Midlands? Really?


Why call a film 'Once Upon A Time in the Midlands' and then have NO major characters from that area? Welsh, Scottish, Liverpudlian, London... All these accents, no Midlanders.

Why did they bother setting it there, why not set it somewhere else and give the film a different title?

artistic license, jackass.

All of Shane Meadows films are set in the Midlands.

...Which makes the title even more meaningless.

Perhaps you should look up what 'artistic licence' means. Dumbass.

The title is "Once upon a time IN the Midlands" not "Once upon a time in the Midlands with a bunch of people from the Midlands" dumbass.

If I had asked: 'why is this film called: "Once upon a time in the Midlands with a bunch of people from the Midlands"', then you might have had a point Hunter, and not made yourself look so stupid.

But I didn't. Learn to read. What I said was: why call the film 'Once upon a time in the Midlands', and then not have the location or Midlanders having any significance in the film>

I'm not the only person pointing it out. From another thread here:
"And whats with a Londoner a Welshman a Scouser and a Scotsman all doing in the Midlands.....Where were the Midlanders?"

Why are you reposting crap you already posted?

Just because a film has the name of a place in it, doesn't mean the people have to be from there.

Now shut up you boring old fart.

Have you been checking back here regularly for a whole month to see if I'd seen your 'zinger', or is it coincidence that barely an hour after I reply, you post again?

reply

Hahaha you truly are an idiot, you just proved that clearly.

IMDB sends me immediate email updates of posts in reply to mine. So when a jackass like you tries to be funny, it completely blows up in their face.

reply

The fact that you set that up, and then scurried back here as soon as you saw I'd replied, does not let you off the hook.

I just clicked on a few of your past posts at random. Every single one you're calling someone a moron or a jackass. Is this all you have going in your life? Proving to strangers what a vulgarian you are? Seriously, find yourself a girlfriend or deal with that inferiority complex.
