Why did people assume an Asian woman in BBC viral video was the nanny? -- (link) - LMS Mar 13, 07:18 17
- I did not because I forget nannies exist. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 10:53
- I hadn't seen anyone assuming it was the nanny. I did see some people calling it an example of the "patriarchy" - IrishStephen Mar 13, 07:58
- I assumed because she was dressed normal and a pony tail and he was in a business suit - she came skidding around the corner like her job depended on - Epiphany Mar 13, 07:48
- I was more focused on how she pulled the baby in that seat thing while straight up dragging the other kid out so fast. -- nm - MDH Mar 13, 07:40
- If people bothered to actually look at the kids they look half-Asian. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 07:29 8
  - My friend's excuse is that watching it on her phone she couldn't make out the kids were half Asian and she assumed nanny. -- (edited) - LMS Mar 13, 07:46
  - all I saw was, CUTE! the kid in the stroller was adorbs. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 07:31 6
    - The daughter who walks in first, is all "i have super attitude!", i love her. -- nm - Andie Mar 13, 07:32 5
      - that was the BEST -- nm - JenBro Mar 13, 07:47
      - When the baby appeared you know he/she was like "I've finally made it in here!" -- nm - MDH Mar 13, 07:41 2
        
        you could totally tell it was a life goal of the baby. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 07:43 1

Dawson/someone can you explain this to me: Bad Dads has a July 2017 release date. No cast, not started filming, how is this possible? - MDH Mar 13, 06:55 9
- It means they announced the release date before making the movie. World War Z 2 was officially on the schedule for a July 2017 release until a few - Roger More Mar 13, 07:04 1
  - Makes sense. I know it was a "surprise hit," but IMO it was one of the easiest calls for a hit all of 2016. -- nm - MDH Mar 13, 07:08

- unrelated: Saw the trailer for CHIPS before Logan. That does not look good -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 13, 06:59 2

    - Did not realize he directed it. -- nm - MDH Mar 13, 07:02
- or it's just a straight up mistake on the release date. Meant to be 2018 or something. -- nm - Andie Mar 13, 06:58 2
  - Widely reported this past fall (Variety, Deadline, etc) that they wanted fastracked for summer 2017, so odd. -- (link) - MDH Mar 13, 07:02 1
    - deals probably just haven't come together. Meanwhile Bad Moms Christmas starts shooting next month in GA. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 07:04
