Miller Jambo 60 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Watched it last night again, and never get tired of it, Great acting from Ewan McGregor and Carlyle.

Boris Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Meh. Was good at the time but now seems rather dated. Also felt, at the time, that the film was only one interpretation or aspect of the book. You could've made three or four films from the book. IMO. Welsh is a scrotum as well.

Gershwin Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Was showing at the filmhouse last week....meant to go along but completely forgot. Love it. The soundtrack, the screenplay, the acting, the art direction and obviously the direction itself. The whole production was brilliant. I'd still love to see them make 'Porno', even though it will probably be balls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Only film I like Ewan McGregor in. Trainspotting apart he's got this nippy bullish*t Scottish accent that I can't stand. I can't watch him in the Star Wars films he makes me cringe. Trainspotting is a great book and movie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, apparently the reason it hasn't been done is because McGregor fell out with director Danny Boyle, when Boyle overlooked him in favour of Leo DiCaprio in another film.

Mister Dee Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I believe it's a great film, but I'll never watch it. I know this makes me sound a real weirdo, but I'd never watch any film/buy any book that would put any money in that Hibs supporting wanna-be casuals pocket. I can't stand him.

Jambothump Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 It's weird, don't know if it was Porno or not, but I recognised most of the people he described in the book set mostly in Saughton Mains. jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychocAndy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 He stayed in the next stair to me in Muirhouse Ave when we were kids. He is a few years older than me and was shit at fitba' and fighting, that's why he writes about it all the time. A guy I know, he's a Jambo, had an argument about how he portrayed Muirhouse and Pilton and then pished off when he made his money but the people still had to try and find jobs who lived there. Welshie told him to do one and John punched him, knocking him down the stairs of the VIP area at the Assembly Rooms,it's not just nobodies I know, you know. Mind you he also done it to Gerry Sadowitz too, for picking on a midget in the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjoheed Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Great film, except for the montage scene of random bits of London set to a euro-cheese soundtrack. What the hell were they thinking with that bit? I agree with this - I also hate the fantasy bit with Dale Winton in it. Really liked the book but thought the film could have been better.

It is very different to the book. I like both actually but also agree that Welsh is a Scrotum. Read a few of his books and would like to see Porno made into a film if Boyle and MacGregor can ever sort out their differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southside1874 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Fair play to the guy. he brought that kind of impressionist art to literature. Say/paint what you see. It was the first time I read a book in slang and I could identify with the characters. Danny Boyle did a great job bringing it to film but its not up there with the great films. Its had its time but........I adopt the romantic view of Sir Walter as by Jambo affiliation to such movies as Rob Roy and Braveheart..........

Rob Roy is a great book, one of my favourites after waverley. Interesting to though that the film and the book are completely unrelated in this case too. Film wasn't too bad... the bit where he grabs Roth's sword and then cleaves him is a good "YAS" moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh does come across as an utter Tommy Tank mind. Yes, that'll be right enough, scary though affinity I had with the people in that book. Irving Welsh does come over as a welt, writing to my perception in the third person, but where did his sources come from ? jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
