Revision as of 20:20, October 22, 2010
, 20:20, October 22, 2010→Trainspotting
The graphic nature of this film (and the novel that inspired it) are not for comedic value, so it doesn't belong in the humor section. Trainspotting is about addiction, and though it's graphic and not at all pretty, it doesn't belong lumped with things like Family Guy or the American Pie movies.

: Hi Jane
:Thanks for catching my typo (Faily Guy - must be a Freudian slip). However, I'm going to disagree with you on this one. I've read the book and seen the movie and I know that the overall point of both is to convey the burden of addiction, but it's undeniable that parts of both are played up for comedic value. Like when Spud's feces ends up on on the kitchen wall, Renton takes (and loses, and finds) the suppositories (in the worst toilet in Scotland), Tommy loses the sex tape or Spud's speed-freak job interview. Would you seriously argue that those are not meant to be funny? [[User:EMorris|EMorris]] 16:20, 22 October 2010 (EDT)
