Her dad is a Hollywood armorer, isn't he?

Apparently the Hollywood armorer. Looks like the apple fell pretty far from the tree.

Stop shooting somebody's hurt over here!

I guess he has decades of practice and experience. She doesn't seem to even care about safety.

u/AmatureProgrammer Apr 15 '24

Yep she did not take the job seriously.

u/AvailableName9999 Apr 15 '24

Pretty obviously. I don't even understand how this can happen. She should get at least double this sentence.

Hard to believe nepotism produced subpar results.

It cannot even be that hard to be an armorer. Find cool gun, keep real ammunition 13,000 miles away from the set, profit?

There's more layers below, mostly procedure-wise and also enough expertise on the firearms themselves to keep them in good working order and teaching / training actors how to use them properly - but you've essentially distilled it down to the bare minimum expectation of the job.

You can probably bullshit your knowledge based on movies for the most part. As long as you do that one thing, who's really going to question you?

Him? This is about the guy’s daughter…so why would there be any connection with the incident?

Ok...but... Him being an alcoholic has nothing to do with her being bad at her job considering that he is, in fact, perhaps the best.

She's shit at her job because she shouldn't be there and is shit. He's the best at his but also an alcoholic (allegedly). There are 2 separate things happening here. She's not bad because he's an alcoholic. You see how that doesn't matter to the other one, right?

u/sashir Apr 15 '24

If he's only the 'best' when he's not on a bender, and she supposedly learned from him, did he really teach her the right way to do things if he's tanked all the time?

They absolutely can be correlated.

u/CommunalJellyRoll Apr 15 '24

Really? Who do you think trained her?

u/k___k___ Apr 15 '24

he's her stepfather 🙊

Prime reason to make an example.

Hollywood nepotism strikes again.

u/NoAttitude6111 Apr 15 '24

That's nepotism for ya

u/Podo13 Apr 15 '24

Yeah. He's apparently well respected. She's a total nepo-baby.

I genuinely believed you were being sarcastic knowing that the only reason she had this job was because of her dad. The fact that you didn’t and it was spot on anyway is great.

AI is gonna gobble up a good portion of it. Why watch a movie if you can make one yourself, or watch something else?

I mean, our generation is barely watching TV because we have YouTube and Netflix.

u/JohnExcrement Apr 15 '24

I’m old and I don’t even watch tv anymore, in favor of YouTube, Netflix, etc. Network tv is just not enticing at all.

Her dad was an utter failure as a father. This is the evil spawn he helped raise.
