Others post links, you post "rumors" , enough said.

My question is, why was the gun pointed at her? She isn't an actress in the film, so how did she end up getting shot along with the director?

What a freak way to die. Very shitty.

Believe he was pointing the gun at the camera - which is one of the most dangerous sequences to film. Director was probably behind her checking out the film shot.

That totally makes sense. I figured there was a valid reason I didn't think of.

Man, life is messed up sometimes.

Really good (probably the best I've read yet) breakdown here on what went wrong and whose negligence caused the accident.

I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong as new information comes to light - such as that post I linked. If Baldwin was part of the decision-making census that decided to forge ahead without properly trained crew he bears some of the responsibility for this.

Who knows at this point…it’s just crazy to think this can happen.

Spy Hard came out in 1996, I was 13. I love this movie. Watching it right now. Probably haven't seen it in at least 10 years. It's such stupid humor, I can't recommend it to others, but I'm dying laughing. Sometimes dumb humor is just what the doctor ordered.

Yes please.

The Last Duel is a pretty damn good movie.

I went in with high expectations and left slightly underwhelmed. Didnt realize it was a remake of Kurosawa's Rashomon until half way through. Which was cool. Nice surprise.

I enjoyed it, like any Ridley Scott movie the costume, set, lighting cinematography were next level artistic but when I saw Matt Damons character I saw Matt Damon, when I saw Adam Drivers character I saw Adam Driver, when I saw Ben Affleck I saw Ben Affleck.

Ridley Scott - im confused a bit by this huge surge in work hes putting in the past 5 years or so ... dudes an old man and seems like hes made more the past 5 years vs his entire career. I find most of his movies to droll on a bit but visually hes the man, and he can tell a good story.

I thought was Belfast was a little disappointing. I would like a comprehensive movie about the Troubles in Northern Ireland as it’s a fascinating situation.

Nightmare Alley was good, not great. With an ending that was lacking.

A great movie I saw recently was The Card Counter. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11196036/.

Speaking of Ridley Scott I just watched the director's cut of Blade Runner. Hard to believe that movie is 40 years old.

Last one I saw in that series was in 90 or 91, I was still in high school. It was laughably bad back then.
