    IN BRUGES was released 17 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great black comedies of the century and the film that kick started the McDonagh/Farrell/Gleeson triumvirate, the making of story is as beautiful as the city it’s set in… 1/34

    one of the films that comes closest to pulp fiction wrt overall vibes is In Bruges. a bunch of morally dubious characters in silly situations having some excellently written dialogue for an hour or two, until some of them die. i don't think it's underrated, but lots of people haven't heard of it

    I’ve been a stan for Colin Ferrell since his sex tape leaked. But also, since his incredible performance in the movie “In Bruges.”

    Why couldn’t they let Colin Farrell be hot as The Penguin? Such a shame. To this day, I think he has the best celebrity sex tape. That man was putting in the WORK. He’s also a very talented actor. Great in the movie “In Bruges” especially. But really, that sex tape? Made me the man I am today.

    I think I’ve raised my film cred with my son because I’ve shown him The Exorcist, Midsommar, Midnight Run, In Bruges, Risky Business, Rear Window, Tootsie and Rosemary’s Baby. Now I have to use that goodwill to show him Singing In The Rain and any movie made pre-1950.

    Rewatched In Bruges for the first time since in a bit. Some of McDonagh's dialogue has aged atrociously but damn, what a great movie. Farrell and Gleeson are dynamite together, Burwell's score is gorgeous and Ralph Fiennes is just hitting 3 pointers all day from half court

    I caught a movie before #LetterboxdFriday which usually doesn't happen! A strong #LastFourWatched, so I can't complain. In Bruges is bleak comedy done right, Shock = climbing the corporate ladder sucks, Scary Movie 2 is dated yet still funny to me, but the newest entry was a bit of a letdown.

    In other news. I think the movie IN BRUGES has done so much for the tourism OF BRUGES, that Colin Farrell and Brenden Gleeson should probably be on payroll. If you haven't seen the movie, do. And then once you have, you'll probably, 90% chance, put Bruges on your bucket list. It's ridiculous.

    I've rewatched The Banshees of Inisherin just now and this might be the perfect movie?? Martin McDonagh might be our best screenwriter and director ever. "Sipho, what about 'In Bruges'"? Yes. Second best, because this one one is number one.

    #MovieMadness Day 27: movie with a fave actor In Bruges, with Brendan Gleeson. I love Gleeson because 1) he's a solid working actor, 2) he's got a face that's been lived in, 3) he's always comfortable in whatever role he's playing, & 4) he always plays a character who's smarter than he looks.

    I’ve been meaning to rewatch In Bruges (2008) since I saw Banshees of Inisherin and fell madly in love with it. In Bruges holds up fine, it’s a delightful romp. Not half the film that Banshees is, but it’s lovely to see the boys again.

    McDonagh said despite the beauty of Bruges, he found himself slightly bored. And so formed an idea for a movie: a character who had to go to Bruges but found it dull rather than stunning. The lead turned into two hitmen and McDonagh fleshed out a screenplay, calling it In Bruges. 4/34

    ‘In Bruges’ walks that very thin line between darkness and humour, it’s a tricky balance but this film manages to pull it off. An unusual achievement by all involved.
