I remember our class teacher showed us trainspotting in school (in an educational "drugs are bad" kind of way). one girl got sick when the "worst toilet in scotland" scene started.
crazy motherfucker!

At least it wasn't Trainspotting 2. I'd take an overdose of smack just to get the hell out of there.

Well, I'm aggravated right now. I finally got around to trying to watch that Criterion Blu-Ray set with Freaks, The Unknown, and The Mystic, but for whatever reason, the discs won't load. I put both of them in my player, it goes to the black screen, but instead of the Criterion Collection logo appearing in the upper left-hand corner, nothing happens. It just sits there and never loads. Since I have a region-free Blu-Ray player, I thought I might've had it on the wrong Region, as I watched a Region B disc the other night, but no, the region coding is correct. And just to make sure it wasn't the player, I put in another Criterion disc that came out last year and it loaded perfectly. So, I don't know what the problem is. Has anyone else had issues with that release?

I got it for Christmas and watched it a few weeks ago with no problems. I've got a Region Free Sony UHD player for whatever that's worth.

Odd. I haven't seen anyone else mention any problems with loading the discs. Could be a firmware issue.

Odd. Could be a firmware issue.

What does that mean? I'm not good with technology.

The software that runs your Blu ray player is the firmware. How old is the player Cody?

And does it have WIFI? Might have to connect it to your household wifi network and do an update.

It's a little over seven years old. The thing is, though, I put in another Blu-Ray that also came out last year and it loaded no trouble.

I don't know. Never had a reason to look into it.
