Not sure what happened here, but if you work in the industry, a reminder:
Prop guns are guns. Blanks have real gunpowder in them. They can injure or kill — and they have. If you’re ever on a set where prop guns are treated without proper caution and safe handling, walk away.
p.s. They add the muzzle flashes in post now anyway, and they can even cycle the slide and add a shell ejection in VFX. Having live blanks on your set is not worth it. No show or shot is worth risking people's lives.
When I was in college, we were lucky enough to have a teacher who was REALLY good about prop gun safety. He did a demo where he hung a piece of paper from a c-stand and then fired a prop gun BESIDE it, not even pointed at the paper.
But because this prop gun had a plugged barrel, that means all the blast — 1/2 the gunpowder required to propel a bullet beyond the speed of sound — comes out the SIDE of the gun.
It blew a hole in the paper and lit it on fire.
Prop guns are guns. Full stop.
Because there are different types of prop guns, they are all dangerous in different ways. Plugged barrel guns expel the blast sideways. Unplugged guns fire a blast out off the barrel, half the force of a real round without the bullet. But that was enough to kill Jon-Erik Hexum.
And because these are, in many cases, real guns firing blank round with 1/2 or 1/4 load, they tend to jam and misfire. Which means you frequently wind up with an actor or prop master frantically trying to unjam the thing so you can keep shooting. Not a recipe for a safe set.

OH MAN so im listening to destiny and chicken’s lancelot du lac episode and mid way i decided to rewatch the actual episode…and i completely agree, bbc merlin should not have told us lancelot was a shade first. imagine believing lancelot was back and then hearing him go “if only any of us had magic, merlin” OOF cinematic masterpiece
Arthur: Mordred stabbed me and I'm dying

I'm 35 and a Cree woman I went to high school with had her tubes tied - without her knowledge or consent - when she was 21. She had two kids and wanted more, her second was a c-section and they just... tied her tubes while they had her open. She found out 4 years later when she was seeking help to conceive.
This isn't history at all, there are women all over Canada right now who have had their reproductive rights stripped due to racism.
Just a crossover between Merlin + an italian show for children + an argentine telenovela. (The bouncer is an italian singer, that stuns unwanted customers with his powerful vibrato voice!)
Don’t ask. Is better to pretend that this is normal.
Argentinian folks, that man crying, is Don Freezer!

It annoys me how a common trope on Star Trek is ‘tee hee, I’m a workaholic, I have twenty stardates of leave saved up because I never take a break’ and that’s supposed to be something we admire. Take a holiday, idiot. Especially if you’re the boss. Set a fucking example. It’s the future now and you’re better than this toxic shit.
this was so wild
Someone explain
The first sentence says 32 and 13 implying that the speaker is 32 years old and their girlfriend is 13 years old, which is both highly inappropriate and illegal. The next sentence reveals the speaker was talking about their game levels, not their ages, which is perfectly okay.
In their reply to the audience they then say they are picking her up from middle school, again implying that their girlfriend is underage, but quickly state she’s grading papers letting us know she’s a teacher, definitely an adult, and there no reason to be upset.
The rollercoaster gif portrays how switching from upset and worried to relieved in such a short period of time feels emotionally.
The next meme shows the guy panicking from misunderstanding, then feeling relieved and calm realizing the truth, only to panic over the next misunderstanding and then calm again when hearing the end.

the above explanation is followed by a picture of data from star trek with a speech bubble's tail coming out of him, implying he's the one saying all of that, which is humerous because the above text is written in a style similar to his speech patterns, and with a subject matter he would enjoy
This is the worst website ever and I love it.
Arthur, during the Fisher King quest: But why did you bring Gwaine?
Merlin: Quests with you are very stressful, so I brought my emotional support himbo.
Gwaine: :D *just happy to be with Merlin*

September 9 - It turns out not all Romance languages are very romantic, as Italian uncanonizes destiel. Misha responds, chaos ensues.
When the Italian dub to 15x18 was released, the question asked by most destiel shippers was whether Castiel's confession would be explicitly reciprocated or not. Turns out, the confession didn't even take place, at least not in the way expected. After a romantic build-up about Castiel's "one thing I really want but I know I can't have," the angel surprised everyone by saying "ti voglio bene" instead of the expected "ti amo" [full translation and the clip here].
According to various sources, "ti voglio bene" is a platonic "I love you," literally "I wish you well," as opposed to the romantic "ti amo" [x] [x] [x]. This means that destiel became officially uncanonized in Italian and has caused huge criticizm among destiel shippers.
Misha Collins released a short video on his social media in response to the dub. The video is titled "L'amore é amore in qualsiasi lingua ❤️ (Love is love in any language)" and it shows Misha saying "Ciao Italia, ti amo" - "Hello, Italy, I love you (romantic)." [x] [x] [x]
Misha is also trending on Twitter as destiel officially becomes ambiguous canon, unreciprocated canon, reciprocated canon, and non-canon all at the same time.
this doesn't surprise me as Rai aired Brokeback Mountain and censored all the gay scenes in it, just saying...
THEY
DID
WHAT??!!??!?
May I remind ya’ll of that time they tried to air an episode of how to get away with murder without the hay stuff
Is there even any movie left when you censor all the gay scenes out of Brokeback Mountain?
There’s a tornado warning out (two, technically), so of course I went for a walk outside to see if I could spot it. Never have I seen so many of my neighbors at one time, when there wasn’t a firework show or a picnic.
There was a tornado warning and a bunch of people gathered outside to set off fireworks. I wish I was kidding.
How cool would it be to shoot fireworks into a tornado?
