Does anybody else get bothered when a movie is set in a certain place...

Yes like when they filmed ' On the Beach ' a film about the end of the world and set it in Melbourne. How dare they !

My favorite along those lines was an old movie, circa 1950, about the Civil War in Kansas. It was shot in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, for some reason!

Yeah, Kansas is full of steep wooded slopes, pine woods, mountain peaks, and the characteristic pale gray bornhard boulders you see in the Sierras, right?

I hear ya about Texas. Movies getting it wrong even becomes "gospel" to people in other countries. I told a UK friend a story about one of my Texas experiences, then someone who came into the room late asked, and my friend retold what I'd said and added "in the desert" -- as her own embellishment. Even though my story took place in lush, hilly central TX hundreds of miles from the desert!

Drives me nuts.

Movies also make London, England, look nothing like it really is too, and people in other countries take it as fact.

Friday the 13th part 8, they try to pass off some Canadian city like Vancouver as NY. Pretty funny.

Generally not unless there’s some politically/socioeconomically damaging/exploitive reason why. A film is a construction, and verisimilitude and realism are way at the bottom of my priorities. And I’m usually too dumb to notice.

I just remembered that The Revenant is set in North Dakota but is shown as very mountainous. The real North Dakota is so flat you could iron your clothes on it.

Same thing with Logan, which shows North Dakota as mountainous.

Yea... it bothered me a little when the movie said it was in The Netherlands while it's obviously Holland.

30 Days of Night is based in Barrow Alaska which looks nothing like the quaint little town in the movie. It's a major hub. Also it is located nowhere near the pipeline. Strangely enough though it worked for the purposes of the film.
