No, it means that it cannot be refiled. I hope my sharing of knowledge helped.

How many times do you have to be told that it’s against union rules for an actor to tamper with or open a gun on a movie set? Because you REALLY don’t want to have that nightmare, especially on a Western set where dozens of actors will be handling weapons.

That’s why they have armorers on the set in the first place -…

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…

I would argue it means the exact opposite. 

The case wasn’t dismissed because Baldwin wasn’t guilty, it was dismissed because the prosecution’s Brady violation was serious and, it appears, willful. The only way to cure the prejudice to the defense from the failure to disclose the evidence before trial was dismissal. Since jeopardy attached when the jury was…

It is not the job of actors to ensure that a prop gun that is supposed to be loaded with blanks isn’t loaded with live rounds.

“I think it also means that movie productions now have 100% immunity for actors killing people on set when there is something they could have checked but just didn’t bother to.”

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…

That last paragraph is a needlessly hyperbolic bit of bullshit.

Honestly the judge did them a favor. They were about to become a laughingstock as they tried to argue to a jury that an actor was supposed to second guess both an armorer and a set director who yelled, “cold gun”, and somehow determine, with his complete lack of knowledge about guns or ammunition, that the gun was not …

Not a fan of Baldwin (the man, that is; plenty of good performances) but...good. The suggestion that he was responsible for not doing someone else’s job was ludicrous from the beginning.

“As Spiro pointed out, the biggest question in the Rust case remains: how did actual live rounds end up on a movie set?”

“Her point is hardly legible.”

the leads may not be Little People, but blink and you miss it later...

I did not know that. Thanks. And it is not surprising that “I Think You Should Leave” was Lorne’s parting speech. Robinson (and Richardson) were brilliant on Detroiters (RIP) but ITYSL is next level side-splitting. Like Mr. Show-level.

Always thought the meaning was “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson”. Now it…

When Lorne Michaels should’ve been let go was in 2016 when he had then-candidate and fellow club denizen Donald Trump on the show. He ORDERED his cast and crew to not make fun of Trump. But then NBC was aleady in the bag for Trump with’’The Apprentice’’ and helped make him popular amongst many people outside of the…

Turns out he's real. And super crazy. His brother called him a dangerous psychopath. 

This was great, I've never seen this!

Yes! With Keanu! As the two incompetent junkie hitmen! Grand Theft Cameo...

we are dozens, I’ve heard...
