I'm sorry to see them go, but it's probably for the best. The studio's been plagued with problems for so long now.
Hope RWBY gets finished though.

Eh, it's no Dune bucket.
What's the point of a popcorn bucket if I'm not tempted to stick my di...
Er, I mean, what? Nothing. I wasn't going to say anything!
Hello.
I remember watching Sucker Punch but I don't remember a single thing about that movie. Somehow a film about four (was it four?) hot girls in a variety of fantastic scenarios while showing ludicrous amounts of skin and performing a wide range of action scenes managed to not leave any sort of impression on me.
Me.
If that's not a sign of a failed movie, I don't know what is.
So g'on, Zack Snyder, recut your movie. Let's see if you can make it a more memorable one.

Henry Cavill is going to star in a Highlander reboot directed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick series).

I'm usually tepid about remakes but.... I think I'll give this one a shot.
I mean, I know the first one is a beloved cult classic. I love it myself. But it's honestly, objectively bad. It would be hard to do worse.
Oh wait. I've seen Highlander 2 and 3...nevermind
I retract that statementWe used to joke with Li'l Z , who shares a name with the eponymous lead, that when he had a really great hit in baseball (and that's pretty often), he needed to get on base and scream, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!". It would be nice that other people get that reference now.
(Also, he hasn't actually done it in a game yet. He's too laid back for that.)

Okay, but hear me out... what if they focus more on the awesome TV show from the 90's?I mean, I know the first one is a beloved cult classic. I love it myself. But it's honestly, objectively bad. It would be hard to do worse.

I'm cautiously optimistic. This definitely has potential to be good.

"Mom, can we have The Highlander?"
"We have The Highlander at home!"
The Highlander at home:
Maybe ur suppressing it, but we already had that... it made #2 and #3 look good.
Did you see the movie with Adrian Paul and Christopher Lambert? It's uh...something else.

It was shit. But that was more a case of being a sequel to the movie while pulling in the tv show, which is starting off on the wrong foot. I’m saying ignore the movies completely and use the tv series alone as a base.

It's bad enough that digital color grading has messed with the look of so many Blu-ray releases, compared to the theatrical and DVD releases, but now we've got AI upscaling ruining movies, too?

‘Rust’ Case Against Alec Baldwin Is Dismissed Over Withheld Evidence
The involuntary manslaughter case against Mr. Baldwin fell apart after an envelope of ammunition that the prosecution had not shown the defense was brought into the courtroom.
my friends husband is a attorney, the short sweet answer was "civilly liable as a producer, but not criminally liable as an actor" and that was good enough for me in the conversation.
My guess is that the prosecutor wanted a big case and make a name for themself and Baldwin had the biggest name.
At the very least this was manslaughter. I think he should be responsible to a degree. Not murder.
If you are cleaning your gun and it shots someone then you get charged. This shouldn't be any different.

The usual IANAL (though my sister is) but they are different scenarios. If you are cleaning a gun and it discharges and kills someone, you are the negligent party and that would indeed be manslaughter through negligence.
In the Baldwin scenario though, the question becomes who is the negligent party. Is it the actor (and producer) who fires a live gun thinking it's cold, or is it whoever was responsible for giving him a live gun and telling him it wasn't? That's what the court case was to decide.
There is a lot of reports. I’ve heard even that Baldwin was running a pretty dangerous operation by allowing people to have fun and shoot guns at targets at a different location of the set.
Could be a complete rumor though.
But if any truth to it he needs to be on trial for involuntary manslaughter.
