But it essentially spread to the middle classes and consequentially had this 'mockney' thing. For me it was the culture of the moron, perhaps the only sub-culture which promoted stupidity and anti-intellectualism, seeing 'dumbness' as something cool. Where I live, the North East brand of chavdom, this whiney slow brainless accent was adopted which particularly grated (a bit like the above but in Geordie with terms like 'belter' used). I do not know why you defend it so much seeing as it definitely had a 'white trash' veneer, and I hasten to bet that many chavs were casual racists. I know him. His real name's Christian and he's an English graduate from Doncaster. He used to share a student house with a mate of mine. We nicked his Fanta out of the fridge to use for mixers one night and he went off on one. Edited August 1, 2016 by Dazey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I just do not know how that is going to work, seeing them old in 2016. The original was so synonymous with the 1990s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I gotta say that second trailer looks fuckin' brilliant. A little overly action packed but what the hell, if they can make it work then make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Kinda agree with Daisy, but you never know. That trailer does look cool. I'll check it out since it's Trainspotting. Edited November 3, 2016 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 It is ironic as the original provided this, Quote Sick Boy: It's certainly a phenomenon in all walks of life. Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: What do you mean? Sick Boy: Well, at one time, you've got it, and then you lose it, and it's gone forever. All walks of life: George Best, for example. Had it, lost it. Or David Bowie, or Lou Reed... Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Some of his solo stuff's not bad. Sick Boy: No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite. Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: So who else? Sick Boy: Charlie Nicholas, David Niven, Malcolm McLaren, Elvis Presley... Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: OK, OK, so what's the point you're trying to make? Sick Boy: All I'm trying to do is help you understand that The Name of The Rose is merely a blip on an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory. Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: What about The Untouchables? Sick Boy: I don't rate that at all. Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Despite the Academy Award? Sick Boy: That means fuck all. Its a sympathy vote. Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Right. So we all get old and then we can't hack it anymore. Is that it? Sick Boy: Yeah. Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: That's your theory? Sick Boy: Yeah. Beautifully fucking illustrated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original was so synonymous with the 1990s. I feel bad saying this because I usually like to give films a fair shot but I really dislike it so far based on the trailer. I can't quite get past the mindset that it should never have been made in the first place. An iconic film like Trainspotting should have just been left be to stand on it's own, now this will probably always be a sub par footnote that the original has to carry. Totally biased and unreasonable opinion I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has pretty big following in Serbia (and I think Croatia, or at least in Zagreb) for example too. It meant a lot here and still does actually. Hype for T2 is pretty fucking big It's not in cinemas here yet but I did listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWWd-4pi3zQ and it got me hyped even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
