The New Mexico District Attorney, who charged the actor with involuntary manslaughter, says Baldwin is guilty of many instances of extremely reckless acts. These prosecutors say Baldwin well knows his way around movie gun play, yet when he did take time to go under minimal training for his movie Rust, he was distracted by talking to his family members on his cell phone during this training.

Sci-Fi Guy'A Flash Of Beauty: Bigfoot Revealed' - Best Sasquatch Documentary EverWhen I find a truly satisfying film, I love sharing it with friends and family. The subject of Bigfoot - to our Native Americans, Sasquatch - has always been a fascinating one for me, ever since early childhood. After being introduced to so fascinating a concept - a species of huge, hairy Wildmen living in the wilderness - at so young an age, perhaps you’ve no choice but to then be slightly obsessed with the Squatch and his Squatchery. As for the number of Bigfoot films I’ve seen, trust me, it’s probably way too many. So, after...

Say, while trying to complete a dangerous Starfleet mission… Bad crew behavior occurring on any vessel can start right off at the top. Bad leadership, sadly, often makes it happen.
