He loves cinema and the title of his blog "It's quite an experience" is from Blade Runner. Remember the scene of Deckard and Batty are fighting:
"Batty: Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave."
He did post this opening scene of Trainspotting. "Genius there is no other word for it", as Matt publish some of his amazing findings.
Thank for this one Radagast.

Oh my! what a statement!
I love it. Totally!
Yes.........
I love it too!
I always think about it when I'm hating... "slave"...
no... not a good connection.
Quite a statement....
:)
I don't think that quotation is taken directly from the text of Philip K Dick's book (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep), but it's a profoundly philosophical story, as is the movie. For example, at the very moment that Batty acknowledges his fear (and thus his enslavement), he's released from it. The irony of inferior beings (humans), holding their superiors (replicants), enslaved is also an intriguing one.
Anyway, thanks for the shout, Ana. The soundtrack to Trainspotting is also quite impressive. Some good tracks, which, for once, don't overshadow the movie itself. There's a sequence featuring Lou Reed's "Perfect Day," for example.

I didn't read the book but it sounds like something that was not written without previous rambling...
it might have been from him or the screen-player.
Yes... released cause he said and knew he was a slave.
Wish we all could know the origin of some anguishes.
Love Lou Reed.
Thank you Matt.
Love,
Ana
