The acid house

Mr Creosote · 1st May 2005, 09:27 PM

anyone seen this? based on 3 short stories taken from the book by irvine welsh, the guy who wrote trainspotting. i think it's a far more realistic portrayal of scotland than trainspotting was, which, lets face it, as good a film as it was, was pretty much a fashion show for heroin chic. loads of mad metaphysical shit going on, not to mention boab and doreen. imagine that's your mum and dad. go on imagine it. "aw no, doreen, no the shite..........."

I have it on VHS. But I haven't watched it in AGES.
I remember liking the baby one the best, although it freaked me out just a tad.

I read the book and loved it! Not got round to watching it though, but would like to

I have to look away when I see the baby. It just creeps me out that much.

I remember being scared shitless of the baby when I accidentally watched this late one night. I'd like to see it again though.

i went to see aberfeldy a wee while ago.

you know on "a soft touch", the really hard guy that beats people up and dances to marc bolan?

at the gig everyone was sitting on the floor quite tightly packed together, then about 6 foot from the stage, "hard guy" stands up and starts skippy dancing in an odd way.

hmm.

great film but

It looked like he was pals with the drummer.

When I realised it was him I thought;

I've seen your piece.
