But Trainspotting doesn't have Jennifer Connelly.
The di1do scene was certainly memorable.

I found Mia Farrow incredibly annoying in that movie (but I guess that was the point). Daisy: *crying* "I've never seen such beautiful shirts!" *sobs*

Poor Gatsby.

Thanks for the comparisons between Requiem and Trainspotting.

Very literally laughed out loud! That's a great detail, ribbons !

Can't stand her! And don't get me started on Tom Buchanan.

Is it ok or is it pervy to make love to shirts?

They're very different movies. Requiem for a Dream is way more disturbing.

I dunno I think Trainspotting is somehow more disturbing because of the drastic shifts in tone, you'll have a comical scene where Ewan McGregor crawls into a toilet one moment and a scene where a f*cking baby dies the next. You have characters like Sick Boy and Begbie who are funny at first but then they turn out to be complete monsters. It's a film that drops really heavy sh*t on you when you least expect it and the contrast of the comedy makes those moments stick out more for me.

Requiem for a Dream meanwhile is one big crescendo of increasingly depressing stuff, it's all very sad but the film builds up to it so there's nothing quite as jarring as some of those scenes in Trainspotting that hit you like, well... a train.

Poor Gatsby.
The movie was really ****ing bad. It's like if Good Morning America produced it. Here's a story about a flawed man who never felt he was worth anything, and pursued a life of crime to get the money he loved.

Baz Luhrmann: "Let's put Jay-Z in it!"

I remember at the time he said something like "Jazz was new for them, and Rap is like that now." But Gatsby game out in 2013. Like, 30 years after rap was new.

Baz Luhrmann is the worst. His movies make Zack Snyder look like high art.
