How does a loaded gun get on any movie set?  So incredibly tragic this could happen

Evidently the head armorer on set was a 24 year old who was in her first job in that role and who had expressed concerns herself that she might not be ready for that just yet. That really sucks for her. It's really hard to turn down a great opportunity even if you have concerns you might not be ready for it.

So the director for pyrotechnic who managed guns on this movie set was fired from previous job because cold gun randomly went off and injured multiple people.  This director was known in the industry to be very reckless and many people refuse to hire him.  Sounds like he will be the one to get charged.  Repeat offender too.

Again, fug Alec Baldwin.  Don't care as much about him.  But he does play a large role in this as a producer of the film.

Producers do a lot of "making stuff happen" in the film industry.  They know people, they hire people, they negotiate contracts, etc.  Baldwin would have been in on these negotiations, and my understanding is they cheaped out and did no go union (IATSE - professionals) for many of their contracts.  That lead to the crew walk out as well as unqualified people doing important safety jobs.

I also understand that the weapons were used for target practice earlier in the day.  I can't imagine that.  I will hulk-rage when people mess with show props, even weeks out.  If I was the armorer for this show, I would have been keeping those guns under lock and key, and I would have mad a big, flashy, dramatic exit if I found out people had been playing with my gun props.

There's noting weird about people telling stories, even with things they don't agree with.  Like I don't agree with the Nazi's, but if I had the chance to direct The Dairy of Anne Frank at a youth theatre, I'd jump on that because it's an important story for young people to learn.  It's a story, and guns or uniforms are simply props to give context and sell the audience so they can suspend their disbelief for a little while.

The more that comes out, the more I think Baldwin needs to be done.  He didn't directly kill that woman, but he set up an environment where it could more easily happen.  He, as well as the other producers, need to answer for that.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
