Sure, I’ve seen it in more than one AirBNB. I cannot say whether they did that intentionally to make a communal house more convenient or whether it was that way before they started renting it out.
You youngsters got it so easy. The house I grew up in has (more or less) 7 bedrooms and one bathroom. And no shower. Even more, when it was built it had no indoor bathroom at all. (Yes, the outhouse came with the place, and got used in winter when the pipes froze.)
It is true that:
So, the bathroom wasn’t the most awkward part of that living situation…?
(Sorry, couldn’t resist)
You mean an “aside” where the actor breaks the fourth wall and speaks to the audience? Because what I was talking about was something like two police detectives walking three feet away from a suspect to talk about things you wouldn’t want a suspect to know when they could easily walk outside or close a freaking door. The only thing this audience member is learning is that these are imcompetent detectives.
One of grandparents’ farmhouses had no indoor plumbing at all except a cold water tap. Outhouse for a toilet, galvanized tub plus hot water off the wood (later propane) stove for baths. They did add a bathroom later but by then I wasn’t usually staying there when I visited the region. The kids can’t wrap their heads around this.
Asides can be directed to the audience directly, but not always. It’s when there is private dialog the audience can hear but not the other characters on stage. An example is in Romeo & Juliet when Sampson asks Gregory about the legal ramifications of biting his thumb at some Montegues.
That scene always cracks me up.
I see what you’re saying (and I already knew all this), but I just see it done so awkwardly and stupidly on a lot of TV shows, and it unreasonably annoys me. Maybe this rant should be in a different thread!
Heist crew known for matching costumes?
Aren’t the Beagle Boys dressed in some sort of archaic prison uniform, like maybe something from Sing Sing circa 1910?
I’ve never understood why they have dog-like faces.
On Batman, each supervillian’s crew had its own outfits. They must have spent a lot just to keep their guys in uniform.
Imagine the scene in the holding cell when Catwoman’s henchmen were arrested and mixed in with the hard cons
Because they are dogs; that is to say, all the inhabitants of Duckville are animals of one kind or another, with the generic default type being the very mildly doggish style of bulbous nose/snout and sometimes floppy ears.
Well, they were supervillians. They could not only afford matching uniforms for their henchmen, but they could also afford a secret lair.
What they couldn’t afford to do, apparently, was to hire a contractor to level out the floors and put the walls in plumb.
Beagles, explicitly.
I believe they may be considered “dawgs” like Goofy. This is to distinguish anthropomorphic dog-like people from “dogs” like Pluto.
It was the acid, man!
Did Mickey Mouse live in Duckville too? Police Chief O’Hara in his comics was another anthropomorphic dog with Spaniel-type ears.
I swear, I read those comics for years without noticing how weird the characters looked. It wasn’t until I was in fifth or sixth grade that it finally hit me.
A.k.a. dogfaces.
