Do Dump or Marry: Bring It To A Steady Boyle

.
Happy birthday, Danny Boyle! The Brit director of more modern classics than you can shake a stick at is turning 59 today as he heads into the Oscar season with Steve Jobs, his best film in, well, a couple of years (I mean Trance was super weird but not especially horrible or anything) -- here's my review of Jobs from the NYFF in case you missed it. Anyway I got to thinking about all the super-skinny white boy anti-heroes Danny's gifted us with and an edition of "Do Dump or Marry" occurred to me...

Today's threesome is Jim (Cillian Murphy) in 28 Days Later, Renton (Ewan McGregor) in Trainspotting, and Steve (Michael Fassbender) in Steve Jobs. PS you are picking and choosing and tossing away the characters here, not the actors. 

Have at it in the comments!

Do Renton (and discard)
Marry Steve Jobs (because eventual JACKPOT)
Dump Jim (not because I want to but someone has to. Good luck with the zombies!)
