That’s really terrible to read. I always wondered what happened to him, I loved his work on Carnivale and Sin City. I hope he continues to do well in life, whether in movies or out of them.

A: A wild boar will fuck you up, chasing it is a really bad idea!

How does one process then react to seeing Shakira chasing a wild boar? I think that the situation was over before most people processed it.

Dangerous AND smart and able to adapt and learn, meaning that they become even more dangerous. Plus the adult males can withstand rifle fire to a point, which means you’ve got a smart, dangerous and now injured animal that will do it’s best to maul you to death.

Random strangers are supposed to risk being mauled to get her phone back, duh.  I mean, it's just their life and safety, but it's her _phone_!

Apologies to Shakira, but what the hell are you supposed to do in that situation? I'm not gonna fight a boar for a purse

I would LOVE the US to embrace capsule hotels, especially along the big interstate exits.

Hang on, Capsule Hotels are AWESOME. A place to rest, bathe, do laundry, and THAT’S IT. They are generally quiet because the guests are all solo and generally just passing the evening before going home. I love them. I’m just sad that many of them are going away in the Tokyo area.

If you thing Munger Hall is bad, I have an idea of what Bezos Hall would look like:

You missed out that there had already been three ‘misfires’ on set before this one, and that someone actually wrote to the production manager to warn them that there was a dangerous lack of gun safety...

So you have an armorer whose only other experience was on a film where she routinely employed unsafe procedures, an assistant director who was known for bypassing safety meetings and protocols, and a gun used for live ammo target practice shortly before being used for a scene.

I swear, with every new headline this story just keeps getting worse.

bless that man

Wow, that’s even better than having your name in the phone book!

If I ever meet him, I think I’ll go meta and recognize him as Charles-Haden Savage and talk about how much I liked Brazzos.

I read a profile of Steve Martin where he explained that signing autographs for his fans every time he went out in public became too time consuming, so he resorted to handing out these pre-autographed cards.

Probably a dealer of antique firearms, possibly one whom they found locally in New Mexico and who had no experience selling to film productions. Whoever delivered it likely didn’t bother to make sure it was empty and just assumed the prop master would take care of it.

Why the fuck would live ammo be anywhere near a film set using prop weapons

Well, from the article, it’s a job they shouldn’t have had or been doing — so that checks out.

Jesus, that’s... horrible. Who the fuck brings live ammunition to a film set? Someone clearly didn’t do their job.
