Is Armorer not a union/guild job?

Seems like that’s a maybe (emphasis mine):

As of 2021, when Helyna Hutchins was killed by a gun believed to be unloaded, the Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee’s guidelines stressed that blanks can kill, that all firearms were to be treated as loaded and that “live” ammunition was never to be brought into any set.[1][4] According to Local 44, a union that represents props masters, no members were on set when the shooting occurred.

So it appears there is a union, but they were not used in thisproduction.

I also liked these guidelines from the same article:

As of 1993, when Brandon Lee was killed by a gun believed to be loaded with blanks, the rules of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers required:[3]

  • Someone certified for the weapon in use be present at all times
  • Firearms must be checked before and after each take
  • Firearms must be cleaned daily
  • Firearms must be stored securely by the props master when not in use
  • Loaded guns must never be pointed at anyone
  • Protective clothing must be worn by everyone nearby when blanks are fired
  • If firearms are to be fired directly at the camera, a plexiglass shield must be erected
  • Only the person certified for the weapon or someone under their direct supervision may hand a weapon to an actor

That seems like the kind of list that could easily be turned into a checklist like you see in the bathroom at a Target.

I think you shop at a different Target than me. But if going to the bathroom at target involves firearms, then yeah, that makes sense.

I’ve heard things have gotten a little rough with those seeking Pokemon cards, but I was actually thinking of something like this:

I keep wondering whether the lawyers for these people are tearing their hair out, or just incompetent. They must feel like they need to do public damage control, but they really seem to be setting up for some crazy court cases.

My immediate thought as well. I don’t know what it is, but it looks like it needs to broken up into pieces and put into a steamer.

It is a Japanese Spider Crab. Their original kaiju.

Dudn’t look like there’s a whole lotta meat in its exoskeleton, tho. And we’d need a bigger shell-cracker than what the restaurants shell out.

An opportunity to manipulate one of the master manipulators of the age?

The $10m (£8m) civil case claims he coerced her into sex acts, making her work naked, and launched into “alcohol-drenched” and racist rants at work. It claims he frequently exposed himself, took Viagra “constantly” and told Noelle Dunphy satisfying his sexual demands was a job requirement.

I dunno, in this case it’s better that she wasn’t late.

At least the coffin wasn’t wasted.
