My first thought was, he’s getting that shaky old man handwriting and maybe isn’t comfortable with it. 

I really enjoyed it too. The thought of someone from the past living in the future (or present day) is a concept that intrigues me.

I didn’t think The Old Guard was a drag at all. I thought it was a blast. 

Another insane detail I have read in multiple places is the crew (union? the scabs? who the hell knows) took some of the guns off set that very morning to go target shooting off in the desert.

I’m not a Nevada criminal lawyer (though I am a lawyer, non-criminal, different state), but I’d think there’s probably some sort of reckless endangerment as the most likely charge to focus on. That aside, there’s some serious civil liability all around.

And yeah, hiring him after all these things, especially the gun,

Yeah, this guy is a bad apple, an asshole with little regard for set safety and no regard for the sanctity of a lunch break, but there’s a definite systemic problem when this sort of asshole gets put in charge time and again. It seems to me that his priorities, of saving time, saving money and cutting corners wherever

It was reported here and elsewhere that the union camera crew walked off set, not the armorer. I don’t think the armorer they initially hired was union, although that’s mostly because if she was, that information has been omitted from most articles. I have read that several people turned down the armorer job (possibly

First of all, I really can’t blame him - can you imagine how many times he has been forced to autograph random shit during his professional life? But I do find his follow-up comment about “Let’s chat, let’s exchange stories” pretty amusing; so instead of spending 10 seconds signing a receipt and posing for a selfie,

People are fucking weird on social media. Either tagging people in on things which will clearly make them uncomfortable or just amplifying shit in the worst way possible.

I don’t have an issue with the mimicry. It’s crazy good. And you have to hustle in this business; I get why Costa did it. Make good shit and put it out into the universe, make things happen, etc etc.

This is the first article I’ve seen about this thing that mentions how kind of... gross it feels.

What if a comedian isn't funny at all and just spouts hateful shit that aren't actually jokes?

If a comedian never crosses the line, I’m not sure I can respect them.

nah, these weren’t even jokes. they were just lazy attempts to justify his issues with outrage culture by doubling down on his transphobia. there wasn’t some amazing insight, and this is a netflix special, not some material he was testing.

Congrats by the way for coming out!

Considering this incredibly rich man came back from his self-imposed exile by telling us to give Trump a chance because it might be good for his money, before launching into a series of comedy specials in which he routinely doubled down on some dumb and hateful shit against minorities (because he was convinced he was

Why is he talking to the gay and trans community as though we are diametrically opposed to the Black community?

jebus, he doubled down on it? Fuckin A he can talk about literally anything he wants to and get paid millions of dollars and THIS is what he’s passionate about? The earlier transphobic stuff really soured me on that special and made me start to reconsider him. Then I watched 8:46 and it wasn’t amazing, but more than

Oh Jesus Christ.  As someone who has struggled with gender identity and after this year identity as a woman this is goddamn miserable.  I live in the same state Chappelle calls home and people loooooove him here.  Siding with JK Rowling is a rather quick and easy way to out yourself as an asshole.

2003 Dave would probably strangle himself to prevent 2021 Dave’s existence if he knew he’d become the sorta asshole who panders to the people who made him quit Chappelle’s Show in the first place.
