as far as "Mainstream drug film with some artful direction" goes, trainspotting is 50 million times better. requiem just annoys me. one of those films, along with donnie darko, that actually gets worse after the first time you watch it. cuz when i first watched requiem i was like "oh okay, this film's pretty cool." i tried watching it again with my girlfriend and i was like "wow, the acting in this film is TERRIBLE..." then, by the third time i watched it, i was like, "wow. this is, like, everyone's favorite movie. and it SUCKS ASS." and before anyone says anything, i don't just dislike it because everyone else started liking it or something; i love fight club and memento. but requiem is just overrated dog shit. and not disturbing at all... we all have our addictions, so fucking what. don't do heroin, you idiot.

ohh i hear you, i first watched it at this really dark and lonely house with a friend and it was blaring all the cut scenes and cheap audio effects got to my nerves because the plot was fucking boring!!! i was like shut the fuck up, i actually asked my friend to take it off and he said "too disturbing?" and i was like "no, it's making me fucking nervous" so we kept watching it and when (and i really don't give a shit about giving away plot developments so skip this if you haven't seen it) when they amputated j.le's arm i was like "give me a fucking break!" the double dildo scene, were we supposed to be saddened on how low she got to get her fix?, BOO fucking HOO.
first time i saw it, last time i saw it.
spun is such a much better film mainly because it doesn't preach (what nimrod in the world besides courtney love doesn't know heroin is bad?), it's effects, camera work and score are used to tell the story and not look flashy and the acting kicks ass. hell, i feel bad for everyone in that movie...and we're talking about a movie with billy corgan singing most of the songs and actually appearing on it. BILLY fucking CORGAN!

when i was little i got really freaked out by it, i never liked fucking clowns, i remember i watched this women in prison movie when i was like nine, brooms on pussies and asses, switchblade fights, the whole maguila, and i thought it was really dumb.
