Still lurking on the periphery here. I can't really check up on my friends-list during the day anymore, so I haven't been as present as I'd like. Mainly working, bicycling, trying to get Christmas shopping done, and hoping to get that Yuletide story done before the deadline! But also... entertainment.

We saw Three Billboards Outside Ebbing

I want to see Three Billboards because they filmed it here in WNC. It was a minor big deal, partly because no one knew at first what those billboards were doing along the road to Swannanowhere. I wonder how many landmarks I'd recognize.

I don't know what Missouri looks like at all, but I did think the setting was prettier and hillier than I would have expected. That fits North Carolina much better. ;)

One of the fun parts about recognizing things in movies is when building exteriors are used for completely different things, such as, "That's not a police station! That's the library!" Or creative geography: "That's not where that road goes!"

I clicked through the images on IMDB to see if I recognized anywhere and I do. This is along Highway 70.

Apparently I'm best at recognizing roads in movies. I was watching Maximum Overdrive once and I knew exactly where they were along I-40 in Eastern NC. I also recognized a few roads in Blue Velvet which was set in Lumberton NC (which I've never visited) and filmed in WIlmington (which I've passed through.)
