Looks great, can't wait! :ok

T2, Can It Live Up To The Original?

Post by RayThom »

If those elements in this trailer unfold with the same gravitas throughout, this film will eclipse the original. Jonny Lee Miller's Sick Boy has an intensity that really draws you in... and holds you. I'm looking forward to this.

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

It would be an improvement re remake Terminator 2. But as for the actual thing - blech! Another fine movie I shall ignore and be the better man for it

Choose life.
Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere cares.
Choose looking up old flames, wishing you'd done it all differently.
And choose watching history repeat itself.
Choose your future.
Choose reality TV, slut shaming, revenge porn.
Choose a zero-hour contract, a two hour journey to work.
And choose the same for your kids, only worse, and smother the pain with an unknown dose of an unknown drug made in somebody's kitchen.
And then... take a deep breath.
You're an addict.
So be addicted, just be addicted to something else.
Choose the ones you love.
Choose your future.
Choose life.
Utterly fucking fantastic, saw it while we were up in Sydney.

I'm a Johnny Lee Miller fan. He's brilliant no matter the character.

T2 looks quite interesting. If Sick Boy is as good as he was in T1 then it will be worth the price of admission.

Thanks for the heads up.

Oh he is Ray mate, as are all the cast. Begbie/Carlyle is superb.
