2024.05.18 21:15 SanderSo47 Directors at the Box Office: Clint Eastwood (Part 1)
 | https://preview.redd.it/m07tmkxgi81d1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a069dd209bca819edad29814e0bbd2b76eaa50db submitted by SanderSo47 to boxoffice [link] [comments] As Reddit doesn't allow posts to exceed 40,000 characters, Eastwood's edition had to be split into two parts because his whole career cannot be ignored. The second part will be posted tomorrow.Here's a new edition of "Directors at the Box Office", which seeks to explore the directors' trajectory at the box office and analyze their hits and bombs. I already talked about a few, and as I promised, it's Clint Eastwood's turn.Eastwood was a troublemaker at school, and he had a bunch of odd jobs such as lifeguard, paper carrier, grocery clerk, forest firefighter, and golf caddy. In 1951, he was drafted into the United States Army during the Korean War and was discharged two years later. Through this, he got into contact with a Hollywood representative, who got him into acting classes and started his acting career. He got his start by starring in the hit show Rawhide, but he said he was exhausted by the experience. This caught the attention of some film producers and he decided to act in films directed by the then-unknown Sergio Leone. His career was on the rise, and then he got the chance to make his directorial debut. From a box office perspective, how reliable was he to deliver a box office hit? That's the point of this post. To analyze his career. It should be noted that as he started his career in the 1970s, some of the domestic grosses here will be adjusted by inflation. The table with his highest grossing films, however, will be left in its unadjusted form, as the worldwide grosses are more difficult to adjust.Play Misty for Me (1971)"The scream you hear may be your own!"His directorial debut. It stars Eastwood, Jessica Walter and Donna Mills, and follows a radio disc jockey being stalked by an obsessed female fan. Before his colleague Irving Leonard died, he and Eastwood had discussed the idea of producing a film that was to give Eastwood the artistic control he desired, and his debut as a director. Eastwood said he was ready, "I stored away all the mistakes I made and saved up all the good things I learned, and now I know enough to control my own projects and get what I want out of actors." The film was a huge success for Eastwood, and it also received positive reviews. So far, his directorial career was off to a great start.
High Plains Drifter (1973)"They'd never forget the day he drifted into town."His second film. The film stars Eastwood, Verna Bloom and Mariana Hill, and follows a mysterious stranger who metes out justice in a corrupt frontier mining town. Eastwood reportedly liked the offbeat quality of the film's original nine-page proposal and approached Universal with the idea of directing it, which would make it his first directed Western. The screenplay was inspired by the real-life murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens in 1964, which eyewitnesses reportedly stood by and watched. Holes in the plot were filled in with black humor and allegory, influenced by Sergio Leone. It was well received, and the film even surpassed Play Misty for Me at the box office. Eastwood was just going up.
Breezy (1973)"Her name is Breezy."His third film. It stars William Holden and Kay Lenz, and follows the relationship between a middle-aged real estate agent and a young hitchhiker. This was his first directed film without starring on it. And his lack of presence certainly hurt the film; it received mixed reviews and flopped at the box office.
The Eiger Sanction (1975)"His lifeline, held by the assassin he hunted."His fourth film. Based on the novel by Trevanian, the film stars Eastwood, George Kennedy, Vonetta McGee, and Jack Cassidy. It follows Jonathan Hemlock, an art history professor, mountain climber, and former assassin once employed by a secret government agency, who is blackmailed into returning to his deadly profession for one last mission. The film received mixed reactions for its writing, and it wasn't a box office success either.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)"An army of one."His fifth film. Based on the novel Gone to Texas by Forrest Carter, it stars Eastwood, Chief Dan George, Sondra Locke, Bill McKinney and John Vernon. The film tells the story of Josey Wales, a Missouri farmer whose family is murdered by Union militia during the Civil War. Driven to revenge, Wales joins a Confederate guerrilla band and makes a name for himself as a feared gunfighter. After the war, all the fighters in Wales' group except for him surrender to Union soldiers, but the Confederates end up being massacred. Wales becomes an outlaw and is pursued by bounty hunters and Union soldiers as he tries to make a new life for himself. Eastwood was fascinated by the novel and he bought the film rights, hoping to star on the film. He got Philip Kaufman involved as screenwriter and possible director, but left after disagreeing with Eastwood in the material adapted to the screen. Kaufman insisted on filming with a meticulous attention to detail, which caused disagreements with Eastwood, not to mention the attraction the two shared towards Locke and apparent jealousy on Kaufman's part in regard to their emerging relationship. This caused Eastwood to take over as the director. Kaufman's firing angered the DGA, as he did most of the pre-production, and sanctioning a $60,000 fine. This resulted in the Director's Guild passing a new rule, known as "the Eastwood Rule", which prohibits an actor or producer from firing the director and then personally taking on the director's role. The film received critical acclaim, and in subsequent years, is ranked among Eastwood's greatest films. It was also a huge success at the box office, doubling his previous highest grossing film. It was also one of the few Western films to receive critical and commercial success in the 1970s at a time when the Western was thought to be dying as a major genre in Hollywood.
The Gauntlet (1977)"The man in the middle of..."His sixth film. It stars Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Pat Hingle, William Prince, Bill McKinney, and Mara Corday. It follows a down-and-out cop who falls in love with a prostitute, to whom he is assigned to escort from Las Vegas to Phoenix for her to testify against the mob. While it received mixed reviews, it became another box office success for Eastwood, becoming his now highest grossing film.
Bronco Billy (1980)"The most outrageous of 'em all."His seventh film. The film stars Eastwood and Sondra Locke, and focuses on the financially-struggling owner of a traditional Wild West show and his new assistant. It became another critical and commercial success for Eastwood, who referred to the film as one of his most affable shoots of his career.
Firefox (1982)"The most devastating killing machine ever built... his job... steal it!"His eighth film. Based on the novel by Craig Thomas, it stars Eastwood, Freddie Jones and David Huffman. The Soviets have developed a revolutionary new jet fighter, called "Firefox". Naturally, the British are worried that the jet will be used as a first-strike weapon, as rumors say that the jet is undetectable on radar. They send ex-Vietnam War pilot Mitchell Gant on a covert mission into the Soviet Union to steal the Firefox. The film received mixed reviews, but it earned almost $47 million, becoming Eastwood's highest grossing title as director.
Honkytonk Man (1982)"The boy is on his way to becoming a man. The man is on his way to becoming a legend."His ninth film. It's based on the novel by Clancy Carlile, and it stars Eastwood and his son Kyle. It follows Red Stovall, a country music singer and composer. With his nephew Whit by his side, he travels to Nashville to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in the backdrop of the Great Depression. While the film received acclaim, it earned just $4.4 million, becoming his second worst performer.
Sudden Impact (1983)"Dirty Harry is at it again."His tenth film. The fourth installment in the Dirty Harry series, directed, it stars Eastwood and Sondra Locke. The film tells the story of a gang rape victim who decides to seek revenge on her rapists 10 years after the attack by killing them one by one. Inspector Harry Callahan, famous for his unconventional and often brutal crime-fighting tactics, is tasked with tracking down the serial killer. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but it earned over $150 million worldwide, Eastwood's first film to pass that milestone. It's also very popular for including the iconic catchphrase, "Go ahead, make my day."
Pale Rider (1985)"...And Hell followed with him."His 11th film. It stars Eastwood, Michael Moriarty and Carrie Snodgress. A couple and their daughter, along with a few others, are driven out of Lahood, California, by goons working for a mining baron. However, a stranger enters their life to assist them in their fight. There was no stopping Eastwood: another critical and commercial success.
Heartbreak Ridge (1986)"The scars run deep."His 12th film. It stars Eastwood, Marsha Mason, Everett McGill, and Mario Van Peebles. The story centers on a U.S. Marine nearing retirement who gets a platoon of undisciplined Marines into shape and leads them during the American invasion of Grenada in 1983. The film was inspired by an account of American paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division using a pay telephone and a credit card to call in fire support during the invasion of Grenada, and fashioned a script of a Korean War veteran career Army non-commissioned officer passing on his values to a new generation of soldiers. Eastwood was interested in the script and asked his producer, Fritz Manes, to contact the US Army with a view of filming the movie at Fort Bragg. However, the Army read the script and refused to participate, due to Highway being portrayed as a hard drinker, divorced from his wife, and using unapproved motivational methods to his troops, an image the Army did not want. It received mixed reviews, with some deeming the film as "imperialist propaganda". But it was still another box office success.
Bird (1988)"There are no second acts in American lives."His 13th film. The film stars Forest Whitaker and Diane Venora. It is constructed as a montage of scenes from saxophonist Charlie Parker's life, from his childhood in Kansas City, through his early death at the age of 34. Eastwood, a lifelong fan of jazz, had been fascinated by Parker ever since seeing him perform live in Oakland in 1946. He approached Chan Parker, Bird's common-law wife on whose memoirs the script was based, for input, and she lent Eastwood and arranger Lennie Niehaus a collection of recordings from her private collection Before Eastwood was involved, Richard Pryor was originally cast as Parker. Despitive positive reviews, it performed poorly, earning just $2.2 million in North America.
White Hunter Black Heart (1990)"An adventure in obsession."His 14th film. Based on the novel by Peter Viertel, it stars Eastwood, Jeff Fahey, George Dzundza, Alun Armstrong and Marisa Berenson. It follows a famous movie director, John Wilson, who goes to Africa to make his next movie. He is an obstinate, contrary director who'd rather hunt elephants than take care of his crew or movie. He has become obsessed with one particular elephant and cares for nothing else. Despite positive reviews, it made just $2.3 million domestically, not even 10% of the budget.
The Rookie (1990)His 15th film. The film stars Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, Raul Julia, Sônia Braga, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Tom Skerritt. It follows a veteran police officer teamed up with a younger detective, whose intent is to take down a German crime lord in downtown Los Angeles, following months of investigation into an exotic car theft ring.It received negative reviews for its acting and story, and it became another flop for Eastwood. That's three bombs in a row. Ouch.
Unforgiven (1992)"Some legends will never be forgotten. Some wrongs can never be forgiven."His 16th film. It stars Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Richard Harris and Morgan Freeman. It follows William Munny, a widower with two young kids, who was once a very vicious gunfighter who gave up everything after marriage. Now, a man named Schofield Kid brings him an offer that he cannot refuse, forcing him to come out of retirement for one last job. David Webb Peoples wrote the script all the way back to 1976, and it was optioned by Francis Ford Coppola, but he lacked the funds needed to helm it. By Eastwood's own recollection, he was given the script in the "early 80s" although he did not immediately pursue it, because, according to him, "I thought I should do some other things first". Eastwood has long asserted that the film would be his last traditional Western, concerned that any future projects would simply rehash previous plotlines or imitate someone else's work. He dedicated the film to his close friends and mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel. Hackman initially refused to participate as his daughters were upset that he was starring in too many violent films, but he became fascinated by the script that he agreed. It opened with $15 million and it legged all the way to $100 million after playing for almost one year, closing with $159 million worldwide, his now highest grossing film. The film received Eastwood's best reviews of his career, with many considering the film as his magnum opus as director. It received 9 Oscar nominations, and won four: Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood, Best Supporting Actor for Hackman, and Best Film Editing. So Eastwood, on top of being a reliable box office draw, was now a 2-time Oscar winner.
A Perfect World (1993)His 17th film. Kevin Costner, Eastwood and Laura Dern, and follows an escaped convict who takes a young boy hostage and attempts to escape on the road with the child, while being pursued by a Texas Ranger.The film received critical acclaim, and has appeared as one of Eastwood's best films. The film disappointed in North America, but it earned up to $100 million overseas (Eastwood's first film to gross that much) and ended with $135 million worldwide.
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)"The human heart has a way of making itself large again even after it's been broken into a million pieces."His 18th film. Based on the novel by Robert James Waller, it stars Eastwood and Meryl Streep. The film is set in 1965, following a war bride, Francesca Johnson, who lives with her husband and two children on their Iowa farm. That year she meets National Geographic photojournalist, Robert Kincaid, who comes to Madison County, Iowa to photograph its historic covered bridges. With Francesca's family away for a short trip, the couple have an intense, four-day love affair. It received more critical acclaim, and made over $180 million worldwide, becoming his highest grossing film. For her performance, Streep was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.
Absolute Power (1997)His 19th film. Based on the novel by David Baldacci, it stars Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Laura Linney, Judy Davis, Scott Glenn, Dennis Haysbert, and Richard Jenkins.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)"Welcome to Savannah, Georgia. A Ccty of hot nights and cold blooded murder."His 20th film. Based on the book by John Berendt, it stars John Cusack and Kevin Spacey. It follows the story of antiques dealer Jim Williams, on trial for the killing of a male prostitute who was his lover. The multiple trials depicted in Berendt's book are combined into one trial for the film. It received mediocre reviews, and flopped at the box office.
True Crime (1999)His 21st film. Based on the novel by Andrew Klavan, it stars Eastwood, Isaiah Washington, Denis Leary, LisaGay Hamilton and James Woods. It follows a journalist covering the execution of a death row inmate, only to discover that the convict may actually be innocent.This was another project that received mediocre reviews and flopped at the box office.
Space Cowboys (2000)"Boys will be boys."His 22nd film. It stars Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, and James Garner as four aging former test pilots who are sent into space to repair an old Soviet satellite. It received very positive reviews, and earned over $128 million worldwide.
Blood Work (2002)"He's a heartbeat away from catching the killer."His 23rd film. Based on the novel by Michael Connelly, it stars Eastwood, Jeff Daniels, Wanda De Jesús, and Anjelica Huston. It follows a retired FBI agent who recently had a heart transplant but still takes up the job to nab a killer. It was another film with mediocre reviews and flop status.
Mystic River (2003)"We bury our sins, we wash them clean."His 24th film. Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, it stars Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, Laurence Fishburne, Marcia Gay Harden, and Laura Linney. It follows three childhood friends who are reunited 25 years later when one of them suffers a family tragedy. Michael Keaton was originally cast in the role of Det. Sean Devine, and did several script readings with the cast, as well as his own research into the practices of the Massachusetts Police Department. However, creative differences between Keaton and Eastwood led to Keaton leaving the production. He was replaced by Kevin Bacon. This was the first film in which Eastwood would be credited as composer. The film had a slow roll-out, but it was aided by strong word of mouth, closing with a wonderful $156 million worldwide. It also received acclaim, and was named as one of Eastwood's greatest films. Sean Penn received universal acclaim for his performance, with some naming it among the best acting of the century, particularly for one scene (if you watched it, you definitely know which scene). It received 6 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood. It won two: Best Actor for Penn and Best Supporting Actor for Robbins.

2024.05.18 15:52 volunterwife I 31f was asked to be a bridesmaid by my SIL 25f and I agreed thinking it would just mean buying a dress since the wedding is less than 2 months away but she wants an expensive bachelorette weekend that I can't afford. How do I get out of this without ruining my relationship with SIL?
As the title says my SIL#1 asked me to be a bridesmaid on the day we went wedding dress shopping. I was in the car with MIL and SIL#2 and I agreed. I assumed since the wedding is less than a few months away I'd just end up paying for a dress and since the SIL#1 said they'd be simple dresses I could afford it. We went dress shopping and the bridal gown was 3 grand and they kept saying how cheap it was and how they where hoping they could get the bridesmaids dress that cheap. SIL also said she was planning the bachelorette weekend and it would be "Low key" involving a weekend trip they where planing on a multiple winery tour and an adult obstacle/adventure course and an air BNB rental for the weekend. SIL#2 is the maid of honor and MIL offered to pay for her part of the weekend trip and for her dress. SIL#2 is also going to pick the dresses and she wants to do it online MIL told me since I don't have a credit card she'd order it for me with hers as long as I pay her upfront. My husband also told me he isn't contributing towards any of this financially because it's stupid and he's considering telling my SIL#1 to drop me from the bridal party. Our daughter is the flower girl and I've been told I'll be on the hook for her dress too. I already bought her a dress to wear to the wedding secondhand since I thought she wasn't asking my daughter to be a flower girl and I was told that SIL is considering something else since she wants the flower girls in matching dresses.
I already bought a bunch of antiques for wedding decor I was promised to be reimbursed by SIL#1 but she has yet to pay me back as well. I've already kissed that money goodbye as I considered it my contribution to the wedding. I also offered my services to sew table clothes and alter dresses as needed. I only work part time because I'm a SAHM and I can only work when my child is at school it's really limiting on what kind of employment I can get.
I don't want to not be a bridesmaid but whenever I ask what the budget is or I suggest more budget friendly options I get shot down. I suggested the bride pick a color for the bridesmaids dresses and then SIL#2 and I can shop for our own dresses (I didn't tell them I was planning on getting mine secondhand but they guessed it and where upset) and that was shot down. I don't want to order dresses online because even though it might be cheaper there is no guarantee it will fit right and they told me they don't want me altering it myself since I'm not a professional seamstress. I got told off for suggesting I hem the wedding dress to save money because it would be super easy given that the tulle just needs to be cut and the underdress can be hemmed easily.
I feel like the bride is already pissed at me for trying to suggest cheaper options and I feel if I drop out due to financial concerns she'll never forgive me since this is her big day. I don't know how to get out of this situation. If I scrimp and save up (Probably have to pick up tons of extra work on top of my already busy schedule) enough to pay for this my husband will upset at me for "wasting money" but if I drop out my MIL and both SILs will be mad at me. I feel like I've been dropped into a no win scenario and I'm really stessed. I don't know what to do I'm so lost and see no way out.

2024.05.18 10:00 Jazzlike_Guitar9406 My girlfriend is very disrespectful of other people's time
Hello, let me apologize like everyone does in the opening lines . I'm apologizing for my grammatical errors because I'll be doing this from my phone. so my girlfriend Christine (37) has a monstrous sized problem when it comes to managing time . I, James (36), have a difficult time biting my tongue when she does this . Ok so I feel like I am the ahe each and every time this occurs because I usually don't handle her disrespectful time management well. I'll explain. The Saturday before mother's Day, my mother came and picked me up then we drove an hour and fifteen minutes away to pick up my grandmother and bring her to her new house so we could all spend some time together while setting up her stuff in her new house. The house is a mile or so from my parents place. My grandmother is moving closer because my grandfather passed away unexpectedly last year from a heart attack. And let me just say It's been a huge task selling all the tools, equipment, antiques,etc they had . she no longer wishes to deal with all this stuff and no one in the family wants all of it so there are a lot of things that have to go.. so after a long day of working on grandmothers new house Christine has agreed to come over to my mother's for dinner and also pick me up. her and I will also drive my grandmother back to where she still lives. Christine had been unusually working that day, something she's had to do twice in the 4 years of us dating. But I had spoken to her as we were leaving the new place and heading to my mother's. She told me she was leaving and heading towards us. My mother started dinner as soon as we'd arrived to her house. Dinner was ready an hr later and my girlfriend had still not arrived. I'll note that we live 25 minutes away, but I expected this and told my mom we can start eating without her and that Christine expects this. My mom and grandmother would not do this until I'd spoken to my girlfriend. I couldn't reach her by phone. So we all start worrying after another hour! I was able to convince them into eating during this time. It's getting late and we have quite a drive to get my grandmother home. Now I didn't want my mother to have to make the trip because even though she's in remission with her cancer, I know she was tired and that drive alone all the way home would've been a nightmare. My mother wasn't complaining and said she'd went to get her mother and she has no problem taking her home. Finally I get a call from Christine and she says she's on her way. I ask her if she's finished working and she tells me she hasn't. This upset me because she originally told me she had 3 hrs of work that day and it had been nine hours since she supposedly started working! I explained to her that I wanted her to let my mother know we would take my grandmother home for her, that I would just drop her off at home so she could work and I would take my grandmother home. I wanted to do this because my grandmother has extremely high anxiety and doesn't like being away from her house too long. She'll start talking about how all the cats are probably starving because she hasn't fed them. " My grandmother feeds all the neighborhood cats twice a day! There are like eight of them haha!. So I'll just say I was in an accident not long ago and have been waiting on the insurance check to get another vehicle. I also had a Yamaha R6 Motorcycle but was hit by a car last June so we are stuck with just her vehicle atm. Christine explains that she is going to drive and I ask her about finishing work. She lets me know that she only has like ten minutes left to do and we will leave. That means my grandmother will just have to hang out for a few minutes no big deal. Well after an hour of sitting in the house and it getting late grandmother and I are pretty upset and Christine is completely ignoring the situation. I am having to tell her to focus on finishing work because every time we go and look at her she's coloring or on a shopping website instead of working!! I finally lose my sh!t and call my mom to tell her we're still at our house and haven't taken grandmother home. She says she'll come and that get Christine moving but not without an attitude. I ask her why she accepted my proposal to do this. She doesn't respond. We got grandmother home thirty minutes after midnight and didn't get home ourselves until 1:45am. I didn't bring up this ordeal because we're going to my mother's nextdoor neighbors for mother's day that next day. We were suppose to be at her house by 7 . Christine made the entire plan on her own. She wanted to cook at home and us take it to my mom and her neighbors. Let's just say it was 7pm and there was no food. She wasn't even ready to leave by the time she agreed to be at my mother's. The entire time leading up to all of this I am a broken record. Basically I started nicely letting her know she needed to get in the kitchen. Asking what I could do to help. Then I text my mother when I realize cooking isn't happening . My mom goes with the flow and plans on her and her neighbors cooking and for us to just get there on time. So then I get a little more aggressive when I let her know she needs to shower and get ready. Needless to say we arrived at 8pm. Neighbors are at the table waiting. My mother comes out to the car to get us inside because her neighbors,"Her neighbors are husband, wife , son, and husband's mother. " Are waiting . My girlfriend is looking for a hair tie and we are attempting to get her in the house. This take 10 minutes before she finally gives up and comes inside.. my girlfriend calls this time blindness! I personally think she has some form of autism! Dinner ends ok and we go home. Now for today , I had to meet someone who was driving two hrs to meet me and purchase a $500 antique from me. I tell her that this man will be at the meeting location 45 minutes earlier than the actual time to try and make it match up with her "time blindness". I'll just say that we didn't make it to the meet up and this old gentleman was quite upset. I believe he has very good reason to be. Now I feel obligated to give him a break in price as well as bring the antique to him tomorrow. It's truly just her losing focus or getting distracted all day! Everything she does gets deviated away from. It's almost impressive to watch in person. Someone who starts looking at one thing online and ends up six other things down a line of randomness and not realizing how they got there... I'm truly frustrated and feel like a broken record, that I'm mean, and that she truly gets tired of me complaining. I am trying to accept this part of her and she sees that so we are happy in every other aspect. Also, she's gotten really upset and cried a few times when she's talked about this part of her life. I know it's really our a strain on her relationship with her family. I told her doctors can help but she's taken ADHD medication and it only got her G'ed up! Like she was on speed or something so I don't want to put her through that especially if she has attempted. But I believe technology has changed over the years and I need to convince her to a Dr visit. Your thoughts?

2024.05.18 07:57 EducationalQuiet2140 Certainty is the Sign
(Note To Reader: So this is an account of another encounter on Mr. Turners behalf. The interview happed last spring. In this session we got on the topic of claustrophobia and he told me this story. Here it is. -Dev)
When I was young my grandparents lived in a very nice old country home, just out side of town. The property must have only been a few acres but as a child I imagined it to be much, much larger. My grand father came from a long line of Swedish and Norwegian farmers. Himself being of the second generation born in America. He would tell me stories and tales of the home land, passed on to him by his grandfather.
The front lawn was perfectly manicured. The side yard that wrapped around to the back yard was also very neatly kept. I rather enjoyed the appearance of their house. From the outside it was very warm and inviting. The Trimming was a soft brown that looked very comforting above the white siding. The front entrance way was accompanied with a flowerpot growing a sunflower that was as tall as me at the time. Yellow as the sun.
The front door was red and had an old horseshoe door knocker. Just inside was the front room and it was very cosey. The stone fireplace warmed the wood paneled walls. The carpet was plush and felt as if you were stepping on a cloud. Soft on impact but almost springy on take off. I couldn't speak much on the comfortability of the couches as us kids were not allowed to sit on them. They were wrapped in clear plastic but they looked beautiful with their vintage floral pattern and hand carved wood frame.
The kitchen was through some French doors in the next room. It was open and was shared with the dining room. They had a very lovely cabinet with very fancy plates and silverware. Past the kitchen was a small hallway that led to a mud room/laundry room at the back of the house. At the halfway point of hallway was a bathroom to the left and to the right was a stairway leading down to the basement and guest room.
They had some interesting old, and very odd things down their. Lots of antiques; tables, chairs, dressers, Paintings, wooden hand carved sculptures; a large grandfather clock. It was a trove of mysterious belongings from unknown origins. The power of curiosity in a place like that is almost debilitating to a child. One day my brother found me playing with Lincoln logs in the front room on the floor saying "Hey" under his breath quietly. "I foun' somethin' on the stairs. Com'on I wanna show you!"
Like the pied piper and the spell that was cast on all the children in the town. I was compelled to follow. The air began to feel still as we crossed the thresh hold from front room to kitchen to hall way and half way down the stairs. It was so quiet. My brother pointed at a flag that was hung on the wall and a sign that hung above it that looked handmade and privative. There were words chiseled into the face but they didn't look like English. Their were some letters and symbols that I didn't recognize. The flag was a red background with a sideways blue cross and had a white border around the cross. As I got older I learned this was a Norwegian flag from the 1800s.
My brother grabbed the bottom corners of the flag lifting them up to reveal a small door not much bigger than myself. He looked at me and I stared back for a moment before he opened the door. A surge of cold, smelly, old, nasty air waffled out from the blackness inside. We both groan in repulse trying desperately not to vomit. Once we settled my brother said "Climb on in, lets check it out." As I reluctantly climbed in I tried to let my eyes adjust to the darkness.
I scanned the crawl space of the house until I noticed something move out of the corner of my eye and I refocused on an odd looking figure in the dark. It Lurched forward in my direction and growled at me just as the light behind me was snuffed out from the little door slammed shut. For the moment I was paralyzed. Completely strangled with fear. This Thing made a few thumping noise and sounds like something rustling around, getting closer. In this moment I regained functionality of my body and mind and began banging and hitting on the door with every ounce of desperation.
The only two thoughts that flooded my mind was one of certainty and one of uncertainty. I was certain at this point that the sign above the door was a warning in a much older language of some unholy creature from some nightmare in this waking world "Do Not Enter!" The uncertain thought was more of a question. Was this terrible blood curdling scream that reverberated through my ears into my skull and rattling my soul, coming from this unknown horror or was it coming from me?
Unfortunately or fortunately that is the end of the story. The rest of the event eludes me to this day. I had come to in my mothers arms as she was outside crossing the yard to leave. I remember looking up at her worried face and then looking back over her shoulder to see the the house. I noticed it was no longer daytime. I don’t remember visiting much after that memory.
(Final Notes: I actually visited the former property of his late grandparents, a few months back. I met the current property owners and after explaining what I was doing, they allowed me to check out the house. The house has been renovated over the last 25+ years but the overall layout matched the details of the house in the story. Most importantly the little door on the stairs.)

2024.05.18 00:26 Ok_Choice_9103 Constant Bullying at School
Hello all,
I am a high schooler in my Junior year and I have been experiencing constant bullying. In my Freshman year, I was unnoticed, not horribly popular, and I was content. I prefer remaining out of the spotlight aside from answering questions in class and maintaining good grades. However, in my Sophomore year, people started to tease me, talk about me behind my back, or call me by my full name. I do not know why, I am not inimical to my peers, I am slightly different in terms of my interests (antique telephones, homelabbing), and I have a dedication for my academics. However, the problem only appeared in my Sophomore year, and has been worsening since. I am asked ridiculous questions repeatedly to make me snap or to get me to answer with something that people can use as a joke or to paint a poor picture of me. People started to think less of me as a person with feelings and more as a punchline or someone to use for a joke. People start saying rude things behind me, or tease me, or act like general jerks, but in a subtle manner that teachers do not notice and it may seem to others like friendly banter. My lunch table does not respect me, does not listen to me, yet I do not bother them or even interact with them, and when I do I am met with opposition for no apparent reason. They will also move my items, categorize me to reduce my self esteem, and point out my every fault. People talk about me behind my back or right in fromt of me, always calling me by my full name and acting like jerks to me. Now no one talks to me except when it is in a firm of bullying, and my teachers nor my parents are aware of the issue (partly due to the subtly of the bullying). I only have 2 true friends, one of which moved to a nearby private school and the other of which is not available often. How do I fix this issue? Why is this happening? Thank you for any help and I hope you enjoy your day.

2024.05.18 00:00 ashblackswan Name for this hardware?
 | Refinishing this hidden leaf arts and crafts table and there is one piece of hardware missing I am trying to hunt down a replacement for. Reverse image searches have come up with nothing, as well as doing some deep research into antique furniture pattern diagrams listing hardware. submitted by ashblackswan to furniturerestoration [link] [comments] It is a steel piece that seems to be holding the lower track close to the upper track. The table is missing one, has 3 of the 4 it’s supposed to have. The table functions without it but the mechanism would definitely feel smoother with it. Looking for a name or point in direction of where possible to find. I’m familiar with Van Dyke’s and some of the major places, but maybe I missed something! |
2024.05.17 23:28 Fun_Comfortable_9636 Don't Go Into The Attic
This experience happened to me when I was in middle school. It was the summertime, and I was transitioning into the 8th grade. My brother was dating this girl, who I'll call Bailey for privacy reasons. Anyways, Bailey would always take us swimming everyday when she got off of work. Usually me, my brother and my younger cousins would wake up early in the morning to play some basketball or some other outside activity while we waited on Bailey to pick us up and take us to the lake. After we got done playing in the water, we would dry off and she would take us to get fast food and ride around town blasting pop music as loud a we can before we went home for the day. But today was different, as my younger cousins weren't here this week and it was just me and my brother. So the day went on as usual, me and my brother waited on Bailey to pick us up which she eventually did and we went swimming. After we get done and start drying off, Bailey proposes an idea, since the day wasn't over yet and we didn't wanna go home.
"I know of an interesting place to go." Bailey suggests, and she goes on to tell my brother there's a certain house she knows of she'll take us to. And we agree to it, and we finish drying off and get into her van. After we get something to eat at Dairy queen, we talk over the idea during lunch and Bailey decided to tell us that shes a median. She told us that she's able to communicate with ghosts and spirits. My brother initially laughed off the idea, thinking that she was playing at some kind of prank and Bailey rolls her eyes at his teasing before she insists that we believe her. Knowing that she was serious now, she goes on to tell us that she's going to prove it when we visit this house. We finish our lunch before we decide to head off to this said house she was referring to. We drove into town and came across a long dirt road driveway and drove down it. Down this road was a 2 story light blue and white wood house and we parked in the front of it. According to Bailey it had been abandoned for several decades and had never been bought, and she never gave any other history of it besides the fact that her Nana used to take her down here a lot and that's how she knows of it. We start venturing inside the house and I remember specifically there was an old piano beside the doorway on the right side where you came in. It was wooden and still played perfectly, and there was more furniture in the house that was in good condition in there. Like a few fancy armchairs around it, a dining table in the dining room with only one chair at it, a few fancy antiques on the walls here and there, a couch in the living room, a huge kitchen etc. It would have been someone's dream house if it wasn't for the creepy flooded basement. We noticed it had 2 bathrooms, one downstairs and one upstairs and it had 3 bedrooms. It erked me the fact that there was still perfectly good furniture in this house but yet had no trace of life in it, not even signs of a squatter. Usually when I hear abandoned house stories, the house is in terrible condition and is run down and infested with bugs or feces. Or the remaining furniture in there is tore up and destroyed, and there was evidence of stealing perhaps since there was only one dining chair and a few armchairs. But it was like not even the squatters or crackheads wanted to stay here as a place to call home. And that's saying a lot since our small town has heavy drug problems.
We started venturing upstairs and I found the string that lead to the attic. I pulled the string down and the attic stairs unfolded before me, my brother stopped was he was doing and looked at me with bewildered eyes and asked me. "What are you doing?" and I responded with "I wanna see whats in the attic." Now when I was 14, I didn't believe in the concept of spirits or ghosts at the time, and thought they were just stories people make up in order to scare others. And I wanted to impress the older kids with my small bravery and climbed the stairs to the attic. My brother handed me his phone to use a flashlight and I started looking around, remaining standing on the second step. My brother and Bailey were below me asking me, "What do you see?" and I see dusty books stacked upon books, porcelain dolls, some in good condition, some of them tore up or cracked or missing their eyes, book shelves, mannequins, some naked and some wearing dresses that seemed to be from the 20s. There was dust in the air and you could tell from how it danced in the sun rays that shined through the holes of the attic window that served as the only veil of light. There was porcelain dolls parts scattered all over the ground adding to my horror. I was starting to regret my decision of even coming up here, and I repeat what I just described to my brother and his girlfriend below me. And then I stop.
"What do you see? What do you see!?"
And I can't answer them because I'm trying to figure out if the mannequin I'm staring at is moving or not. And low and behold, it wasn't a mannequin, as the more I shined my light on it the more I realized it was a silhouette. It was a silhouette of a woman, cradling something in her arms, a baby or something, and behind her there was a darker, looming figure that was getting bigger and bigger.
I basically noped the fuck out of there after that, not wanting to see the rest and something in my instincts telling me it was something sinister. I jumped down the stairs, spraining my ankle, and racing, half limping down the stairs, before bolting out the door. My brother and Bailey ran after me and demanded to tell me what the hell did I see but I was too afraid to tell them in that moment, too shaken up after what I had just seen. After that we got in the van and on the way home I told them what I saw in that attic. When we got home we immediately researched the history of the house, and any records on who owned it but to no avail. We couldn't find anything on it, a far as we know. We basically gave up after that, since it was a cold case and every article we looked seemed to be a dead end. Its been 7 years since that happened, and I haven't visited the house since. When I told my friends about it, one of them researched where it was at only to discover that it had been supposedly tore down, but apparently that wasn't true. Recently, I've looked up where this house is located to make my story credible and its not showing up on my google maps, not the house or its driveway. Its really strange, and one of my other friends told me they have a friend that probably lives in it. I don't know the location other then its in Elberton, Georgia across from a Ingles, and when I visited it was completely abandoned and no one had bought in awhile. I came to Reddit with this story in order to figure out what exactly happened with the previous owners, with hopes of it being successful because I still think about what I saw in that attic. Honestly, you can choose to believe me or call bs, and I'll understand. All I can tell you is that some really sinister shit probably happened in that house and that's why its been abandoned for so long....
Update: One of my friends asked their mother about that house and she said that it used to be an old bed and breakfast dinner owned by this couple. The woman that owned it used to make dresses, that must have been the spirit that I saw in the attic. She continued to go on and say that the children of that family inherited the house and tried to give it away but sold it for too much money. I'm sorry that this info doesn't provide much clarity, but I'm hoping it helps. If you end up finding out this house has residency, please don't dox the address in the comments, for privacy reasons. My notifications will be on in case someone finds something.

I have an antique table that needs some restoration work. Is there anyone in Oceanside who does good work? I can also get to Calsbad and Vista easily.

2024.05.17 19:29 StentLife Yardbird Experience
I searched this forum for Yardbird reviews prior to posting and found it odd there were none in there. I then crossed against Google Reviews to see if I was way off but it seems to be in-line there.
My wife wanted to go to Brunch but not on actual Mother's Day - been there, done that, our kids are teens now. So went to Yardbird, the day before - mostly because we hadn't been there and the vibe seemed great.
TL;DR: I would skip this place
Yardbird, from the jump throws you off. There are what appear to be two entrances with two signs but you can only get in from one - the side opposite the Rivian dealership. Its impossible to tell how to even get in, at a glance. Once you enter, there is a large bar with a reflective mirror and a lobby area. This is done, presumably to make it look larger inside but the place is already huge. And it took me a solid minute to realize that I had to walk right into another area for dining (I had been parking the car).
The vibe itself is actually nice. Its clean, its wide, its antique coutoure if I had to give it a definition?
Once we sat down, we realized the booth seats are set no more than maybe 18" off the ground. They are so low that my kids were chin below the table. And the booths are so wide taht you can't even use teh back to prop yourself up against it. It just feels like they were trying to be different for different's sake instead of just making the usecustomer comfortable. This is a trend.
Once we got to the table, it took approximately 17 minutes before we were offered to take our drink order. We checked this because we arrived right at our reservation time so I just matched it against my watch. The only saving grace the whole day was our server. I wish I remembered his name but he was fantastic. Attentive, asked questions, explained things but ultimately the food and drink matters more.
They had reasonably priced unlimited mimosas and I ordered a bloody mary but I had to specify to put vodka. They default to bourbon - I understand if that's your thing but its not the default. Its different to be different. The drinks for the table - were sub-par. The bloody mary was lifeless, had no spice, and the only thing I tasted was Tajin.
Once our orders were taken, we waited approximately 40 minutes before getting our food. Which generally is fine for our family as we had nowhere to be but the place was not busy. There were multiple open tables, most of whom were 20 somethings and early 30's - small tables. Easier turnarounds. I would venture the place was half-full.
For a place that specializes in fried chicken, the chicken was dry, tasteless, and felt like it sat under a warmer once it was made earlier in the day. The biscuits - which is supposed to be their thing - were dry, again very little flavor, and just unintersting. Instead of creating a biscuit that was warm, fluffy, and flavorful, they had this contrarian biscuit style just for the sake of it, it felt like.
I won't get into detail on each plate as it was more of the same. I personally ordered the chicken and waffles and they didn't even serve it with their "famous" bourbon maple syrup. If that is your famous accoutrement, I would presume it would be at the table prior to the food coming out or included in a ramekin.
The entire experience was so below average for what I presume is a massive rent bill and inventory cost to build out. I think its a chain? I am not certain but I was certainly bummed out. As Denver's breakfast scene has fallen out of favor with lots of people, I was hopeful maybe this place would be different but more of the same.
At the price point, I would stay far away.

2024.05.17 05:15 Murmurville Dating Age Appropriately (delayed cross-post)
I posted this a couple of days ago at nonmonogamy and meant to cross-post then but life got in the way. I got some good responses and information - more importantly, I some older folks posted their experiences. This is posted as it appeared there except I changed "ENM" for "polyamorous" or some form of that word. I consider myself polyamorous in that I'm not rejecting a romantic connection if one comes my way. I'm a little skeptical though.
It should come as no surprise that the posts on this and similarly-themed sub-reddits come mostly from younger folks. There are subs for Dating Over 50, 60 but not ENM over or Poly over. Maybe there should be. Who knows.
There are though a few posts & comments about older men dating, or not dating, age appropriately. I get it - DiCaprio has become a running joke for his dating choices and people are remembering when Seinfeld was nearing 40, dating a high school-er. But those are mega-celebrities.
A commenter on a not too recent thread wrote, “There’s a lot of men who want to date age appropriate partners, your husband isn’t one of them. It shows he doesn’t value the wisdom, life experience, and shared life stage women his age bring to the table …” This got me to thinking.
The ENM & poly dating pools in general ebb and flow I think we agree based in substantial part on location. I think we can agree the ENM/poly dating pool in say Portland OR is probably more robust than say, in [insert random mid-western city here]. There is, of course, a case to be made that if you’re into something you should go to where that action is. I get that.
I’m in my early 60s and am one of those men (married) who wants to date age appropriate partners. For some reason though, I have no idea where to find such potential partners. In my area at least, they are pretty scarce on the dating sites I’ve joined. The poly mixer crowd I found skews quite young, almost to a one, almost to the point of my feeling out of place despite generally friendly atmospheres. I’ve been to two BDSM meet & greets - that’s just going to be a hard no for me.
Even in the wild I’ve noticed I just don’t see women my age out in settings where mingling or just saying hello might be expected (by me anyway). I spent some time in the center city of my large metro area a couple of weekends ago. I hit bars, resale shops antique shops, smoke shops, a food truck, a bookstore — lots of folks out & about in great Spring weather, but women in my age range were very few and far between. Young people were everywhere. That night I went to a club for live music. Same. One day is a small sample size, true, but still, it’s disconcerting.
Keep in mind — it’s not that I’m getting turned down for dates. I’m not finding that age appropriate ENM women (or just age appropriate women) at least in my area, exist, or at least exist in friendly spaces. Getting turned down I can deal with. Tilting at windmills is another matter.
So my question for ENM/poly men of a certain age dating age appropriately is - where & how did you meet your partners? For ENM/poly women who like me are of a certain age, how and where are you meeting men? I’m just seeking examples really - brief vignettes, if you will. What am I not thinking of? What am I missing? The concept of ENM/poly men dating age appropriately begins, it seems, with there being age appropriate ENM/poly women in the mix seeking to date men. I’d like to exhaust this trail before considering the alternatives.

2024.05.17 02:11 7dear The MOTHER of all wedding drama!
(This was originally posted in Wedding Shaming)
Strap in y’all, it’s a long one and it’s full of bad. Have some kitten videos ready for after!
So let me preface this by saying I am estranged from my mother and have been for most of my life. She is a paranoid narcissist, a racist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, and just all around terrible person. She abused me growing up so I cut loose in high school, got emancipated and got on with my life. For years I had a happy queer relationship with another woman and we had a son together (I carried with a sperm donor). When my kid was 5 his other mom died and I was alone for 5 years before I met someone. A year later, that someone and I got married. Previous to said wedding my husband’s parents felt it would be important to meet my parents. My father died when I was 19 so that left my mother and her husband. I struggled over the decision to try and reconnect with my mom, knowing how bad this can get for me in these situations (I suffer severe ptsd from the abuse trauma).. but it was a wedding and everyone kept telling me it “was important to have family together.” So fine, let’s do this.
The problems started fast and furious. My mom came to our coast (we live on opposite coasts) to meet my fiancé and my son. Right away she was pulling my husband to the corner to tell him all the “dirt” she could on me, or conversely, telling him he better get me nice cars and plastic surgery. Then she stated calling all of her friends and putting my fiancé on the phone to “prove to them that her daughter was marrying a doctor” (even if he is a goy (a Yiddish term for non-Jew. Has slightly derogatory tones).
Cut to lunch and my mother is asking how many tables she “gets” at the wedding. I ask “huh?” She explains she needs a least 5 tables at 10 per table for HER guests. I was really confused. I explained that our whole wedding venue seated 50 people total and those seats were spoken for. I had invited several people my mother asked me to have already. She went absolutely bananas demanding we change venue (we’re now 6 weeks from the wedding) to accommodate HER GUESTS. I painfully explained we can’t do that.. it’s not possible.. just no. She then switches gears like she always does and asks about our honeymoon. We were heading to Mexico for 2 weeks and my son would be staying with his donomyBFF. My mom screamed “what??? He needs to be with HIS FAMILY.” I reminded her that he was staying with family. She demanded time with my son so I half heartedly said she could have him half the time. (This will come back to haunt me later.)
Day of the wedding. Did I mention my mom is a low key alkie? So it’s about 2pm and she’s in the bridal suite in the bathroom. I’m in the dress and the photographer is waiting for my mother to come and use an antique button-holer to button up my gown. I’m nervous and excited and emotional because I’m in the dress and this is my day. This is one of the photos we had pre-planned to take. I asked my mother if she would do the honors. Instead, my mother is in the bathroom half dressed with her fireball and ice screaming into the phone at her husband “you are so stupid, how can you not find it!? I put it on the damn dresser! I can’t f**ing believe I married you…” you get the picture. It’s so loud the guests in the living room can hear it. I finally give up and have my son do the buttonholing for me (the pics were so special). Thank goodness it wasn’t video because you would have her my mother screaming “Can anyone get me another drink?? Does this room even have room service??”
Cut to walking down the aisle. We do the ceremony, it’s perfect, and my delightful friend and officiant announces “Introducing Mr. & Mrs Jon— when suddenly my mom stands up and screams “It’s DOCTOR not MISTER, get it right!”
Now I knew we had a problem on our hands ahead of the big day so I put in some contingency plans in place to buffer her. My wedding planner was under strict instructions to not allow my mother to make a speech (she loves to humiliate me by saying personal things about me to anyone who will listen and then she loves to announce what a terrible daughter I am and how much of a disappointment to her.) Second plan was my SIL faking a heart attack if she got her hands on the mic. About half thru dinner my delightful planner comes to me crying saying she’s so sorry but my mom is demanding to make a speech. That’s right, this tiny demon of a woman made my wedding planner CRY. Right then she stood up (have no idea how she got the mic) and said, “So my daughter didn’t want me to say anything. I guess she gets embarrassed, but I’m her MOTHER, and I get to say whatever I want. I’m here to say that I always knew she was going to marry a doctor, it didn’t surprise me at all. What did surprise me is when I gave birth to her and the nurses told me she was a girl, but I didn’t believe them so I had to take her diaper off and spread her legs and look at her vagina to make sure she was a girl.” She illustrated this by spreading her two fingers open. You could here jaws dropping around the room. She then went on to say “how disappointed she was in me that I don’t see her more often and that she hopes now that I have a doctor husband I’ll be able to see her more frequently”. Sadly my SIL was in the loo and plan 2 failed.
Cut to the dancing. I am dancing with my husband and my friends. We’re all having a good time when somebody comes up to me and taps me on the shoulder and says “hey, I don’t wanna cause a scene or anything but you might want to look at your mom”. I look over at my mother and she has taken off the jacket to her dress and now she’s peeling off the shoulder straps one by one and waving her head around to the music saying “oh my goodness it’s getting so hot in here!” This b*tch was trying to take her clothes off on the dance floor. Oh, I forgot to mention earlier that she had a three drink maximum, but she was getting around this by asking other people to get drinks for her.
The next morning I of course got to hear alllllll the embarrassing stories from the night before. She asked why my friend married “an Arab,” called another guest “not Jewish enough to attend the wedding” and complained to anyone who would listen that I didn’t even allow her 50 guests, and the party would have been so much more fun if she had done it.
And the pièce derésistance? Right as we were leaving for our honeymoon I got a call from her saying “I know you need ME to watch YOUR kid, but not unless you do something for me. You’ll need to call your brother and make nice with him again.” My brother and I are estranged for reasons I can’t get into now. I said no, he’ll go to his real family, the one that cares for him without strings attached.
There you have it! One cluster fluff of a mother story!
For anyone interested, we don’t talk anymore and I couldn’t be happier and I’m still happily married! Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Ok, just a few clarifications for people asking Q’s-
In answer to the question about my in laws- My in laws are the sweetest, kindest people ever. I honestly think they had no idea a human adult could behave like that. I wanted to please them and I didn’t say a whole lot about my mother. I didn’t want them to see her as a red flag for the marriage. They never mentioned her again 😂 which was their way of acknowledging she’s not worth talking about.
For those of you judging me for half heartedly agreeing to let my kid visit my mom-totally get your stress! Don’t worry, she never had contact with my kid alone. For clarity, he was going to spend four days with a safe family where my mother happened to be staying as well. By the end of the weekend it was clear that even that was too close.
For those of you wondering why I would even let her come to the wedding - Some people (like me) relent and reopen because our abusers did a very good job of breaking us and making us question everything we think and believe. So every time some well meaning idiot Said “Aw, you should take to your mom! She’s your mom!” We think “Omg, my mom is right. I’m the worst f**king daughter ever and I’ve been ignoring her all these years and there must be something so wrong with me that I did that.”
Now, after YEARS of therapy and support I know better. Back then I was still pretty deep in my trauma.
