I don’t suppose anyone can explain why this review has suddenly started getting a bizarrely high number of hits?
I’m not talking one or two more than other old reviews; I’m talking the second most-viewed page of my blog ever (behind the main page) by a couple of hundred hits — and all of that in the last few days / week. Most just say they’re from “http://filmjournal.net/100films/2007/04/02/29-trainspotting-1996/trackback/” according to Counterize, which is rather unhelpful.
