Alec Baldwin is in New Mexico filming the movie Rust, which is a Western. As with old school Westerns, the actors use guns for the scenes. Yesterday, Baldwin was handed a prop gun that he thought was filled with blanks. Somehow, the gun went off, killing Director of Photography Halyna Hutchins, 42, and inuring Director Joel Souza, 48, according to Santa Fe New Mexican.
That is the very basics because we don’t know what happened.
Conservatives are blaming Baldwin for the accident and say he should be charged with murder. But he did not load the gun. He did not know what was inside of it and what could’ve been jammed inside that could turn a blank into a bullet.
Then they are reports that the crew was overworked, with little downtime, and would have to travel at least an hour to get home every night. Therefore, they didn’t get enough sleep. Something that IATSE was supposed to eliminate with the new contract and didn’t.
But we don’t know if the person responsible for the prop gun was tired and missed something. We just don’t know the details.
When Brandon Lee died on the set of The Crow, people assumed there was live ammunition in the prop gun. There was not. The gun was full of blanks, but there was a cartridge that was accidentally left inside, turning the blank into a bullet.
That is why I keep saying we need to wait to find out what happened before we throw the blame around. There are so many factors that played into yesterday’s accident, so let’s wait before we become judge, jury, and executioner like they did in the Old West.
Let’s pray for Hutchins husband and son. Let’s pray for Souza. Let’s pray for Baldwin. Let’s pray from the person who was in charge of the gun. Let’s pray for everyone who was on the set. Because none of them will ever be the same.
I seriously don’t understand how in the year 2021 we are still using guns with blanks. Why can’t they just CGI the effect of a gun going off?
Peacock tells the true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson). He is known as Dr. Death for a reason. That reason is the surgeon has killed or maimed over 30 of his patients. They went to him because they thought he could cure them, but he makes them a lot worse.
When neurosurgeon Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby (Christian Slater) find out about him, they decide to do everything in their power to stop him. However, there are going to be a lot of obstacles that will try to stop them. So along with Dallas prosecutor Michelle Shughart (AnnaSophia Robb), they will build a case against Dr. Death.
Will they win when they finally have their day in court? You will just have to stream the 8-part series to find out.
The first four episodes start off slow, but stick with the series because it picks in up in episode five and never slows down again.
The only other complaint I have is I think Slater and Jackson should have switched roles. Slater is just better at playing narcissists and sociopaths.
Other than that, I was intrigued to find how doctors can get literall6y away with murder.
It is the summer; there is nothing else to watch. So why not watch something that will keep you captivated.
Yesterday was the premiere for The Boss Baby: Family Business, and Alec Baldwin, the voice of The Boss Baby, turned it into family business. That is because he brought his wife Hilaria and all six of their children Carmen Gabriela, 7½, Rafael Thomas, 6, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 4½, Romeo Alejandro David, 3, Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, 9 months, and María Lucía Victoria, 3 months with him.
If you are going to walk the red carpet, then you need to dress appropriately. Therefore, they all dressed up in black suits with matching ties and briefcases, just like Boss Baby.
The animated sequel will be in theaters and streaming on Peacock starting July 2nd.
Hilaria Baldwin shared some shocking news today. She and Alec Baldwin welcomed their 6th child together. Why is that so shocking? That is because she welcomed baby #5 on September 8, 2020. That is a week short of six months.
How did baby #6 come into this World? We do not know. It is very rare, but a woman can get pregnant while being pregnant. Is that the case? Was it born via surrogate? Is it adopted? They have yet to say anything other than that Alec Baldwin is now the father of seven children. We also do not know the sex or its name.
Be prepared to see Baldwin doing anything and everything to earn a buck because he is going to need the money. It is not easy to feed and clothe six children under 8. His five other kids with Hilaria are Edu, 5 months, Romeo Alejandro David, 2, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 4, Rafael Thomas, 5, and daughter Carmen Gabriela, 7. Baldwin also has a daughter, Ireland, 35, with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
Will baby #7 be is lucky and last one? We will find out in a few months.
Now that Donald Trump lost the election, Alec Baldwin is finally done playing him on Saturday Night Live. Yesterday, after filming his final episode, he wrote on social media, “It’s been fun. And thanks for watching.”
I am sure he is going to miss playing “our favorite president.” That sentence is as full of truths as the ones that come out of the sore loser’s mouth every time he speaks.
