We watched Trainspotting, not knowing much about it, when I was pregnant with Ben. Big mistake. Huge.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Big mistake. Huge.
Ouch. Yup.

A friend of mine has a mother-in-law who fervently believes that everything Scottish is just twee and wonderful, so her house is full of plaids, et cetera. He keeps saying that when she gets on his bad side, he's going to send her Trainspotting and see what reaction it evokes.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I think that's the quote from the book, rather than the one used in the movie, but I though Trainspotting was awesome.
Plus, that opening monologue is set to Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life", which is possibly the greatest opening song for a film ever. Well, there could be greater ones, but nothing's coming to my mind at the moment.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"Be My Baby" for Mean Streets?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"Little Green Bag" in RESERVOIR DOGS (and PULP FICTION & JACKIE BROWN have pretty much killer opening songs too).

"Be My Baby" for Mean Streets?
Ahh, never seen it. I have a big Martin Scorcese (and Francis Coppola) -shaped hole in my movie-viewing experience that I don't particularly want to fill.
I have the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack and everything, yet my brain is refusing to remember anything other than "Stuck In the Middle With You", which I am no longer able to enjoy without shuddering.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Watched "The Departed" last night. I quite enjoyed it, and I loved the soundtrack.
