yea I like how Renton gets away with it.
I like the scene where Begbie and Sick Boy are arguing over not bringing the cards and when Renton yells at Sick Boy for selling his TV. There's a lot of scenes I like.

hope these pics work.

I'd say my favorite scene is the opening montage with Ewan's voice over and "Lust for Life" playing in the background. Weee.

Have you guys read the book? I really liked it alot. I've been wanting to read Porno for a while, but I haven't really found a way to get it past my mother yet.

I haven't read Trainspotting yet but I'm going to take it out of the library in the summer when I have more time.

is trainspotting hard to read with the scottish slang in it? i think i'll have a harder time reading porno cause once anyone in my family sees the title they'll have some kind of comment.

No, it's not that bad at all. I'll admit that at the beginning I did have some trouble, but you get used to it eventually. I found that reading it out loud helped at first. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

And some chapters don't even have the slang. Each character tells a few chapters from his or her point of view throughout the book. Some chapters are told from a third person point of view, and those are a good break from the chapters with the heavy slang.
