Co-created by Simon Kinberg. Great way to ensure I will never watch your show ever

Wonder if that's an Apple+ thing, your first two paragraphs sound a lot like Foundation. It's awesome in basically every way except it's boring. Which I would say is the writing not being awesome though. I don't know how they managed to make Foundation, a book series that goes almost blisteringly fast as far as 'sci fi mostly about people sitting around talking about what they should do' can be, and cram it full of boring subplots and dedicate so much screen time to the most bland characters and minutiae. There's tons of great actors that barely get to do anything. The interesting plot hooks and cliffhangers that they take ages to get back to make watching the rest of the show in between feel like sitting through a commercial.

https://deadline.com/2021/10/abcs-the-rookie-bans-live-gunfire-on-set-fatal-rust-shooting-alec-baldwin-1234861100/ I would expect other shows to follow suit. Not only is it the right thing to do, I would expect talent to start shying away from productions the use them.

They should all just shout "Bang! Bang!" instead of firing the guns imo

Like, that couldn’t take a prop crew a day to make, right?

I mean, there's enough market out there to be a whole industry. Either spring loaded or some sort of electric haptic motor. Imagine a programmable haptic module that can be set to give you whatever level of recoil you needed.

Not to go down a rabbit hole, but since this whole thing with Rust just happened, it seems like there are a zillion airsoft firearms that use "green gas" (I guess it's lower pressure than CO2 gas or something?) to operate. They look realistic enough, are cheap, can't fire bullets, and can even eject fake "shells". It doesn't seem like there's a good reason to use actual firearms nowadays.  There, close enough--throw some fake CGI muzzle flash on it and call it a day.

It’s not mind blowing or anything but I enjoyed the first 3 episodes, especially the last one. I liked how War of their Worlds (on Starz) did a similar thing by slowly introducing things and this is maybe one episode behind the pacing for that.

Yeah the gas powered airsoft rifles have legit recoil, probably equivalent to a .22-9mm conversion if it's a bigger one. Better than nothing and they look real

Like everyone else is way more interesting. I need to catch up with it now, I had to stop watching when the paramount plus app kept loving up and doing some kind of boot loop poo poo  it is the least stable of all the streaming apps I have and has behaved like this on three devices nowEdit: HA! I got it to work again! now I can catch up on Evil too

The only way this could be true, at least in my thinking, is if this new-to-the-industry armorer is one of those gung-ho 2nd amendment at all costs kind of nuts; pretty sure debris in the barrel launched by a blank is how Brandon Lee died, and if so it seems unlikely they would be anywhere close to a movie set. Then again, it seems like the union guys walked off set due to recklessness about this particular gun that 'misfired' multiple times. Some fool using an actual movie property gun at the firing range with actual ammo just seems like the dumbest thing that shouldn't ever happen.

While all early indications are pointing to a squib fire from a “live” blank round, there have been multiple reports of actual ammunition being on the production site and the (scab) armorer doing absurd things like telling the actors to “just shoot a couple times at the landscape.”

been watching CSI Vegas and kinda likeing it.... I love that they kept most all of the production value of the original with the crazy transitions, flashback sequences, quick cuts to the CGI. it really does feel like an extension of the original series rather than a reboot. also I remembered that CSI Cyber existed and it makes me laugh

That scene excites me, it's a good wtf, I assume I will greatly appreciate it once I have the context or maybe the context won't help and that will make me like it more somehow.

Google Butt posted:if he wasn't confident in his current level of firearms safety/proficiency I think what he said is entirely reasonable It's just an interesting snap shot of things, that someone that spent a decade and a half solid using all sorts of prop guns in all sorts of situations on an almost daily basis still considers their training level practically nil. He's either humble or they really don't give people any prep work.

Chris Meloni is in the movie version of 12 Monkeys and he looks mostly the same except he has a full head of hair, which just looks weird on him.
