I think Cars 2 may have had some scenes in the UK, but I’m not going to bother to find out for sure.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I was going to say the same thing (I haven't seen it, so can't say either), but I don't know if that quite counts as "set in".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found myself reacting adversely to (of all things) Merida's weaponry. I guess I felt like they had to make her cool enough for boys by making her do stereotypically masculine things. If she liked embroidery, she wouldn't carry a movie.
Kind of like how Snow White needed to swing a sword.
But then I just realise I'm looking for all this equity in the stories on the big screen, and there aren't enough stories to cover everything I want to see, even if there were audiences.
I mean, it's cool for girls to see that it's fine if they can do "boy" things better than boys. Maybe in the next movie they'll tell them it's fine if the want to do "girl" things. And in the movie after that, boys will get to do "girl" things as well. This is scheduled for shortly after hell freezing over.
Yes, I will never be happy. I totally get that.

Yeah. Baby steps, baby steps. I hope!

Because books.
Possible feature film version of Stephen King's It.
Naturally, one of the first comments is someone asking if the kids' group sex scene will be included this time.

Now I want to see James Bond embroidering.

A movie of It seems pointless, because they'll never be able to cast someone who will top Tim Curry as Pennywise. And if they CAN, I dont want to see that, because my brain will melt in terror.

I feel like I should read the book again -- I loved it until the last bit of the ending, and then I was so disappointed, I was furious.
Tim Curry was fantastic in the movie, though, and I do remember some of the scarier parts of the book.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I have clearly never finished the book, though I would have sworn that I had - unless I just blocked out the scene in question for its sheer appallingness.
Tim Curry was brilliant but one weak spot in the miniseries was the monster itself - it wasn't nearly as scary as the IT in your head. I don't know whether they can capture that scariness if they try to get it on film (or cgi).

I too was disappointed with giant-glowy-space-spider in the miniseries, but then how exactly does one portray evil from outside time?
