Was a terrible accident Chico. No need for the hangman unless someone incited this action which led to deaths.

The current rumor is that the prop master was non-union and wasn't following proper procedure - if true he should be the only one taking a charge on this. RIP to the poor girl who died - dying due to someone else's negligence is a terrible way to go.

Non union like he was the bad guy…laughable. Who hired non union guy and why? Sounds like a rumor to somehow run cover for a moron like Baldwin…how anyone holds respect for this guy in the first place needs their head examined. Clowns and morons including Baldwin. Most people who know how to handle a gun understand the responsibility.

Your ignorance pops up again chico. Witness's are saying that the prop master gave the gun to Baldwin and he was told it was "safe and good to go" .

LOL.

You ever been on a movie set before? Their time with the camera rolling is highly regulated due to how expensive it is and to minimize wasted film. They literally pay people to be prop masters and weapon masters (if a film has enough weapons in it) to make sure all intended props are prepared properly and ready to go for filming. On a cheap movie producers will absolutely try to save money by cheaping out on a qualified prop master. Sadly - her death is not the first time this has happened and it probably won't be the last.

Anybody who reads your post is gonna know immediately you're talking out of your ass out of an irrational hate for Baldwin. Which I get - because he is an asshole. But this isn't on him.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Just scapegoating the low man on the totem pole as the problem isn’t right. Rumors also say people walked off because of security issues and multiple issue with the prop gun. It will be the producers who should be held accountable..,as they should be.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

My question is, why was the gun pointed at her? She isn't an actress in the film, so how did she end up getting shot along with the director?

What a freak way to die. Very shitty.

Believe he was pointing the gun at the camera - which is one of the most dangerous sequences to film. Director was probably behind her checking out the film shot.

I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong as new information comes to light - such as that post I linked. If Baldwin was part of the decision-making census that decided to forge ahead without properly trained crew he bears some of the responsibility for this.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Spy Hard came out in 1996, I was 13. I love this movie. Watching it right now. Probably haven't seen it in at least 10 years. It's such stupid humor, I can't recommend it to others, but I'm dying laughing. Sometimes dumb humor is just what the doctor ordered.

I went in with high expectations and left slightly underwhelmed. Didnt realize it was a remake of Kurosawa's Rashomon until half way through. Which was cool. Nice surprise.

I enjoyed it, like any Ridley Scott movie the costume, set, lighting cinematography were next level artistic but when I saw Matt Damons character I saw Matt Damon, when I saw Adam Drivers character I saw Adam Driver, when I saw Ben Affleck I saw Ben Affleck.

----------

Ridley Scott - im confused a bit by this huge surge in work hes putting in the past 5 years or so ... dudes an old man and seems like hes made more the past 5 years vs his entire career. I find most of his movies to droll on a bit but visually hes the man, and he can tell a good story.

I thought was Belfast was a little disappointing. I would like a comprehensive movie about the Troubles in Northern Ireland as it’s a fascinating situation.

Nightmare Alley was good, not great. With an ending that was lacking.

A great movie I saw recently was The Card Counter. [url]https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11196036/[/url].

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Speaking of Ridley Scott I just watched the director's cut of Blade Runner. Hard to believe that movie is 40 years old.

The Northman is by far and away one of the best films I’ve seen in awhile. Outstanding and original. Great camerawork and visually impressive.

I need to see that.

Went to see Top Gun Maverick over the weekend, thought it was maybe a little overhyped but it was very solid overall. Fast paced, lots of great action, and plenty of call backs to the original. Great summer popcorn movie.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Yeah saw Top Gun in the theaters…I thought it was better than the first. Love the nostalgia and good cast, Miles Teller is becoming a top actor. When I first saw him in Whiplash thought he could become special. Side note, see Whiplash, one of my favorites in the last ten years.

Also, right as Covid hit, this brand new Cinema Cafe opened near my girlfriend and sat empty…now that Folks have returned to the movies, dude I’m never seeing a movie anywhere else…lounge chairs, beer and cocktails and great food with waitstaff. It’s freaking awesome

Yeah it was a little long, tough to tell a story like that over 2.5 hours, it almost needs to be a series with multiple episodes
