heiligekuhOn the way abck from the store I caught a bit of the Dave Davies interview with Danny Boyle. It was a bland, abckground Fresh Air interview, with the interviewer speaking in footnotes so that you could wander in to this conversation ignorant of all film since Gone With The Wind and still follow the conversation.
Then Davies tries to ask a question about Transpotting, and plays the first two minutes of this clip on the air. [Watch it for no other reason than to see how young McGreggor is and think how old that makes you]
I haven't seen Trainspotting since 99 at the lastest, but shouldn't there be a better clip for the radio? Not to mention that without the visuals, there's none of Boyle's work to consider in that clip. It's just McGreggor reading (close to verbatim) Welsh's writing, with the Lust for Life backbeat (also specified in the text). Boyle's work here in entirley in the composition of the individual shots and editing of the sequence, none of which make any impression in radio.
FAIL
