I know, I think everyone in Bruges has seen that movie.
Great fun, and Farell even walked around in town during the shooting without bodyguards or entourage or security whatever, a friend of mine has a photo with him, having a beer in the pub
His character does say some very hard things about the city in the movie, but that cracked me up even more. It's all true in a sense, but it's also what makes the place so great
"It's a shithole!" is the number one expression here btw thanks to the film
Although I absolutely LOVE this city. Might be mostly an openair museum, but it's also very beautiful and the people, restaurants and certain events are top notch, but you have to know your way around it. But it's a town that takes a while getting to know the good spots etc.
Only thing that lacks is more nightlife, but there are some very good yet small events now and then: dubstep and drum&bass are pretty well represented. And the city is lately doing their best to change policy towards a more "nightlife-friendly" attitude, and doing a good job too with a number of new halls having opened or coming soon. They have f.e. subsidised the sound isolation for a private owned venue a while ago. They invest lots of money in converting small venues or bars into locations where local promotors can host a party for reasonable prices and with perfect accomodation, anyway, it's really changing a lot in the last few years.
Anyway, way off topic
