Thank you

I actually did a quick google to see if I could find the style of hat I was imaging. Something between a fedora and cowboy… A Newsies cap I suppose would also work.

I plan on it, but don’t want to waste time setting up a new account without some first hand recommendations. A friend of mine is opening an account so I’ll wait for that review.

The headline implies that the mother would birth the child, then mom and dad would shake hands, while the baby towled off, threw on a diaper and a cap, and marched out of the room.

Yeah you are wrong. And your long lecture seems to miss the point.

Of course shit was aweful then. The woman took care of herself, because the cops, and society in general didn’t give a fuck then and barely do now.

I wasn’t even pointing fingers at those cops back then, I was pointing out the absurdity of the current detective/investigator/whatever he is when he so flippantly dismissed the whole ordeal as…

“I think she just was removed and, you know, moved on from things and kind of did her own thing and led her life … She sounded happy. Confident in her decision, no regrets,” Hanson added.”

How fairytale.

NHK coverage is top notch, it’s how I got into sumo and how I watch it now. It’s on YouTube and their website for free.

Woman: fears for her life and the police do nothing so she disappears for 60 years Cops: “Women can be so flighty!”

What is this Presidential Library? I’ve never heard of it.

I’m thinking of moving my business banking to Meridian, any advice?

Costco greens are sold pretty damn fresh and we buy 2 3 packs of lettuce that last easily 2 weeks on dinners and the lettuce isn’t even sad by the end.

Maybe start a little growop for your friend? We grow catnip crops for our cats. We bring our one pot a s they mow it down in hours, then we nurse it back to health.

“The view from halfway down.”

Yeah I’d have to say I’m in the “we need to keep the categories” camp but I admit I don’t know how we would properly acknowledge bi or non-gendered or anyone between or betwixt.

And we should have a way because there is no reason someone like Bella (love them btw) won’t give an award winning performance as a bi-sexual or something and then wtf do we do.

I don’t know the answer.

Money and resources.

They could film it in the states, but perhaps all the studios are booked up right now (this is a problem even in Vancouver and Toronto). A lot of filming decisions are based on what infrastructure is available to the producers, and these things take time to develop into a movie making industry.

So where else would have:

Easy access to shooting locations that could pass as American

A large pool of workers with skills and experience in producing film/tv

Who speak English

Close enough to LA or wherever the main studio brass is located

With easy travel and communication channels

Palatable to talent (safe, familiar enough)

A used goods market that matches the set dressing and wardrobe requirements, as well as prop warehouses and wardrobe rental houses full of stock.

A pool of actors and background artists that match “American”

I’m just listing off the top of my head right now, but the real question is “why not?”

Sure, making a 1960’s US historical drama set in the states could be done ANYWHERE, but it sure would be easier 60km from the border on the same continent than in Seoul, where the dollar does 39% more damage.

There are tons of tax credits as well, not just in Canadian cities, but states like Georgia and all the other’s trying to encourage productions to come boost their economies. The amount of jobs and goods needed for a production is insane, and many places want those decent, well paid jobs and supporting jobs.

Which one? I have 15, 20, 25, and sometimes 30 in my pouch. I can almost tell them apart by eye these days…

Torx are lovely, but nothing beats a Robbie 90% of the time.

Never apologize.

The Barbie cinematic universe is good also.

Don’t dead open inside.

As a film technician in Canada, I sadly can’t be so strict. Yeah I swapped deodorant, Ceasar dressing, energy drinks, cancelled my Prime and Uber, but I got to make a living.

Support CBC, Gem is a great service.

Is the “we” in this Canada or Mexico or something?

I’m not following. If Trump’s incoherent ramblings are to be generously interpreted, he wants all production to move back to the states. Currently many countries, and states, have huge tax incentives and other government handouts to encourage filming on their ground. If they all go back to that states, the American Companies lose that free foreign money, and depending on how it all shakes out, states will still be paying out tax incentives. At least for awhile as the industry finds a new home.

That’s all extremely hypothetical to try and understand Trump.

Canadian working in film over here. All our bosses fly in from the states, the company is American (usually with a temporary Canadian corporation underneath that will dissolve after the project) and half the actors and art talent are from the states.

And to address the propaganda angle, we are usually telling American stories anyways. Right now I’m working on a show about Muhammad Ali… All the set dressing is American…

But I did sneak some Roberson screws into a set. So hopefully the word gets out to the American people. You don’t have to live under the tyrant Phillips, we have a better way.
