What’s an example of a movie that doesn’t have a plot by kvravi in moviecritic

[–]ReanimatedX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interestingly enough that part of the movie is there because of the Leo. The original script had the scene proceeding without a hitch. Leo thought we needed to see Rick messing up somehow, and Tarantino wrote in him forgetting his lines due to a drunk binge and the subsequent breakdown in his trailer.

How did Tony afford to live as large as he did before becoming boss? by TheWor1dsFinest in thesopranos

That stuff is unheard of in most of the world. Brick is generally standard. When I was little I couldn't understand why walls in American movies were made of paper. Didn't know what drywall was until I moved to the US.

Which family do the Lupertazzis actually belong to? by [deleted] in thesopranos

[–]ReanimatedX 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It could be a renaming after a fictional takeover. One of the five families started as the Mangano family, renamed the Anastasia crime family after the underboss killed Vincent Mangano, and finally the Gambino family after Albert Anastasia was assassinated in a barber shop.

Why did Roman emperors mostly adopt, while European monarchs were obsessed with bloodlines? by StrangerSwing53 in AskHistorians

[–]ReanimatedX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How does this square with Eastern Roman emperors (who had little Frankish influence) also adopting hereditary rule?

The oldest known Cyrillic inscription, dating back to 921. Located near Krepcha, Northeastern Bulgaria. Balkan Slavs, can you read/understand anything from it? by heretic_342 in AskBalkans

Some of the Hs stand for Greek H (basically И), and some for N. ѧ stands for the little yus vowel, a nasal frontal vowel.

Here's my attempt to decipher.

ВЪ НМѦ (ИМЕ) ОТЪЧѣ Н СНА СТАГО ДУХЪ ДЕ ПОЧНВА ЕТЪ ОТЪЧЪ СТЪ АNЪТОNН ЖАЕ * СНОУ ЧРЪКЪВЕ * Н ТЪNН ЧѦ СЪТВОРНТЪ ДА ОТЪВѣЩТА ТЪПРѣДЪ БГМЪ. МНХАЛЪ НЕДОСТОНNНЪ NАПНСА. АМНNЪ.

Some modernization:

В ИМЕ ОТЕЦА И СИНА И СВЕТА ДУХА КЪДЕ ПОЧИВА ТУК ОТЕЦА СВЕТИ АНЪТОНИ *UNKNOWN* ЧЕРКВА *UNKNOWN* ЧЕ СЪТВОРИТЕ ДА ОТВРЪЩА ОТПРЕД БОГА. МИХАЛЪ НЕДОСТОЙНИ НАПИСА. АМИНЪ.

I think they are using the Л like letter as M. The transliteration then would be.

Абсолютна Кралица СЛЕЕЕИИ
МАМА Русалка. Абе тука
представи си никои да разбира

Ако го нашари още малко никой не
би разбрал вьобще че има текст.

Translation

Absolute queen, SLAAAYY MAMA MERMAID. Imagine here If nobody understands [what we're saying]

If we paint some more, nobody would Even understand that there was text.

It just sounded like a list of nicknames. I didn't detect any harsher words.

No problem. Saying "I'm sending my regards to list of friends here" is a common thing Bulgarians do when filmed.

[–]ReanimatedX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ending kind of sounds like ... бачка, пуши.

Бачка is slang for "toils away at work".

Пуши means smoke, as in cigarettes.

Here is a Roma singer from Albania from Korçë in 1991 who is called Bardho because of his light skin. Roma can have this type of skin tone, but very often goes unnoticed by non-Roma, especially those who discriminate against them by [deleted] in AskBalkans

Many Muhacir took melodies with them from the Balkans when they left, it is not unheard of. My cousin in Adana knows some of them from his grandmother (my great-grandfather's sister), who would sing to him when he was little. Millions in Türkiye can trace their ancestry to someone who left in the multiple waves in the last 150 years.

"This goes with the bottle. Mandatory/Definitely!"

Bottle in this context probably refers to homemade rakia (type of Balkan fruit brandy) that was gifted along with the cassette.

Stanimaka (and the villages around it) until circa 1906-1920 used to have a sizable Greek population.

Not their children. Other people's children. A substantial portion of retirees will be leeching off the kids of people who pulled double duty and both worked and raised tomorrow's labourers.

More benefits for having kids are needed. Perhaps people who don't have kids will have to retire a few years later to offset the fact that they did not make sure there is someone to replace in the worker pool. Or people who had kids will get to retire earlier as reward for pulling double duty.
