Should have filmed this in Yonkers.


It only makes sense.

I agree 100%

Why?

reply

Because of ShogunofYonkers.

They actually do a lot of film production in Yonkers. The city has a variety of neighborhoods, some look dangerous, gritty and urban and other blocks are full of gardens and tidy little houses, the sort of neighborhood you’d be happy to live in👍

There are streams and woodlands, there’s even a swamp (with some really good carp fishing!) in Yonkers.

The City has stood in for Boston, San Fran and lots of other locales.

A lot of film productions have shot in Yonkers, Kevin Bacon even filmed a few scenes for Loverboy on my block. His wife, Kyra Sedgwick pointed into my garden and mentioned my birdbath in the movie!
I thought that was pretty cool but it was a pretty boring movie tbh…
Whatever, I once owned a famous birdbath lol.

Can you hang your pheasant to age until it falls off the string?

I recall that from the novel, it sounded so gross!

Why did you move from this house? You could have made millions doing a birdbath tour for Loverboy fans from all over the world.

Great novel but only a mediocre TV series.

Apparently 16th Century Japanese Ladies got off with dildos…that’s pretty hot and possibly the weirdest thing ever posted on MC.

Apologies to the sensitive sorts but it’s in the book.

I think another part in the book that I don't remember in the series is the part where they were offering him some ladies and he protested, they're confused, so they offer him a boy...

reply

Jeez! I must have blocked that out.

reply

I am not sure, a boy or a young man?

reply

I don't remember. I suppose (to Anjin-san) a "boy" would be "worse" than a "young man" but only by degree...

reply

Great novel and great series as well.

reply

I liked the miniseries better than ShogunofYonkers--it is one of my all-time favorites.

👍

Speaking of 16th century dildos, just yesterday archaeologists have discovered what they believe to be the only known life-size Roman dildo:
