Just like in that one movie series where, after everything is said and done, hunger wins.

She got her job because of her father (who was also a hollywood armourer). She was almost fired (should have been fired) from a previous film for firing a test shot right next to Nicholas Cage without announcing it first.

I’m not an armorer, but the IWLMSC says no, and I don’t think armorers are supposed to be responsible for personally manufacturing blanks on set in real time.

Apparently she really pissed off Nicolas Cage on that previous shoot for her laxness.

Don’t actors already receive weapons training for every weapon they’re handling

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...

I just read an article where the armorer had very similar safety complaints when working on another film a few months ago (her first as an armorer).

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

Dear god is his Twitter horrible. I scrolled through for a couple minutes and it seems he exclusively tweets either pissy complaints about things that have mainstream success, or “owns” against idiotic “enlightened centrists” like Gad Saad. He seems like one of those people that is just allowing Twitter to bring out…

People have been acting like James Mattis personally writes every Marvel script under a pseudonym when the truth is far less problematic.

I’m not familiar with whatever podcast Jesse Hawken is on, but he’s been tweeting constantly about Eternals for months now. It’s really become a sad obsession with him. The Marvel fans who accuse everyone of being racist for not liking it are certainly awful, but I’ve gotten so sick of all the smug people shitting on…

One of Tony’s big things is that he doesn’t think the government should have access to his tech.

What a lot of people are noting is that there’s still not a lot of discussion about which producers had the ability to have helped with this situation.

i.e., Baldwin is listed as a “co-producer” but it’s unclean if he was in that role as a financier or if he did work beyond that, and which other listed producers were…

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.

Er… no. This isn’t.

Most of the Bebop stories are relatively self contained. It could be episode 2 and it wouldn’t really change what’s going on. 

Money says they’re saving that for either a second season, OR, more likely, not sharing the casting so folks new to the series are just as flabbergasted as the Bebop crew at the big reveal.

I can see season one ending with the tease of Ed we got in the original show, if I remember right the episode that was attached to would make a good end point.

You are making a lot of assumptions.  They may not be meticulously adapting these episodes. Further, Ed is not showing up until the end of the first season.  

You seem very convinced, for no real reason, that they are approaching this adaption as a one-to-one remake of the original show, completely with the exact chronological sequence it had.
