Bogosian...Bogosian-ing (“Well. Isn’t that neat and tidy?”) all over this trailer might be a significant impediment to me watching this show.

It seems like you’re suggesting a key to their recovery would be simplifying his pronoun game.

Obviously, the answer will be to make Miller’s mental health recovery a Discovery+ reality series. It’s harder to break into your neighbor’s houses to steal their booze when you’re trailing a reality TV crew with you.

Thank you. That was the laugh I needed today.

Be fair. Guaranteed, Diesel knows Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition rules better than The Rock does.

Hutchins’s family has already gone after Baldwin. He’s the name defendant in their suit, as an individual, and they’re claiming his liability goes beyond just being a producer to his handling of the gun. They allege the scene in question didn’t require Baldwin to fire the gun, and that the gun wasn’t even necessary…

To be clear: the culpability I see for Baldwin is purely civil, in the various wrongful death and infliction of distress actions that have been brought. I don’t think there’s a criminal case against him or believe that there should be.

Maybe that’s what’s in the script, but it doesn’t seem to be what he was supposed to do in this pre-shooting run-through that they were doing without the cameras rolling and with the director and DP in the line of fire. And as I said, he’s going to have a very hard time convincing people that he pulled the trigger in…

Thanks. That’s a very thorough explanation, and I’m kind of surprised that in all the coverage of this tragedy, no media outlet I’ve seen has found someone to explain it this clearly.

Here’s the thing: in Massey’s case, he was supposed to pull the trigger and supposed to have the weapon pointed at Lee. That was the scene he was acting in, and from everything I’ve read he did exactly what he was supposed to do in the scene. You’re generally not negligent if you do the things that you’re supposed to…

Regardless of the fact that the gun was supposed to be loaded with dummy rounds and/or blanks, I think if Baldwin is found to have pulled the trigger he will be on the hook for some level of contributory negligence. It might be a small portion of the liability, but it’ll still be liability. That’s why Baldwin’s gone…

The only bizarre thing is that the investigation is being carried out in a very public manner, and that Baldwin, Baldwin’s lawyers, and Guttierez-Reed’s lawyers have decided to engage the media at every opportunity. Usually the parties to a lawsuit and incident with potential criminal consequences are less chatty.

I compare it to being handed a gun at a party, and being told it’s safe, and it goes off and kills someone. It’s shared blame, both by the owner who failed to check, and me, who assumed it was safe and abrogated my own duty as a person possessing common sense skills. And I say this as someone who has been on numerous…

I love how the Variety article has unnamed WB execs seeking to “mend fences” with Leslie Grace, while in the same article those same execs are insisting the Joker sequel “is more like A Star Is Born than In the Heights”... a quote that throws a whole lot of shade on Grace’s other movie for WB. Nice way to show an…

I’d think Miller’s salary for The Flash is a sunk cost by now, the way that Depp’s salary was on Secrets of Dumbledore (he got paid in full despite only putting in a few day’s work). The best answer, if they have the guts and the money, is just to recast Miller and reshoot as much of that performance as possible. A…

Actors are always like, “I’ll sell out for a little while, because there’s a mansion off the beach that I’ve had my eye on and I just need a little more money to be able to buy it.” What they forget is that after you buy that mansion, the first time anything goes wrong with the plumbing is really expensive. Like,…

“Whatever reason” is mainly animation—a ton of people who never touched a comic book saw the Super Friends, and later the Justice League/JLU tv series. The Avengers didn’t have anything similar until after the MCU got going. The Marvel properties that did (Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk) were the big movie…

I’d be shocked if any actor who has to be rendered in CG as often as Miller does in their performances as the Flash doesn’t have a number of likeness provisions in his contract that effectively counteract the Crispin Glover case. In any case, what’s being proposed here is a reverse Crispin Glover—rather than their…

It’s just the lot of them trying to pretend that their viewpoints aren’t completely out of whack with contemporary culture.

That Discovery+10-year plan is really paying off dividends early, isn’t it?
