Many movies have Maine in them or mention Maine and it’s not disparaging.

Reference: Iron Giant

Iron Giant is a deeply underrated movie that I need to watch again—I don’t think I realized it was set in Maine though. Neat!

I read an interview with one of the filmmakers once wherein he said the movie grew out of the question: "what if a gun knew it was a gun, and didn't want to be?"
