T2?! Seriously what an awful title....


Although... If they're calling it T2 they should go the whole hog and call it "T2: Giro Day" that's what I'll be calling it at least

Maybe they should have called it T20. Still not great, but at least a bit more logically literal.
Also, that way, in another 20 years, they could make another sequel, called WT40 (har-de-har-har) - see, 'cause they'll be REALLY old, with creaky joints, hence the non-copyright-infringement reference to WD40. So funny that I made myself a little sad.

Too late."

I propose from now on we all just refer to this movie by its real title of "Porno." I refuse to even utter this craptastic, marketing title dreamed up by some executives sitting in an office.

Edit: Well I just found out that the movie won't have much to do with the book other than a few tie-ins, for the most part it's going to be its own thing, but point still stands... The title sucks

The executives were very much against it. It was Danny Boyle's idea, he's stated in interviews that the execs hated it and told him he couldn't use it because James Cameron would sue.

nah it's genius man

Trainspotting was all about movie knowledge, as demonstrated by the scenes between Sick Boy and Renton

Also Begbie is coming back like a terminator lol

T2 is a nice callback to the 90's
