That was the AD’s job (David Hall) who pronounced the gun ‘cold’ before handing it to Baldwin.

Is that the point? I thought the point was that someone got killed by a gun on a movie set and there are ways to help make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Anyway, you can believe whatever you’d like about what an actor should or shouldn’t do. If I’m ever handed a real gun on set again, I’m going to make damn sure I…

I disagree completely. If someone is pulling the trigger, they need to know what’s about to happen. Their job title is irrelevant. This story proves that.

Mendoza also said that the bullet recovered from director Joel Souza’s shoulder is believed to be the same bullet that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and is a “lead projectile.” The police are in possession of the bullet and its shell, both were obtained as evidence.

I never saw Nanette, so I can’t speak to it. I’m merely judging Chappelle for his own work. But his audience was laughing reacting as though it were a typical comedy special. *shrug*

Right. And as the audiences in his taped specials show, his audience of fans is primed to laugh at anything he says. I barely thought his last special was comedy. It was confident. It was strongly-worded opinion. But I found myself wondering what the live audience was roaring with laughter about. Hell, even he has…

“Live round” does not mean“live bullet”. Anything with a charge, including a blank, is considered “live”. Fix your headline.

Stop speculating. There’s nothing that implies misuse. Maybe he was supposed to shoot twice in rapid succession. Maybe he hit the cinematographer (who, by the way, isn’t necessarily the camera operator) who fell onto the director, causing their injury. We have no idea what happened and will just have to wait to hear…

Oh good, a film about the least interesting and relevant part of his life.

What the fuck did that teaser do to show off anything about the performance or film, let along “prove critics wrong”?

Yes, it takes much more than a viral video to get a film done.

It’s not really “test footage.” It’s a fan-film. This dude makes Fan Films, and that’s what this is, too. Calling it “test footage” is a good way for people who don’t know what his whole deal is to share it

Boo

It was like that on Hulu. At first I was disappointed but after watching the entire series again, there were maybe 5 moments that seemed cropped strangely. The show was shot in such a way that cropping it is almost seamless. Non-issue. 

I’d always heard Cave’s script involved the afterlife somehow, but never read this plot detail. I...kinda want to see that story. 

Many white men have made careers out of being merely mediocre and failing upwards. I interpreted this to be referring to that.

And with regards to SNL, man...every time I watched it in the last year or two I was awe-struck by the aggressive mediocrity of its white men. I don’t even care for Beck Bennett and found him…

I feel like corporate gigs are the dirty little secret of rock bands, who are supposed to be the poster children for teenage rebellion. The pay is good, and the experience is, at best, dull and at worst, degrading. But hey, money!

So was his dad. I saw an interview with him once and was like “Shit, Kevin Finnerty was his real voice?!”

The second trailer made it clear that Tony was going to be a minor part of this, which seems like the right choice, given that they cast Gandolfini’s son solely for his name and genetics, rather than acting experience.

I dunno. Still seems worth a watch. Honestly, even Scorsese gangster films seem like a vague imitatio…

He is a product of the late 90s, for sure. It’s easy to forget what was bubbling up around us that Fight Club in particular was poking at. Corporations and chains became truly ubiquitous in a way that is hard to even recognize as being weird now.
