10 years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye So much so that it is one of a small group of films that i wont watch again and not because they are crap. The Shining is an obvious one but the most prevalent is Eden Lake, a small budget British film starring Michael Fassbender Its more disturbing than anything i have watched before or since - mainly because it is a reflection of today's society in many parts of the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary as feck but utterly brilliant. Stephen King wrote a sequel a few years ago called Dr Sleep. Im hoping it will get the film treatment but only if they can make sure it's done with a good budget and a proper cast. The story is not as scary as The Shining but in the hands of the right Director it could be something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back to the first film it's hard to tell if it's set in 1996 or 1986, that Tory Scotland, pre devolution, pre internet time when things seemed to change very slowly.

I was actually a little disappointed with Begbie's character this time. Think the accent didn't help. Was nothing like his original one (which I think made him sound funnier). Good film though.

It's all fluid and abigouis http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/faq?mode=desktop#.2.1.10 Seeing that the whole film Imo is about time, plays in to that fluidity. Seems t 2 set today and refer to Renton age as 46 (therefore born 70/71 I guess), Refer to Tommy being 23 when he dies. So more likely film set 90s when in their 20s not teens.

Fairbairn Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Seen it last night and loved it. Really well done and the scene in the Orange Halls is one of the funniest things I've seen in ages!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 T2 booked for Tues night. Watched the first one last night as a wee refresher. Also believe there is a scene with renton as a wee boy, apparently played by a kid at my kids school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
