Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film - My Observations
If you have ever even expressed a casual interest in the Sasquatch phenomenon - Bigfoot to his many loyal friends - then it’s a good bet you’ve watched the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Film or PGF.

Alec Baldwin in 'The Shadow' Of One Of His Most Gun Heavy Films
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!In the case of Alec Baldwin, we all know of his long time experience with firearms in movies. 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.

When 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...

What if such toxic interaction happens during a life and death mission? 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.
