Train Spotting

[glen]

Does anyone have this film on VD, and want to rip the sound track off of it?
I may just buy the DVD and do it myself. how does one do such a thing?
Basically I want to end up being able to cut out soem of the more brilliant lines from the film, such as:

Ursula Andress was the quintessential Bond girl. That's what everyone says. The embodiment of his superiority to us: beautiful, exotic, highly sexual and yet unavailable to everyone but him. Shite. Let's face it: if she'd shag one punter from Edinburgh, she'd shag the fvcking lot of us.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family, Choose a fvcking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fvcking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-crushing game shows, stuffing fvcking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fvcked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

RENTON
Yeah. No more. I'm finished with that sh!te.
SWANNEY
Well, it's up to you.
RENTON
I'm going to get it right this time. Going to get it set up and get off it for good.
SWANNEY
Sure, sure. I've heard it before.
RENTON
The Sick Boy method.
They both look at Sick Boy
SWANNEY
Yeah, well, it surely worked for him.
RENTON
He's always been lacking in moral fibre.
SWANNEY
He knows a lot about Sean Connery.
RENTON
That's hardly a substitute.
SWANNEY
you'll need one more hit.

I hated this movie with a passion. It was the worst movie I've ever purchased.

I bought it on a whim because I've heard everyone saying it's so clever and well-written... but it mostly turned out to be stoner and poop jokes

You definitely missed the point of the film, then. There is a great theme of personal redemption and hope, but you've got to be able to look past the all the drugs and filth. One of the reason that is IS so clever is because it is a great story masquerading as a stoner film.

Did you watch the whole movie?

It is entirely possible you are correct, and saw somethign that no one else did, and understood the film to be sh!te. Or, you missed something.
With a RottenTomatoes rating over 89% and you with no major newspaper carrying your articles, I tend to believe that like Spud?s interview, you were oblivious to the obvious:
No. Well, yes. You have to admit it: You?re a perfectionist. For you, it's the best or nothing at all. If things go badly, you can't be bothered, but you have a good feeling about your movie review. Seems to you like it's gone pretty well. You've touched on a lot of subjects, a lot of things to think about, for all of us.

I loved that movie, its a classic.

"Do you see the beast? Do you have him in your sights?"
"Clear enough, Moneypenny. This should present no significant problem."

and one bottle of Valium, which I have already procured, from my mother, who is, in her own domestic and socially acceptable way, also a drug addict.

The line that made me LMAO was right after Renton first got with that underage chick, something like:
"I haven't felt that good since Archie Gammel scored against Holland in 1978!"

I liked it more than I thought I would.
The dead baby was disturbing.

I don't usually yell at my television, but during that whole scene I was like..."PLEASE DON'T FALL ON HIM"

the people who say that it was just a stoner are the same people who say that fight club was just a sh!tty action movie. It's all about how much you care to read into it and think about the deeper social concepts it presents.

Renton and Diane have sex.
"Christ, I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978."

That movie is so brilliant.

Isn't that goal later shown in that movie that's supposed to be the ""other"" tape? I thought that was what made it the best.

Oh no, I do see the points they are making and all, and they do an EXCELLENT job of showing the details of the lifestyle, but for me it was all just ruined by them blowing a lot of things way out there... and the whole movie seemed to be going nowhere the entire time. It's like... oh, we might have a plot here... wait wait.. here it comes... OH.. LET'S CHANGE THIS WHOLE THING WHILE WE GET SO CLOSE TO FORMING A THOUGHT PATTERN...
