Not just misfires — LA Times says a stunt double accidentally fired the gun twice after being told it was “cold”. Everything that went wrong on that set had already previously gone wrong on that very same set just days earlier. Nothing was corrected in response.

Yeah. This just gets worse by the minute. Holy shmolly.

This was a systemic failure, and it’s gonna get ugly far beyond the tragedy of Halyna Hutchins and her family.

Holy shit this is going to ROIL the industry

So it wasn’t merely an accident, it was the culmination of a long sequence of negligence and fuckery resulting from shitty management. Two prior misfires shows a clear pattern of negligence, as does crew members walking off in protest over their repeated safety concerns being ignored. I dunno how the labour laws will

yeah he’s a producer and his production company is the first one listed and he’s the star. he definitely had significant pull on that set. gun misfired three times, union crew walks off, baldwin knows that shit and has influence.

He’s a producer on the film (the question remains how much of an active producer he was, but this is still ultimately production’s fault) and was the one who pulled the trigger. Trolls are gonna troll regardless, Alec Baldwin is still a huge part of this story.

Who cares? Those assholes are going to say what they’re going to say regardless of what header image is used.

If only we could find out who produced and financed this low-budget film, who might have had some power on the set to plow through obvious safety hazards and boot the union workers out. Guess we may never know!

That too. I think people are just reaching for excuses to be bitchy in the comments because an attractive woman dared to admit to being intelligent and it made them feel insecure and they don’t want to unpack that.

Not to mention the additional challenges dealing with the Weinsteins of the world...I often wonder how different Hollywood would look if women didn’t have to tolerate sexual advances from directors or producers to get roles.

I liked her version of Emma. She played the character exactly as I imagined her when I read the book.

I find it weird to judge actors for the quality of the movies they appear in when they have so little control over that. Like everyone else, they take on work that fits their schedule and pays decently. They aren’t involved in the editing, production or anything else that makes the final product good or bad. She’s had

What? Underworld is amazing (until Rise of the Lycans, that is shit). I’m 99% sure I didn’t see Click because even the trailers looked awful.

This needs to be said, no matter who gets offended by it:

This. I get that we’re all trying not to replicate the Britney, Paris, Lindsay, {insert damaged white woman here} bullying of the early 2000s but coming after Jamie is not that.

If it eats into contributions from more significant sources, how would it make sense to potentially lose those other contributions in order to get an unspecified cut of book sales by Britney Spear’s distinctly not famous and not an author sister?

To say I love her diminishes the feelings I have for her. Without hyperbole, I will say that Nanette changed my entire life and how I live in the world. I respect and admire her so much.

BORING.

This sound like something a Ghost would say to throw us off.
