Have had great fun with Training Day and Die Hard with Vengeance of late. Is that a bit like IMDG but focusing mainly on Dumfries and Galloway? But yes, missus and I are always stopping films to look stuff up on IMDB, be it locations, songs or simply "where have I seen that actor before?". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The locations part of IMDB i was never aware of, i always knew it wouldn't be that hard to find locations if you were to google them but never took the time to do it until now. That will be my weekend sorted then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I don't even know what that is Shandon. I found out the Battle of Stirling scene is shot at the Curragh plains in Kildaire though. I could be well off the mark here but it looks like a similar set of trees: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite ironic how they're is now a large orange hedge where the Scots would be standing in the film. Reminds me of that Black Adder sketch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous I came to post about it and agree with your assessment. I saw it on Monday with my older two and they loved/were shocked by it. The acting was excellent - especially Will Poulter as the 'lead' police officer - who must be one of the least likeable characters I've seen in a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the sites in LA for Training Day were identified on Google maps such as Smileys House and Rodgers House. Bloody yanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Revenge of the Nerds Quintessential 80s frat house comedy. Bad taste humour and gratuitous nudity galore... 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It I enjoyed it quite a lot but not for any of the reasons I was expecting. An excellent coming-of-age adventure film. A fair to middling horror film. Kid actors are fantastic. Bill Skarsgard is pretty good too, although I found his voice a wee bit too Scooby Doo. Great fun. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It Poor fair for me. 27 years on, the original mini-series holds up better. Bill Skarsgaard wasn't able to find the cheesy-scary balance and was a bit shit tbh. Good atmosphere about it, but other than that, doesn't deserve the hype it's received so far. 4/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought Pennywise was one of its only redeeming features. It failed to hold tension, the characters weren't particularly likable (bar wee Georgie) and it just didn't have any scary moments. There was far more 'comedy' than horror in it. I really wasn't impressed.6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm dingying the football today, as it might be the only chance I get to see It until DVD. Not even sorry - I loved that book when I was a wean. Will be utterly crushed if I miss the giants of Alloa take on the titans of Forfar for something that seems normal-sized by comparison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
