I'd have no issue with the English "Lionesses" national football team of it wasn't for the fucking media banging on about them like it's the second coming of Christ.
This is the reason "Anyone But England" trends across the rest of the UK.

Better than "your parcel is in the recycling bin sitting on the pavement awaiting collection"

I like the melted mannequin, nice touch.

@Arcana Ghosts of Mars was John Carpenter who did the good version of The Thing (which I'm convinced is just Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness).

I don't think Interstellar counts even though I felt drained by the mistake of watching it.

Event Horizon?
I'm sure there have been several, but maybe I'm just remembering Dr Who episodes.

When I read the description for Pathfinder Gnomes I instantly chose a picture of Gobbo for my dancing dervish bard!

Nothing specific comes to mind for Greenock, but there are places to visit up and down the coast, beaches, castle ruins, fishing villages, etc, but it's an industrial area that was left to rot when UK decided it was cheaper to do business overseas.
If you've got access to transport Vikingar festival in Largs may be worth a visit.

@Arcana Absolutely, but I'm facing teflon people who've made bad decisions, ignored expert advice, and won't be held accountable so just say 'keep going'.
I felt I had to take the stance "I need clarity about what will change before asking people to double their workload", but they expected me to just commit everyone to train and use a clunky unready system on top of current working process. I wanted to restrict piloting to a small handpicked group who know the requirements.
There was a throwaway comment made to my director at the end of the meeting about speaking to the other departments then reviewing who should be on the joint team to make sure the right people are involved. There are two ways of interpreting that...
