  1. that's the crazy thing. they're acting like he wasn't supposed to check it, but thought he was an expert and checked it anyway, and then accidentally killed somebody. that would make this a much bigger deal, and all the people who hate him because reasons could at least have a decent case to blame him. but the opposite happened. my actor buddies all said if they were handed a gun and then starting checking it, they wouldn't be holding it for very much longer.
  2. you posted the article. you did your duty. the thread police will rest easy tonight. then you shared your thoughts: it was a movie set. you could've just stopped there. nobody cares that he lied, and it's impossible to prove that he did. when he was asked if he wanted to check the gun himself, the correct answer is always "no". it's not his job to check the gun.
  3. maybe read this thread and the other thread so you can learn all about your wrongness.
  4. https://x.com/tentyquarantino/status/1691952187436409053?s=46&t=3e1k7pUZVwdZrnRGFTLsPA x is so dumb.
  5. also 4.5 back of best record in the al, if you're into that type of thing.
  6. they shouldn't have brought detmers out for the 8th, but i guess that's what you do when your season is over.
  7. it happened with balt and laa and is happening again with seattle. we're missing castillo (tonight) and kirby (tomorrow). kirby has been especially nasty lately. gotta take advantage.
  8. we won his last start 11-3 but not sure about 12 and also not sure it matters. he struggled to get through the 5th and got rewarded with an offensive outburst. it all evens out.
  9. i know we're up 5-0, but dubon has to have better situational awareness with 2 outs. getting to 3rd is not important. you gotta clear maldonado. it's the little things.
  10. i read a script years ago of a show that didn't go, and there was a back and forth that stuck with me, mostly because it sounds like a joke i would've written. essentially it was someone bemoaning the state of tv/film and he said something like, "i'll toil away on this project for months, but don't go there will be the script that sells." and the other person responds, "actually david fincher set up don't go there at fox. it's supposed to be sick."
  11. can't carry a tune. i don't know how to shoot a basketball and my handwriting is, uh, barely legible. but i don't miss.
  12. i'm fine with singleton, at least while abreu is out. but he doesn't hit lefties like tucker and yordan. duh. it was just the spot where you have to ph and get the guys over. if for no other reason than to clear meyers. you gotta tie the game when the first 2 guys get on.
  13. cool cool. now at least we'll have 8-9-1 vs robertson.
  14. loving the singleton story, but this feels like a dubon ph + sac bunt. would love to be wrong.
  15. what was the avg exit velo that inning?
  16. all movies and tv shows based on real life stories are embellished, fictionalized, or dramatized. do you know why? because most of the time real life is not nearly as interesting. not only that, but the people who lived the stories are not the ones making the final say in how their stories are presented. unless you're spielberg i guess, but it took him 60 years to make a movie about himself. crossed the line lol.
  17. that was the deep deuce to which i was referring.
  18. though the guilds cover both, this is much more of a tv issue. there's more and more tv shows coming out and fewer and fewer movies coming to the theater. way of the world. well they wouldn't pay residuals and aren't. that's the whole point. they'll have to redesign it moving forward. if they're able to work in residuals or higher up-front rates, they'll have to give something up, just like in any negotiation. to use your seinfeld example, what would likely have to happen is nbc (it's actually sony, but whatever) would figure out all their additional costs, and then charge $525mm instead. don't kid yourself - either way the $ is coming from netflix.
  19. the rays are in some pretty deep deuce. they are .500 since mid may and have lost all their best players. wouldn't surprise me if they miss the postseason. meanwhile, the m's are once again going to have some huge games with us down the stretch. i look forward to the tweets. separately, i am nervous about framber. since the asb he has been hammered dogshit other than the whole no-hitter thing. he has a qs in 2/7 going back before that. if he can't get it together for miami tomorrow, i'm not sure what the answer is. kinda crazy to think we have a solid six-man rotation right now without hearing the names blanco or mccullers. that said, we're not doing shit in the postseason unless framber and javier fucking find it.
  20. there's definitely some overlap in the music business. to use a song to sell something or in a movie/tv show, you need permission and you need to pay someone to do it most likely. much like showbiz, things are constantly changing, and 1995 didn't look like 2005 in the music business. same with 2015 and i'm sure 2025. but at the same time, either musicians (or song owners) are compensated or they're not. they shouldn't be on one distribution stream but not the others. it should be comparable. the other side for music, and why it's probably not a fair comp, is that plenty of musicians are ok with their songs being streamed for free, because that can build a band's following and they can make money selling songs/albums and on tour, merch, whatever. if patrick adams gets super popular right now because of the reemergence of suits, it's not like he's gonna sell out madison square garden with his one-man show. i don't know much about how musicians/bands get paid out, but i would assume the more something gets streamed on spotify/pandora/watched on youtube, the more $ they get, right?
