This is the weakest Emmy line up in years. The Crown?! The final 3 seasons were utter shit. 

United Heathcare is pretty awful.

I really enjoy seeing Jimmy’s real-life growth/arc, especially compared to his former garbage co-host. 

Welcome back, Danette (which is, incidentally, my middle name!), and congratulations on the position! And welcome back to Rabin and co. Really excited to see what all this brings for AVClub.

Weclome back, Danette! Looking forward seeing you and your staff restore AVC to its proper place.

I was really sad to hear about this, though it’s obviously been coming for a long time.

Real People and its similar counterpart That’s Incredible! were must-see TV for me back in the day.

Right! They changed the rules and he DIDN’T go to jail. You are so full of shit, you have NO FUCKING IDEA if the “rules would be changed a lot more.” That’s certainly a POSSIBILITY but you keep saying shit with the kind of certainty that would put Nostradamus to shame. Knock it off.

Real People was a pretty great show in its day.

Say what you will about how diet and fitness have evolved over time, but Richard Simmons was the rare gem that actually gave a crap about actually helping folks get healthy and happy. Sweatin to the Oldies and all his videos/ specials were filled with real people who were there to get active in whatever way they could…

Nah, it’s still a bad faith argument because Wilma has no reason to point a gun at George. Alec Baldwin was making a movie. People point guns at each other all the time in movies, which is why it’s so important that live ammo not be anywhere near them. It’s not real.

But he wasn’t a gun handler. He was playing a gun handler, and the incident set off a debate about the use of real, operating guns on film sets.

“Should a guy who gets drunk and hits and kills a child be let go free because other drunks didn’t run over and kill children?”

“You make an interesting point. Should a guy who gets drunk and hits and kills a child be let go free because other drunks didn’t run over and kill children?”

Absolutely not. It’s SAG rules that the armorer and ONLY the armorer is responsible for the safety of all weapons used on set. This is to prevent the nightmare of dozens (or more) actors tampering with the weapons on the set of a movie.

It’s for the ACTORS’ safety that they’re not allowed to ‘check’ the guns in use. Do…

He wasn’t expecting the gun to fire, but had taken no measures to ensure that it was incapable of firing.

He had no reason to believe the gun wouldn’t fire. It wasn’t supposed to be loaded with live ammunition, period. The responsibility for ensuring there was no live ammo on set and in the device designed as a lethal weapon that was in perfect mechanical condition fell to the AD and the armorer, not Baldwin. SAG-AFTRA…

It’s been noted from the start that this looked like a new DA trying to make a name for herself, and seriously overreaching.

I mean, yeah, anyone following the news can point out how weak and plain weird the prosecution’s case was.

What? This has been stated on every single article about this incident since it occurred. Actors aren’t supposed to check guns. Actors are supposed to hit their mark and remember their lines, and if they do anything else, they’re probably annoying someone else who already has that job.
