I just don't get it...

Rating: 3/10 (28 June 2002)

I'm normally one that "gets it", pertaining to movies that have extensive use of symbolism, deep messages, hidden meanings, etc. etc. ... but I cannot for the life of me figure out why Trainspotting has any sort of following whatsoever.
Y'know, I already wasted $2.15 and 94 minutes on this movie, so I do not plan on writing a lengthy appeal to the IMDB visitors on why they should avoid this movie at all costs. I merely wish to let others know that possibly, in my opinion, the popularity of this film may have been due to a simple "bandwagon" effect.
And by the way, those that have compared Trainspotting to Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas may not have even seen F&L, as there is nothing connecting the two other than the word "drugs". Fear & Loathing is Academy Award material compared to Trainspotting.
