Danny Boyle and Ewan Mc Gregor are back on speaking terms after Boyle dropped Mc Gregor for Leonardo Di Caprio as the lead in his movie The Beach.

Rumors suggest that talks are underway on Trainspotting 2, revisiting the original cast as they reach their male, mid-life crisis stage.

Looking forward to the soundtrack they may use

If this is Porno - I can't wait!

Read that when I was travelling and loved every second.

Yes Its seems to be based on Porno. Rewriting it at present but Boyle needs Mc Gregor to come on board for it to be produced.
 
that I cannot wait to see. (if it happens.. many false dawns before)

TSPTG remains such an amazing film on so many levels - extremely funny, dark, and so true in the character observations. That scene in the pub after he's put on methadone and he's looking at the grey, so-called loved ones around him and he cannot wait to get out of it/away from them because they are so unbearable - says as much to me about life in the UK now as it did then. I continually reference it in my head. Irvine Welsh is a really funny raconteur too if you ever see him speak live.

I watched Home Alone (1) Sunday, its a classic for me at xmas. Never seen the 2nd one....
 
No , not really

I will end up watching whatever my Gran puts on

spanish tv similarly puts on the same films every christmas
 
Home Alone 1, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder version), Trains, Planes and Automobiles, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, plus The Snowman are the ones I always look forward to.
 
I used to enjoy the cartoon specials. A Charlie Brown Christmas, the Grinch, etc. Not sure if they show them in the UK.

Nowadays the one film I seem to end up watching yearly is the Irony of Fate (Ironia Sudby) - a Russian movie about a Muscovite who gets totally wasted drinking vodka with his friends at the banya (Russian sauna) on the day before New Years eve, accidentally gets put on a train to St Petersburg, gets a taxi to his address (generic street name), goes to the same number apartment, and passes out. The woman who lives there and finds him in her bed is not amused, but they fall in love by the end. Hopeless romantics, those Russians. :lol:
 
Whats the Christmas Carol like (new one with Jim Carrey) I quite fancied it but meant to be dark and not that xmassy?
