Nope, you still don't get it. What if you were PAID to be behind the wheel of that car as part of your career? Baldwin was PAID to hold an actual antique firearm as part of his career. In both analogies, the person in question is not entirely familiar with how the technology works, but trusts the guidance of professionals who are hired for their knowledge in the field. Those professionals lied to the person in question, and someone died because of it.
Again, you really think a random Joe would be inclined to launch a full inspection of the car before driving it? Have you EVER seen someone do that? "Hey, can I barrow your car to go to the grocery store real quick? First, I'll have to run a maintenance check." No, they get in and go because they're told the car is good by the owner.
To make matters worse, imagine if the professionals attempted to tamper with evidence and skew the image to make you look even more guilty than you are. Sucks? Well, that's what happened to Baldwin, as proven in court. The media bought it at first.
I have firearms too, I live in the southern USA. Baldwin is not. He's a dumb New Yorker who probably took 10-minute bullshit training courses on gun safety. That is why I take this case so seriously. I'm not a Baldwin fan and don't care for his acting all that much, but he was thrust into a situation where everyone around him was an incompetent lying stoner.
Baldwin was instructed by the director to aim the gun at the camera and fire, as some sort of POV shot. Who sits behind the camera? The DP and the director. This is why they were shot. Baldwin was not just fooling around with a gun he knew was loaded and aimed it crewmembers as a joke. He was DIRECTED to aim the gun at the DP, more or less, and fire. He was INSTRUCTED that the gun had a blank.
I'm also not sure what your "hot gun" link is supposed to prove, he also called it a "cold gun", as confirmed off-camera by the assistant armorer, moments before the gun fired. He said "who handed me a hot gun" because, well, who WOULDN'T say that?
You seem to be completely denying the fact that Baldwin is an actor, the absolute lowest on the totem pole for safety. He was handed a loaded weapon that the head armorer, assistant armorer, assistant director, and director all said was completely safe. Sure, he probably should've checked, but that isn't his job. He listened to FOUR professional safety coordinators who didn't do their job, and now he takes the blame for someone's death?
Imagine if you were driving a race car on a controlled course that FOUR other "safety professionals" told you the car was perfectly safe to drive, but then the brakes failed and you killed an innocent pedestrian. Let's assume you know NOTHING about cars and it was not your job to inspect the car's brakes. Turns out the FOUR people above you didn't even attempt to do their jobs and blatantly lied because they were lazy, arrogant, and stoned on marijuana. But then, the mainstream public says it was your job to do a full maintenance check on the vehicle, while the four people above you who shrugged the brakes off escape criticism. How would you feel? Probably guilty about the whole thing, but you'd be asking people to look into safety professionals who failed to even try.
Jason X is the best. It's fully aware of how stupid, ridiculous, and campy the whole premise is and goes head first. It's a legitimately funny horror comedy and has one of the best kills in the franchise.
Part 4, 5, and 6 all come after that one. 3 has some okay moments I guess.
The rest suck to varying levels. But there's one that is even suckier.
Jason Takes Manhattan.
I recall the episode being pretty good, but you could tell it was directed by someone without much directing experience. But I liked how he handled the main character.
And all the Reaganites who blindly hated Russia because the Republican Party told them to will now be switching sides to attack Ukraine. Funny how it all works.
I think we all did
My guess is $360 million. We shall see!
It's because Pence is a real, classical, by-the-books God-fearing conservative Republican, and he could no longer condone or stand Trump's scummy behavior.
I liked the 2nd one more for how epic and grandiose the story felt. This one was a bit more basic and by the numbers with the story, and pacing was a bit uneven. Also found it ridiculous that college dorms would be packed with partying and life on Christmas Eve...aren't all schools supposed to be closed for weeks around Christmas? But the movie was a lot of fun, great kills and great performance from the actor playing Art.
This is like the poor-man's Tarantino made by a film school dropout who refused to accept criticism from his peers or professors.
So...is he still the worst? Was Biden worse? Will Kamala be even worserer?
"One two three, yippie...yee." - Wow Platinum
Truly this film could never be appreciated by an admirer of the arts.
Just watched it again before it vanished from theaters forever. The audience was DYING with laughter, I'm talking uncontrollable wheezing laughter. We were having our own commentary tracks too; one guy in front mentioned it looked like Spy Kids, I said it looked like Shark Boy and Lava Girl, and they heard me and burst out laughing.
Many of his films have pedophilic themes or imagery:
-The Godfather has a nude 16-year-old.
-The Godfather 3 revolves around an underage girl who enters an incestuous relationship with a family member.
-Jack has a 10-year-old trapped in a 40-year-old's body who gets hit on his friend's mom and nearly gets sexytime with her.
-Megalopolis has a character framed for pedophilia but then is immediately proven innocent.
Not to mention, he defended victor salva for molesting a pre-teen, threatened the pre-teen to stay quiet, told the pre-teen that he would never work in a movie again after he went to the cops, and helped finance 3 victor salva movies. People have also said that FFC is a bit too touchy-feely with pretty young women on his set.
I'm curious to know why FFC wanted to see her nude so badly. Strange man he is.
Pretty sure Good Burger spoofs the opening dream sequence. There were a lot of films in the 90s that opened with dream sequences that ended by the character falling, and then waking up and shooting out of bed in daze.
Yep, I was conceived 20 years after this film was released, so I sadly never got the chance to see this movie in theaters. But I am a huge fan of Carpenter's work, and I would've gladly gone to see this in theaters if I had a time machine.
