“In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, the Naked Gun franchise consisted of three films”

But the U.S. had some unexpected allies. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the U.A.E. also stepped in to help protect Israel, which is, yeah, confusing.

Oh, so you’re stupid, and can’t read a totally different situation that you just googled. But good on you for a strawman. 

You have obviously never been on a set and clearly have no idea what a director does. Since you clearly don’t know, they give full control of any prop, from guns to whatever, to the crews that should know what they’re doing, and mostly sit down and watch their work and maybe give tips to the cinematographer on angles…

I wasn’t around during that, but I think the addition of live rounds is probably the key difference. A squib, improperly checked or not, is still a reasonable expectation on a movie set. A real bullet is not.

Brandon Lee’s incident was a bizarre and never before seen confluence of circumstances that changed basic protocol and everyone involved wasn’t just contrite, but it sent them into a spiral of depression that some barely recovered from. And there was a court case, but it was civil, so behind the scenes, and a private s…

I wasn’t around during that, but I think the addition of live rounds is probably the key difference. A squib, improperly checked or not, is still a reasonable expectation on a movie set. A real bullet is not. Also, I believe a lot of modern safety regulations regarding guns were drawn up in the wake of that incident,…

I don’t necessarily disagree that 18 months is harsh, but I’ve been basically incompetent at my job hundreds of times and never got anyone killed or even injured. Actually given Cogent’s information, I’d say what might have been an overly harsh sentence actually seems much more reasonable. I mean, say what you will…

That’s the show I want to see.

Wait, what’d he do to . . . OH! You said “beating OUT”! My bad. I thought we had a story here!

So Boomers and Gen X are all lumped together now for you sniveling whiny Gen Zzzz’s who need a trigger warning for everything?

Star Trek used to role with 26 episodes a season, every year. Now you are lucky if you get 10 in two years. Its worse than Rick aand Morty.

given how long promotions usually take in Starfleet

I think my oldness might be showing here - “Maybe” is really central to Fallout 1, playing over that incredible ending, and so it’s the song I most closely associate with the games. “World On Fire” is also a biggie, but “Maybe” will always be THE Fallout song for me. Zur’s soundtrack is a whole other, great thing -…

“The wasteland has its own golden rule. Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time.”

The headline has transposed “teeth” and “fingers”. The Gulper has human fingers instead of teeth. 

The show clearly isn’t taking the position that they should all just be killed.

Neither of you are wrong. People are needed for genetic diversity, that has been established since the whole thing opened with discussions about taboos against inbreeding. But integrating The Raiders by reading them Shakespeare or teaching them calculus is absolutely poking fun at Ivory Tower Intellectuals. They’d be…

“the show is playing the Vault Dwellers for buffoons,”

The Gulper absolutely does have a direct analogue in the games: it’s a creature in the Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4.
