But how about the Cheetos macaroni and cheese popcorn?

is it flaming hot?

[SmashMan]

Re: Off-Topic

I never even heard of that. Just like when I was checking out and the kid told me they apparently make Cheetos macaroni and cheese. Who knew? Not me.

This is the world we live in now, and I am okay with that.

I tried the Flamin Hot one last year. Wouldn't buy it again.

It's literally flamin hot dust in noodles - not much flavor beyond "hot". Good for a few bites to get a fill of it and that was enough for me. It just didn't have the addictive quality of the actual Cheetos for whatever reason.

An actual thing, or just some "prototype"? If it's the latter, do random sports references in it.

I remember in school, for my final semester I basically "phoned it in", aka just have fun with everything. It was actually one of my best and fave semesters ever of school. But all those projects, I just had fun with all the little Easter eggs I'd add to some of the things we had to do, like in one class, it was some project using some database thing. I just threw a bunch of Easter eggs in it by making the entire database featuring TV show characters and actors as "real people".

Did anyone hear about this Alec Baldwin story?

How does that even happen??

Can't imagine people haven't but it isn't the first time something like it has happened.

I'm only just now hearing about it. I unplug from this kind of stuff all the time. Normally I hear about these kinds of things first on OS.

I'm just confused how it does happen and not have it be an accident. Like how is any sort of projectile on set? I figured they always fire blanks.

I was reading an article earlier where there is supposed to be someone on at nowadays super checking to make sure the guns are set up right and that the expectation is when it is handed over to the actor/actress, it is ready to go.

Someone extremely dropped the ball behind the scenes and I would expect them to lose their job.

The only other high profile actor involved in one I can think of is Brandon Lee on the Crow.

That scenario can make a little more sense, but shooting a DP probably means he wasn't point blank of the person. At the very least, there is going to be a camera separating them. I have no idea what the shot was of though, of course. Sounds like the director was also injured. Perhaps from the same shot?

That must be so traumatizing for all parties involved. R.I.P. Halyna Hutchins.

Re: Off-Topic

From what I’ve heard, there were serious safety concerns leading up to the tragic event. Sounds like there was negligence at some level and it cost a person their life and another person the weight of accidentally killing a felllw human being.

Re: Off-Topic

Lose their job? Yeah, that's the least of their worries. How about criminal negligence.

Re: Off-Topic

I've always found it to to be creepy and strange that they use actual guns on set, as opposed to a completely fabricated one. Like, if I'm on a movie set I would not want someone firing a gun in my direction, blanks or not. **** that.

[Master Live 013]

Re: Off-Topic

Nah, nothing strange. Why fabricate one when you can use the real thing (realism, saving money?) safely and secure. Real guns with blanks are safely used on how many productions (films, series) each year throughout the world and something like this doesn't happen? 100? 200?

Someone ****ed up, royally.

By now everyone must be buttressing their positions. I'm sure there is a protocol for how guns are supposed to be handled in US based productions (union rules, regulations). Was protocol followed? Can't be, because we ended with a live round in the chamber. Then who broke protocol?

Union people working on set have their union lawyers, that assistant director that yelled "cold gun" has, I don't know if assistant directors have a union, so I don't who he has. And then there is Alec Baldwin.
