WTF are real guns or bullets doing on a set, or at least anywhere near where actors are? I can't imagine how Alec Baldwin is feeling right now, or the guys that killed either of the Lees--to say nothing of this poor lady's family. It's just insane how this could happen.

My father is a gun guy. And I think about how aggressively he'd shout at me if my unloaded .22 was pointing anywhere but straight up or down. The movie guy on set should be my dad on steroids, right? Especially, I'd think, surrounded by such liberal sorts as Alec Baldwin.

Anyway, wtf, and what a tragedy.

The gist of the nyt article I can't find anymore is that the assistant director on this shoot -the one who handed Baldwin the gun and said it was "cold", ie: empty, has a reputation for cutting corners and playing fast and loose with safety protocols. Socks to be him right now. Baldwin too since he's a producer. Sad stuff.

Watched Dune.

Liked it and all that but I need the next part. This first movie was a lot of set up and not a lot of action.

Also Jonathon Broxton aka Baron Harkonen is a bastard imo.

You might not have asked for it, but it's coming to a big screen near you:

Honestly, while I thought part 1 was good, I'd just suggest everyone wait until it's all there to watch. I don't think it stands alone as something you need to see right now. It's not like waiting cheats the storytelling either, from a source material perspective.

The whole design, performance and ambiance around that character was awesome--maybe my favorite part of the movie.

I think I’d disagree on waiting for the rest of it. Or just say say that for me I’m glad I didn’t wait. I was into this for what Vilenueve is good at - the visuals and the world and the atmosphere. I know the plot already and it’s fine, but from this I’m hoping for style over substance, because there’s nothing really groundbreaking about the story. The opposite of that would be Game of Thrones which (in the books) is a really interesting story that the show just tanked in trying to complete. We’ve seen Dune duplicated in other movies many times by this point. Just make the story and dialogue good enough to hang all these crazy, ridiculous trappings on. That’s the way I look at it.

Plus (to support your argument) I think Vilanueve was pretty adamant about this being built for the theater. So to experience it as it's intended...

Are we going to have to wait for him to wrap up other projects?
