they show TONS of Bruges... and calling it a shithole is kindof done in a more comedic way by collin farrells character... so dont take it personally... the other characters say its like a fairy tale... seeing the movie was enough to make me wanna check it out when im over in europe next year... not to mention i wouldve been there anyway to check out the flemish art

I agree... Collin watch it! Brendan Gleesons character loves Bruges and it's almost like a tourist movie for Bruges... Colin Farrell is just out for a mad time which he can't find in Bruges so he calls it a shithole. I've heard they're doing 'In Bruges tours' now.

I would say Americans get the worst rap in the film

Love the whole accusing the Canadian for being American thing. Really, it's true, we can't really tell.

I've often accused Americans of being canadian. Sometimes the accent is soooo pronounced and they say oat instead of out and all... so I'm positive enough to ask 'eh, what part of Canada are you from?' 'emmm... Wisconsin' :mad:

The runnign jokes on Americans was one of the funniest things in the movie. Especially the three Americans that are warned not to climb the tower. And the scene with the Canadian couple at the restaurant was great.

I want to see this movie but every time i go to rent it, its out. Why is it video stores get 50 copies of piece's of shit like Jumper and 3 copies of good ones.

decides2dream

it's on our netflix queue....can't wait to see it!
the previews always looked awesome, good reviews, but never managed to get to see it in the theatre. psyched though since we have our new 52" TV and upgraded surround system, so every film we watch, even one we've seen numerous times.....excellent!



btw - i only spent a couple of hours in bruges - in transit to amsterdam - and i thought it a beautiful city! i'd love to REALLY get to visit and see it all.

I haven't seen it yet. I'm sure it will be on one of the gazillion movie channels I have

You from the States?
Yeah. But don't hold it against me.
I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass.

The mannerisms in the way they did it was brilliant. Brendan Gleeson's world weariness, and Jordan Prentice's perfect capture of the 'ugh, loud crass American tourists' awareness in that one line... the humour in the whole film, encapsulated in this one short scene.

That was good..

oh that is just FailedP speak for "herpes" I don't pronounce the "eee's" part...

I like to use it when I am with the boys ie: "dude, put it away man, that girl is a walking case of the herp..."

"seriously?? you are goin' after that? better call your pharmacist, make sure your valtrex prescription is okay...and prepare yourself for the herp"



how've you been Champ? err, I mean "the Champ" as opposed to ""the Herp"

Aside from all the fat American jokes, there is even a crazy drunk little midget running around in the movie..well, I guess 'little' really wasn't needed in that description as I've never met a tall/big midget before..anyway..

Yeah, I bought into the hype which left me a tad disappointed. I'd give it 3 out of 4 stars.

just saw this movie, i loved it! i don't have a problem with colin farrell, and he is amazing in this. the writing is soo funny and dark. my theatre company did one of the plays martin mcdonagh wrote, and holy hell it was dark. but funny too. if you guys get a chance check out one of his plays, the writing is brilliant.

The hubby and I were actually surprised by how good it was...considering we didn't hear much buzz about it at all.

once again - I love the hell out of this movie - any movie that features a judo chop to a midget is feckin rad!

beautiful movie...absolutely great!
