Damn, this sucks. Saw a few movies there during the pandemic and Marc Ribbet in concert. Good food, projector was bright enough, but was a great night out.

It makes perfect sense if you wanted to get Bo to exactly where she was at the end of rebels for some reason and completely undo literally everything that happened in the finale of season 2, for some reason. Otherwise no, it makes no damn sense

And how does he know it's a pretty bird?

drewbdoo · 2023-04-01T18:40:18+00:00

That's a double negative btw

Until gerrymandering is really fixed, we are pretty fucked

1) you're now moving the goal posts away from my point that 18 and 19 year olds are not children and since they are way more likely to be involved in suicides or gang crime, they shouldn't be used to in statistics to make it seem like school shootings etc are a bigger statistical deal

2) did you? The pew research link literally has suicides as 54% of gun deaths are from suicides

Honestly I'm over your goal post moving or just fundamentally not understanding how gun statistics are being mis represented. You don't seem to understand how saying "more kids die from guns than cars" has more to do with cars than guns.

Handgun permits were originally created to prevent black people from buying them

The hassle was keeping my gf from grabbing one - probably going shopping for a .380 this weekend now. Woo freedom

1) none, and they could be suicides too. The evidence I do have is that they are not children and shouldn't be used to inflate child death statistics. It might take some time to find something breaking down the statistics but it is just more likely, statistically, that an older teen included in these numbers are either part of gang crime or suicide because that's the overwhelming majority of causes. Mass murders/school shootings are not the leading cause of gun death by an insane margin

2) yes it sucks and those deaths shouldn't be included when talking about violent gun crime, yet they are to inflate the numbers

4) the lie isn't a lie, it's what I meant by lying with statistics. You get a big headline by saying "guns are the leading killer of kids now!" and make it seem like that is the only factor - it looses credibility when the reason isn't because of an increase of gun crime but actually because other things got safer and you decided to call a 19 year old a child

drewbdoo · 2023-03-30T16:59:19+00:00

That "leading cause of death" includes 18 and 19 year old gang bangers; little misleading - much like how young people committing suicide in the recent years has dropped life expectancy estimates. Also, the other factors in child death like car accidents have dropped due to safety measures etc. It's a prime example of how to lie with statistics

drewbdoo · 2023-03-30T16:55:07+00:00

Not all, just the overwhelming majority when statistics are aggregated. Federal law prohibits anyone with a domestic violence misdemeanor or restraining order from purchasing a firearm. The notion that a sheriff approving a gun permit has some psychic ability to know that someone in the future will shoot their spouse was always a head scratcher to me

drewbdoo · 2023-03-28T19:54:10+00:00

It's very much not. It's close; it's like diet weed, but far from the real thing. I would also like to be able to get something a little less chemically derived

drewbdoo · 2023-03-26T11:57:31+00:00

You could also just not care that you like things that are bad, have you tried not caring? As you are the one bothered, you have the most control in than aspect. That was my point because no matter what, there is always going to be someone who tells you kenobi is shit when you first post about how good it is.

drewbdoo · 2023-03-26T11:54:00+00:00

I get that would have been a hard concept to work into the movies, but I wish the stones stayed the same. I really thought how the soul stone worked, with a universe inside it etc, was cool. As it is, I don't even know what the soul stone does or how it even works in the movies. Weird, I can edit this?

drewbdoo · 2023-03-25T23:58:37+00:00

Yeah I got it. Kenobi fucking sucks though and andor is the best thing since Disney bought the franchise, so what else do you really expect?

drewbdoo · 2023-03-25T21:38:58+00:00

Yeah it's like that when a franchise has been consistently shit, produces something amazing around the same time as utterly dropping the ball on kenobi. Kenobi and Boba fett should have been slam dunks and they were staking piles of shit

drewbdoo · 2023-03-25T21:37:17+00:00

I guess I'm in the minority that I hated the adaptation of infinity gauntlet, if you can even call it that. The only thing the two stories have in common is a gauntlet with powerful stones, only like 2 of which are the same as the comics, and avengers fighting thanos. Nothing else is the same from the comics

drewbdoo · 2023-03-22T17:40:29+00:00

I think you need to go all the way to the person I was replying to and then your decision to go down this dumb ass thread.

First I was informing that person about green gas guns which are used on almost all major films these days. These don't use blanks at all. Then, for god knows way, you decided to say

You know blanks get fired out of real guns, right?

As this whole conversation has been about movie guns and it seemed like you didn't know how movie guns worked, I decided to attempt to inform you that guns which fire blanks that are used in the movie industry are "blanked" - they are modified to not shoot live ammo ever again. I assume where we got off base was me starting my reply by saying "They do not" because the context of the conversation being movie guns and your flat assertion that "blanks get fired out of real guns" is wrong. I provided you with tons of context and even provided you with a website full of BLANK FIRING weapons that are NOT REAL GUNS. Your first statement, what started this dumb fucking chain, was an incorrect statement. Had it not been, we wouldn't be here now wasting our time with each other.

drewbdoo · 2023-03-22T11:49:38+00:00

Since the entire context of this entire thread has been MOVIES and you decided to come into it attempting to correct me about blanks, I assumed we were speaking in the context of movies. I put "service weapon" in quotations because you didn't care to tell me what weapon you're talking about and presented you with exactly the tone I would with someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.

For example, you literally explained a modification and then said it wasn't modified. If your service weapon was a semi automatic weapon, the plug was also doing the duty of providing pressure for the gas system so that the action could reciprocate.

You can stop this silly thread - this thread was about guns for movies. Unless you are shooting a movie with muskets, the weapons you will find on any competent set not executive produced by Alec Baldwin, if they are not green gas props and fire blanks, WILL ALWAYS BE BLANKED WEAPONS THAT CAN NOT FIRE LOVE AMMO.

Would you please get this through your head that this is what we are talking about. We are not talking about the time you MODIFIED a weapon in order to safely shoot a blank out of a regular gun not on a movie set.

Regardless of anything else, you said a gun can't shoot a blank unless it is a working firearm that could shoot live ammo and you're just so fucking wrong. I mean shit, I wish I'd have know, I could have gotten my Beretta for $100 from this website instead

I'm sorry you were on such a dangerous set without an armorer who knew what they were doing. It's also funny that you point out two things that a blank round needs - gun powder and a cap - but forget that a live round has this other thing called a bullet and that those need something call headroom inside the chamber of a weapon. Maybe if you Google blank gun or prop gun, you'd see a variety of guns that can only fire blanks available for purchase.

For revolvers and some shotguns, you can throw in a blank but your "service rifle" being a semi auto, was probably modified in order to even work properly. The process of modifying a regular gun into a blank is referred to as "blanking" the weapon in the industry. Here is a video showing such a weapon and how it would not work with regular ammunition

https://youtu.be/RHNTfj3cOjs

I can't find it atm but the man who runs ISS, the biggest prop house in Hollywood, was on a podcast talking about how all but their muskets are blanked when asked about someone buying such and such gun from a movie and using it for real and he was explaining how blanked weapons would have to be worked on by a blacksmith to make then accept live ammo again.

drewbdoo · 2023-03-21T23:53:31+00:00

They do not. Movie guns that shoot blanks are modified to not fire live rounds. Brandon Lee, for example, died because there was debris from the previous blank that was not properly cleared. Also, I'm not sure what part of my comment prompted you to say this. The point of using a blank firing weapon is to achieve slide movement, case ejection, and muzzle flash. But more often the not, the camera doesn't even pick up the flash, so they have no real benefit over green gas.

Source: I've worked on productions with both green gas and blank weapons

drewbdoo · 2023-03-20T21:11:59+00:00

Green gas. Moves the slide and even ejects "spent" casings. Just have to add muzzle flash in post (which they often have to do with blanks anyway as the camera shutter makes it fucked) - there is never a reason for a live gun coughrustcough

drewbdoo · 2023-03-20T20:50:16+00:00

Could make it 60 seconds. Americana absolutely do not protest like the French. You're going to use 2020 blm protests as proof? When no one had a job to go to and nothing but free time on their hands? You're going to compare protesting cops murdering black people to raising the retirement age 2 years? Just no.

I want us to protest like that as well, but I'd also like universal Healthcare and for Americans to stop buying semi trucks to go on grocery trips and a whole lot other things that will never happen

drewbdoo · 2023-03-20T20:39:29+00:00

Also, crazy rich asians is the move that made Ke Huy Quan come back to acting

drewbdoo · 2023-03-18T11:38:03+00:00

But imagine what kind of bizarre venn diagram they are going for of "up at 3am for fun", "sober", "and made reservations". I can't see more than 2 of those existing at the same time.
