Bubble under: a comprehensive local look
Old news to some, but there's a weird and intriguing study of Bubble over at Pie and Coffee, talking to some locals. "Sarah, a book designer, once worked for Lee Middleton Dolls, and lived in Belpre much of her life. "I’m really excited about Bubble. I’m really excited because it was shot in the doll factory where I used to work. Too bad I don’t still work there, because I would’ve totally been in that movie. P&C: [You're] from the Mid-Ohio Valley. And Bubble was shot here. This is the first major movie set in the Mid-Ohio Valley since “Night of the Hunter.” Sarah: Everyone I tell that I worked in a doll factory first of all thinks it’s creepy. Then they look it up online, and they think it’s even creepier when they see the dolls. People seriously get really creeped out... So I think that’s probably it. The doll factory is creepy. Bubble is like a murder mystery, right? There’s a cop in it, and he’s a real cop, and there’s these people that work in the doll factory... But what was creepy was we would—and I think I can tell about this—we would do work for other companies. Like we would make those full-size dolls you put in your car to make it look like you have someone with you. And we made like crack babies and stuff..." [More discursive stuff at the link.]
