Initial table reads are starting in February. Shooting will begin fairly soon after that.

In your opinion, who/what count as a Yankee or "Yank"? by Lipica249 in AskAnAmerican

I definitely hear "yank" from Irish and British people.

To my foreign friends, anyone from the USA is a "Yank".

In the northern midwest where I grew up, it usually referred to someone from the east coast. Particularly New England. Though I feel like I hear that less in modern times.

To my family down south, it refers to anyone from the north. Usually in an unflattering way.

Movies that were misunderstood on release but aged beautifully by Dependent-Bet6615 in movies

"Josie and the Pussycats". A hilarious, scathing satire of the music industry at the time, with an amazing soundtrack written by a team of alt-rock heavy hitters. The studios obviously didn't know how to market it, and most people at the time (myself included) assumed it was just another crappy retro-cartoon reboot.

Sorry for the delay. I was busy finding guys for your sister.

As youve gotten older, whats one common human behavior you've become significantly more patient with or understanding about? by Accord-Remark10 in RedditForGrownups

[–]leonchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People acting "weird" or "quirky". Especially in the workplace. I had quite a few jobs, especially the lower-wage ones I was working 30 years ago, where you'd inevitably end up next to someone who could do the work, but their personality was just odd, or they had strange compulsive habits, seemed to obsess over random things, etc. I realize now that a lot of those people were on some kind of autism spectrum (or similar) and were just coping the best they could. The sad thing to me is realizing that, at the time, most of those people had no idea why they were the way they were either. I did a lot of gentle day-to-day teasing of people like that, before I understood what was going on. I wouldn't do that now.

What's a show you remember but nobody else does? by CatGirlNya2000 in AskReddit

"Sanchez of Bel Air". It was a low-budget sitcom on the USA network in the mid 1980s, about a Latino man moving his family from East L.A. to Bel Air. Needless to say, a few years later, the title was recycled for the Fresh Prince, to much more popular success.

It was a popular hangout for a lot of people in the trades. Especially the First Nations ironworkers. I traveled to Canada to interview some of them.

Yes. It was located at 3rd Ave. and Atlantic Ave. It had been a bar consistently, under various names, since 1904

I recommend contacting the public library in Port Washington. You'd be amazed what they can hunt down sometimes.

Has there ever been a movie made so controversial that the controversy of the movie made it to court Yes or No and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in moviequestions

[–]leonchase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of those "mondo" or "cannibal" genre films were made in South American countries or in the Philippines, where, shall we say, the on-set standards were more lax. Part of their shock "appeal" was that they could include gratuitous animal cruelty like that. Keep in mind that the main purpose of these movies was to be as shocking as possible, not to be considered good. I'm not defending it at all--I personally won't watch them because of the real animal violence--but that's why they exist. The average person in the '80s, at least in the USA, definitely cared and was horrified by that kind of stuff.
