it was shit and completely invalidated the first movie, so sure watch it i guess.

in what way?

i never understood the opening scene of trainspotting until i went to 420chan and learned that opiates make you constipated

First movie: Commentary on the corrosive nature of nostalgia and falling into habits by comparison to drug addiction

Second movie: LMAO REMEMBER WhEN THIS HAPPENED IN TRAINSPOTTING

oh man its one of those kind of sequels

heard him mention twitter in the trailer

Junkies (and other addicts) often turn to drugs because they are more perceptive than the average person and need something to turn down the volume on reality. Non-addicts have better self-delusion capabilities (eg they believe in god).

yeah but what did you expect it to be right? like i would genuinely like to hear a good idea for a trainspotting sequel.

Well,not all junkies think they are smart, but those that do, its probably because of unbelievable rush of endorphins,
natural way of getting access to this high level of endorphins would probably be that you get 1 place(gold) on Olympics(you practiced 30 years for that event) while in the same time you are coming from best BJ from most talented porn actress, mixed with letter that you got 50 mill on lottery, all that on end line and it lasts for hours.
People always say "drugsrbad,mkay" but they never mention why some normal,smart,rational person is willing to literally let go of his life,future,family,friends and turn into caricature and ruin that dies soooo fast. It is really that good.
All you need to do is try once and never , ever again (that implies best quality drugs).
So,that's is probably why junkies live in illusion they are smart.
As far as T2 goes,idk, I watched t1 (back in a day)with friend who was totally against drugs(he was even mad on me because I called him to go watch drugs movie) ,but at the end,he really liked it.
So, if t2 is anything as t1, it should be satisfying black comedy/social satire on state of modern young people.(without whole drugs shtick)

they move to afghanistan to grow opium and hijinks ensue

I kind of liked the idea of the sequel already, a movie that develops Renton's friends more while exploring the middle-age crisis, with some bits of nostalgia here and here. If it were properly executed I'm sure it could easily be a gut-wrenching film.

Instead I got an okayish flick that left me wanting more, it really didn't go anywhere.

It isn't one of those sequels. All of the nods to the first movie are tasteful and subtle. However no one would give a shit about this movie if it were a stand alone. This whole film exists solely out of nostalgia for the first.

Sherlock Holmes used opiates, majority of my friends who turned into fiends had above average level of empathy,
some people are in it for the pleasure but some are just trying to self medicate themselves(because,too much feels/consiosnes//awareness/life is about accepting unacceptable.
Shame ,really, its like grim reapers net into best of young people.(rich fucks way of ensuring they stay rich)

>shitty ham fisted chose life monologue
>tasteful

>Sherlock Holmes
is a fictional character you dumbass burger

It wasn't shitty but it definitely was ham fisted.

The monologue was too iconic to have not at least attempted at an updated version.

>Choose revenge porn and fucking disgusting misogyny!!!

Actual literal quote from the 'update'

idk my ex is a junkie and he thinks because he reads a book a month he's some new age scholar

Sherlock Holmes is the creation of a genius observer of the human condition. Art reflects life.

>why do junkies think they're so smart
We don't. Who the shit told you that?

>Using fiction as evidence
Yeah, no. Not even ACD would agree with you. Reddit needs to leave.

Fuck man, trainspotting is in my top three films and that was painful to watch. I might just skip this.

i have an iq of 136 if you believe in iqs. i don't think i'm smart. i know i'm smart. why wouldn't i think i was smart? I have two BAs, an MA, and a PhD. what does that have to do with being a junkie?

>i only use drugs becuz im a special snowflake!
kys

youtube.com/watch?v=YZ1qSQcKD34

did they not capture the part where he mentions revenge porn and SICK misogynists on the internet?

What about 'posting about 9/11 being a hoax' xD

a book a month is (sadly) far above average, so there's some merit to him feeling that way

Oh yeah those druggies I see in Frankston are borderline Einstein.

It couldn't be just that I'm educated on the dangers of drug use, could it?

Have you considered that people reach a point at which the dangers of drug use no longer matter to them? If you've realized the truth -- that nothing matters -- and you have nothing validating your existence, then your knowledge of risks associated with drug use falls out of relevance.

The unrealistic element of movies like this is that attractive people suffer or have hard lives, but that's because sheep need muh nice faces in their movies.

>Renton falls off the top of the car, puts his hands on the bonnet and smiles crazily at the driver
>He's supposed to be desperately running away from someone who wants to kill him
In what way was that a tasteful and subtle nod

Wow, a fellow Frankston user.

I'm in Frankston South, don't see as many druggies here these days compared two ten years ago.

Or maybe these people are too stupid to find their own meaning for their time alive so they turn to an easy fix/a way out? Are drugs the only thing they're capable of enjoying?

That's hardly intelligence.

Unless you're retarded or privileged, you realize there is no meaning. "Finding your own meaning" is completely vacuous nonsense that morons repeat.

MFW I have no enjoyment in life and turned to drugs yet found no enjoyment in them either.

Super constipated. Except the scene wasn't really that accurate. It's more like you stop doing heroin, and then after 20 hours or so you realize that you have a squash that needs to come out of your asshole somehow. It's a bloody horrifying experience, until you realize that spending a minute or two lubing up your asshole helps it slide out like a giant 12 inch dick. In the movie it looked like he got a bad case of diarrhea, when in reality it's more like you start getting labor pains and have to give birth.

t. junkie on-and-off for three years

>Dude you're so vacuous drugs are the only answer xd
I don't mean meaning as in outright meaning you idiot. There are more healthy ways to enjoy your time on earth that don't involve sitting around doping yourself up and risking shortening that life. Why don't you just outright kill yourself if you hate life so much (not speaking to you directly, obviously). Drug use is a cop-out, not some enlightened emotional pursuit that only a select intellectually privileged few engage in.

Pretty much sums it up

But we all know somebody is going to read this and get angry that you made them feel negative emotions

>risking shortening that life

I could see arguing that there's a reason to live into your 30s, maybe even 40s, but that's the absolute limit. If you don't want to curse more people with existence by having and raising children, hoping they get lucky and turn out alright, what's the point of having a long life? Getting to watch your body fall apart and suffering the countless associated indignities?

Cokeheads like it because it make you feel euphoric and potent. They talk about themselves all the fucking time like if they were hot shit.

Explain niggers faggot

>"Finding your own meaning" is completely vacuous nonsense that morons repeat.
but that's basically what you do during your life faggot. What else are you expecting, being the edgy idiot that keeps saying that life don't matters but doesn't have the balls to kill himself?

>i have no friends or gf.
We know, that's why you're posting here.
> should i see this ?
I don't know.
>also why do junkies think they're so smart
I don't know any. Does your mum get all smug or something?

Finding your own meaning is an act of self-deception, not everyone is stupid enough or has enough rose tinting in their glasses to do so.

Finding what makes you happy and doing it is self-deception?

What makes people happy is rushes of dopamine, even if they deny it because they're uneducated. I was under the impression you were arguing "meaning" was distinct from that. I agree dopamine is the only reason to be alive.

Well we found the cubical desk cuck.

Just because you could never find direction/meaning in your shitty life doesn't mean everyone else in the world is in the same predicament.

just kill yourself and stop being an edgy faggot.

First movie: based off a novel

Second movie: written by Hollywood

Too real.

Yeah everyone's so uneducated man, you've got it all figured out.

We're all just lumps of flesh walking aimlessly on a big rock finding things to bring meaning to our lives until the inevitable happens, true?

Take your pessimistic pseudo-intellectualism and your fedora, and fuck right off.

My whole point is that you think your life has direction and meaning because you're a mindless chimp. Your life has no meaning, you're just a retard who was fooled into believing it does.

My biological mom did heroin and when she'd come over to visit she'd take massive shits and clog up our toilet. Disgusting. We made her break up her shits with a hanger

>What is oxytocin
>What is seratonin

THESE are happiness. What you are describing is joy

>What makes people happy is rushes of dopamine
Wow, a neuropsychologist is in our midst!

Over 90% of the planet honestly believes that they have a magical ghost living inside of them that's going to float off to a magical cloud utopia after their body dies, and yet you still make shitposts like this. It's blatantly obvious that most people can only cope with reality because they're gullible as shit and can't reason their way out of a paper bag. If it's not religion, it's astrology or some other "follow your dreams" mystical bullshit that they eat up because they're dumb as fuck.

>Just because you could never find direction/meaning in your shitty life doesn't mean everyone else in the world is in the same predicament.
kek,the annoying "2deep4u" edgelords I know have the same mindset. They don't know shit about other peoples lives but asume that everything is shit because their own life is boring.

Moments of acute happiness are the only thing that keeps people moving forward. 99% of life is complete shit, everyone is just perpetually "waiting for Friday," so to speak.

i know this struggle my dude
what do we do now?

Your gay porn folder of obese men wearing hats doesn't change how ridiculous it is that people think they have a magical ghost living inside of them that floats off to a magical cloud utopia after they die.

You're just proving my point about how much easier it is to cope when you're near brain dead. I can't even imagine living life as a dog or a cat or as you, where I could adjust my perception of reality by saving a bunch of obese men on my hard drive and looking at them daily.

They accurately assume you're retarded based on telling details that you overlook because you're dumb, such as misspelling simple words or actually typing out "kek" even though this act proves you're barely a person in terms of intelligence. They then make the connection between stupidity and contentment. They aren't "edgy," they're just a lot smarter than you and therefore carry a psychological burden thousands upon thousands of times larger than your own.

You're are such an edgy nihilist it's embarrassing.

My life has no meaning, to YOU. My life has plenty of meaning to me, I have a job I honestly really enjoy going to every day, a house that's nearly paid off, money on the side to go out and enjoy hobbies that I'm into.

If your life sucks dick, it's going to be impossible for you to comprehend meaning in life because your life has no purpose, no direction.

"follow your dreams" isn't come mystical bullshit, you probably just feel for the uni meme and thought you had to go to collage to make something of yourself.

It's hard to look at life from the glass have full perspective when your life sucks a bag of dicks.

Damn, I'm the atheist, but your post is fedora as fuck.

lmao OP junkies aren't smart I live around a bunch of goofball shooters and they straight up rob everyone in the complex and are broke as shit and smell like piss

Hopefully you get cancer. Make sure you re-read this post if you do. Piece of deluded shit.

psychological burden

Your only burden is your lack of perspective. Life is good faggot, take off the fedora, walk outside and smell the roses instead of your stench of stale Cheetos and body odor.

Does it upset you that even with cancer, i'd still be happier than you?

You're a joke, too chicken shit too kill yourself and too dumb to make something of yourself.

>Life is good

Unless you're starving to death in a war-torn village, disabled, ugly, have a low ceiling due to any number of factors, unlucky, etc. I assume you meant to say. Suffering from any number of conditions or states that reveal life is actually a horrible curse, and only in the event of extreme, outrageous privilege does a person have the ability to claim otherwise. It really is remarkable how beneficial stupidity is. You claim I lack perspective and yet your post might as well be the definition of a lack of perspective.

The endless ironies of brain dead cunts posting on the internet, acting like their opinions matter.

You're so fucking dumb that you've actually been conditioned into believing you like your job.

>I'm a good cog and I grease myself on the weekends to perform optimally, as any cog should! Repeat after me: I am fulfilled!

study meditation and some quantum physics. of you're a hopeless nihilist like I was, it's probably the only thing that will give your life meaning.

if**

Honestly, I'm sure the little starving niggers in Africa would still have a more positive outlook on life than you do, and they actually have a reason to be edgy.

You're implying that I don't own my own business and have people working under me. I do genuinely enjoy my job, I know that's impossible to comprehend when you've probably never worked an honest day in your life.

If he can't grasp how to enjoy the time he has on this earth, how is he going to grasp the complexities of quantum physics?

>how to enjoy life
>grasp
>something every ~*~*~YOLO~*~*~* and ~*~*~live, laugh, love~*~*~* spamming religious mongoloid who reads their horoscope in the morning does needs to be "grasped"

Given your hilariously bad logic here, I'm certain your smug condescension counts for nothing.

You don't enjoy your job, but you are a good little worker bee. Good boy, drool when the bell rings!

Repeat after me: Waking up to do the same repetitive, inane bullshit day after day for the rest of my life is gratifying. I enjoy it. Life is good. I enjoy it. I will save for retirement. I will look forward to the endless free time I will have after my body is broken and useless and the free time is no longer of use to me.

Is it fun LARPing as a neet? I've always wanted to try it

Only things I didn't like were the "First there's an opportunity, then a betrayal" being repeated over and over, and that choose life monologue went on for far too long. Apart from that I loved it

Also I suppose they could have reduced the amount of Trainspotting clips, though the use of Renton on the bridge at the start was fantastic

When you have a job, you become intimate with the knowledge that your life from that point forward is nothing but "Oh man, I can't wait for that week off in May." If anything NEETdom would allow you convince yourself it isn't that bad or bleak.

You wake up every day walk down to your mothers basement and shitpost on Sup Forums, trying to be the biggest edgelord you can be. Is this not repetitive?

You're projecting again. Just because your life is repetitive and mundane, does not mean mine is. I have never had two days of the same work, every day I need to manage new challenges and overcome new obstacles.

Are you really so dense that you don't understand your individual experience is inconsequential? Even if you aren't lying, your experience does not reflect the experience of 99.9% of people, so it isn't applicable.

It's MY EXPERIENCE, you fucking retard. So what if it doesn't reflect 99.9% of people, do you personally know 99.9% of people to say that they all have no purpose in life, no direction and are only happy due to ignorance and not because they're actually happy due to what they have in their life?

Everyone has different takes on life, some people float aimlessly with no direction or distinct purpose, others do the things they enjoy in life and find away to live happily and productively.

It's easy to be an edgelord and have a glass is half empty attitude to life, so I understand why you never grew the balls to take a risk and do something you enjoy and turn it into money. Not everyone can do it.

Can I ask though, if your life is so meaningless; why do you continue to live? Is it merely to assert your own ego, in thinking that you've got it worked out and that "having no meaning, is the meaning of life" or some edgy fedora tipping bullshit like that?

I'm honestly curious how someone such as your self bothers getting up in the morning.

I haven't seen a post that reflects more mad than yours in a long time. You're butthurt as fuck and it's hilarious.

You'd be butthurt too if starving niggers with aids still had a better outlook on life than you did.

You're using your experiences to argue a principle. I was arguing that you have to be either a moron or privileged to believe life is worthwhile.

>fedora
>edgy
>fedora tipping

You claim to own a business, you claim to not fit into the categories I've laid out, and yet here you prove that special ed teens with behavioral problems brainwashed you into adopting their vocabulary.

Survival isn't a choice, it's core programming that's billions of years old. Reasoning out that life belongs in the trash doesn't immediately lend a person the ability to put theirs where it belongs.

very legit, every single thing you do is a cope

Why do films demonize heroin use so much? Heroin is fucking awesome.

...

>come into this thread because I enjoyed the movie and was curious what Sup Forums thought of it
>nothing but philosophical shitflinging
Well, I guess the movie's doing exact what it's supposed to then. Must've been a good film. Thanks Sup Forums.

>Survival isnt a choice

Bullshit. People who truly embrace the philosophy you are espousing are the ones who actually kill themselves. They do it every day.

The problem with basic day one pessimistic philosophy is that it really leaves you nowhere to go. You either kill yourself, or you basically take all these deep dark truths at the heart of everything and toss them right in the fucking garbage. Who cares if life has a meaning or not? You and I and every other person on earth still have to get up in the morning and live that shit.
