This is something that really grinds my gears with the movie "Baby Driver". Edgar Wright went to incredible trouble to set the film in Atlanta. It features Atlanta landmarks, culture, food, and dialect. It feels quintessentially Atlantan. Despite that effort, they're constantly referring to highways and interstates with the definite article. "The 75", "the 85", "The Buford Highway". We don't do that here, and it sounds a bit like nails on a chalkboard. It's hard to fault the film for this trivial issue, but it is amusing. |

What bothered me more was how one chase scene (I can’t remember which one) went in like the wrong direction. I love the film, but seeing them get so many details about Atlanta almost right and then get location/direction stuff wrong was pretty funny for someone born and raised in Atlanta. I imagine it’s how LA people must feel all the time!
