    Hubby and I rented the movie last night. We really enjoyed it. We both want to visit Bruges. I too like the dark comedy genre. And the ending "I want to live" was too good. The odd part though is after Harry shot Ray and the midget, and Harry was getting ready to blow his own head off because he thought he had shot "a kid" it looked like Ray was trying to tell him "it's not a kid." Why would he do that? I hated Harry, and I wanted him to blow his own head off. Anyway, the characters were three dimensional and interesting.

    I had never heard of this until I was browsing movies on netflix last week. It is in my queue now. I CAN'T STAND Colin Farrell but I thought I'd give this movie a shot anyway :o

    I love Medieval towns and wouldn't mind a visit there. But if they really wanted the "fairy tale town" as they kept mentioning they should have gone to the Czech Republic and called it "In Cesky Krumlov" ;)http://wikitravel.org/en/Cesky_Krumlov

    Hmm I guess it doesn't really have the quite same ring, does it?

    Heh, this is playing every night at this cinema in Bruges I went to.

    Seems to be quite divisive amongst the locals on whether they liked it or not.

    I don't understand I watched about 30 mins of this film and turned it off, it was one of the dullest things I have ever seen.
    Astoria 20/04/06, Leeds 25/08/06, Prague 22/09/06, Wembley 18/06/07,
    Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.

    Ain't gonna be any middle anymore.

    First time I've heard it described as dull, but anyway that's too bad for you..

    I just didn't get it, there didn't seem to be anything happening.

    In some films you have to watch the whole film to see what happens.
    Anyways, thats kind of the point of it, that they talk about how boring it is, and then nothing happens for a while, and then it all kicks off.

    It is such a brilliant film. I was really surprised. Love the scene with the racist midget drug binge!!

    whats not to like? :D
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
