FIRST

first

movies!

damn u JCK!!!

If you read The Daily What at all then you'll sadly realize that every story on Geekologie was posted there first. Sigh. . . recycle much?

go get lost, nemo

:l

Broke Back Wyoming

Wayne's World takes place in Aurora, IL and Milwaukee, WI. Most certainly not Delaware.

FAIL.

Wayne's World wasn't Delaware. I know there was a Delaware joke in the movie, but still.

God damn fucking autofill, with my name.

I'm glad someone caught it, Wayne's World is a staple Illinois movie! A lot of people who ask if you're from Aurora mention Wayne's World. It also has shots of Cicero, too.

In Wyoming's defense (since i am from there) the fucking movie wasn't even shot there... it just mentions they are in wyoming when they were no where near it for filming...

North Dakota should have been Fargo, and Minnesota should have been Mallrats.

@ 6 lol very original, like i havn't heard that before

What, no link to a bigger picture on your own site, GW? I can't go to those other shitty sites at work, just your shitty site ;P. I still love you tho.

nebraska. go figure.

Most of Fargo took place in Minnesota so it makes sense there. And Mallrats is a wankin movie for wankers.

Hey you goddamn losers, I am out of here. See you on Monday.

PS - I'm having sex with all of your moms, at the same time.

@Wiki
You're right about Fargo. As for Mallrats, Well then I'm a wankie wanker wank. Commenter's such as yourself makes the internet roll it's eyes.

Glad everyone thinks of Jesus Camp when thinking about my home. ITS NOT ALL LIKE THAT I SWEAR

PA got ripped off. Ground Hog Day? Twelve Monkeys, dammit! ...or any shit movie M. Knight Shamamalan ever did.

Part of Brokeback Mountain was in Wyoming... in Grand Teton Nat'l Park.

But yeah, when they're in the mountains it's not nearly so green and mossy here as in the movie. YAY Canada!

(yes, I'm from Wyoming)

thats really terrible.

The Shawshank Redemption was filmed in Ohio.

@5 The Daily What is practically commentary free feed burner with 60 posts a day- I think you missed the point of geekologie

Clerks, hell yeah :P

don't listen to him GW keep up thegood work

Mallrats was filmed in Eden Prairie, MN but it's still supposed to be in Jersey... which is why it is part of the "Jersey Trilogy."

I had never heard of 'Deliverance' so I thought I'd look that up seeing as how I live in GA.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.

well the state in the north east wins, whatever name you crazy americans gave it

DC Got no love.

Alabama should have been Forest Gump imo.

All of First Blood was filmed in British Columbia Canada

Where is "Back to the future"???

MN also had "Juno". Oh, and "Jingle all the Way". lol

This graph is just so full of failure.
First Blood wasn't even fimed in the states...

waynes world def didnt take place in delaware...they shoulda put Fight Club or Empire Records.

Hi ... I'm in Delaware ...

Do you not get the joke the map is positing? NO MOVIES WERE SET IN DELAWARE BECAUSE DELAWARE SUCKS!

Also, Mallrats is awesome. Suck it.

Thank you.

It's good to know that the guy that made the map had the good sense to not label Washington as "Twilight"

@22 - how about Witness, or better yet, Rocky (I or II)

What about the Star Wars Trilogy?

Wayne's World in Delaware!? What the hell? Both Wayne's World movies were almost exclusively about Aurora, IL. Fucking fascists.

Wow... somebody else has actually heard of Gummo.

did delaware get wayne's world out of sympathy?

cause thats hits in illinois.

why don't I know any of those movies?

first blood wasnt in washigton state either. filmed in canada, and supposedly took place in oregon. this map is all full of troll fail

And just under half of them were probably filmed in Canada..

Theres Something About Mary for RI?

I thought that took place in FL?

98% of "Fargo" took place in Minnesota, so it's an acceptable choice. "Grumpy Old Men" would have been good too.

You can try oh, will make you satisfied.

This map sucks because:

a) Whoever made it seems to have been unable to get "takes place in" and "was filmed in" straight.

b) White text on light blue.

c) White text on bright yellow? Fuck off.

Also, have no other movies actually been set in Delaware?

@55, it's even dumber than that. From the source page:

"The United States Of Movies - Redditor Subtonix has made an awesome map of what movie he thinks each US state best represents. There are a select few that will keep me far far away! "

So this has absolutely nothing to do with where each movie was filmed or where it took place.

This map also sucks because it didn't list "Titanic" in the Atlantic and "The Little Mermaid" in the Pacific.

I'd love to have a threesome with Christine O'Donnell and Sarah Palin, I'd love to watch these two horny sex fiends fight over my cock and lick my jizz off each others faces.

True story: my old high school were the villain team in "Remember the Titans." My junior-year English teacher was this 350-lb white guy who taught our class with a Moby Dick hand puppet. He was on the football team the year that story took place, and the guy in the film with his jersey number is played by this tall, skinny black guy. He loved to tell the story of how he transformed into a fat white dude after graduating from high school.

They REALLY did their homework on that one.

Neither Fight Club (Cali.) nor Empire Records (North Carolina) was shot in Delaware. Nothing happens in Delaware because it is New Jersey's Taint!

are there really so few movies out there that we need to use "jesus camp" twice? how bout "the assassination of jesse james..." for missouri?

I'm originally from Ohio- Gummo, while first being just a horribly useless film, also has nothing in common with Xenia, OH, it's more like mississippi or something.

I saw this a long time ago on reddit. The idea as it was presented on reddit wasn't "states according to movies that took place inside," but rather "states by what movie I think best represents them." It works much better that way...

"Rocket Boys" which they put in for West Virginia is actually called "October Sky" which is based on the book, Rocket Boys. Who made this thing? Between that and the Wayne's World discrepancy, I'm not sure I believe half of the other stuff on there! Clever idea, bad execution! I agree with everything @Jon Cake said.

The movie "What About Bob" some of the movie was shot in Virginia. In Moneta Virginia where I grew up. Near Smith Mountain Lake.

First Blood was not shot in Washington state. It was filmed in Hope, B.C.

Deliverance was suppose to take place in West Virgina! Not GA!

Oooops. Nevermind.

Fight Club wasn't shot in Delaware, but it most certainly took place in Delaware. They talk about 3 Cities in Delaware and Delaware is pretty much the credit card capitol of the United States.
