    Adding to the poignancy of Swanson’s performance in Sunset Boulevard, not only are there other old film stars in the movie including Buster Keaton as one of the “waxworks” who come to Norma Desmond’s home to play cards, but when she goes to Paramount studios thinking she is about to get a film role, she speaks with Cecil B. DeMille who is shown directing Samson and Delilah (the scenes were re-created because the shooting of that movie was already over) and he calls her “Young Fellow” which is what the real DeMille actually called Swanson when he was directing her in silent films. Then, the famous director Erich Von Stroheim’s plays Swanson’s butler (and former director) and ends up “directing” her as she descends the staircase at the end of the film.

    He’s said that he didn’t feel the same way about Batman as his character felt about Birdman. He quit doing Batman because he could see that the directing and writing were going to be shitty without Tim Burton. He turned down a ton of money and continued only taking roles that interested him for the rest of his career. To this day, having played Batman is something he’s proud of but not something that he feels defines him or his career. If it seems like he wasn’t as famous after Batman, well, he was never into acting for the fame. He follows his muse and has always had the opportunity to do so.

    Brandon Lee didn't die due to a "misfire". He died because it is believed a dummy round they were using on the set had an unfired primer... because they took *real bullets* and made them into blanks and dummy rounds. The unfired primer was enough to lodge the bullet into the barrel of the gun, and when a full load blank was inserted into the gun for a scene, it easily had enough force to fire that bullet like it was a regular round.

    Brandon Lee wasn't killed by a misfiring prop gun. I hate when people say that. And with all the would be amateur film makers out there the actual circumstances need to be told as they were. Negligence on the part of film makers led them to inadvertently create a live round in a live gun that wasn't modified to be used as a prop gun, and was being fuddled with while the on-set arms master wasn't around. A handful of live cartridges were improperly converted into what were supposed to be dummy rounds by having people who didn't know what they were doing disassemble them and remove only the gunpowder and not the primer (the little dot in the back that goes off like a snap cap and sets of the gun powder). When the not so innert dummy cartridges were put inside the not so innert prop gun, the primer in one of these rounds went off with enough force to push the bullet out of the casing and part-way through the barrel. At a later time, when the "prop" gun was being used to film a scene where it needed to fire blank rounds (cartridges with only a primer and gunpowder but no bullet.) The gun powder from the blanks propelled the bullet from the dummy rounds just like how a muzzleding fire arm from the revolutionary war would have. And since the gun didn't have a bullet catcher the way military and professional film guns would have when converted into blank firing guns, the bullet was able to travel beyond the barrel and be fired as if it were shot from a normal cartridge. That is not a misfire, accidental discharge, or even a negligent discharge. It was the negligent use of live ammunition in a live firearm.

    Not exactly. The idiot prop guy had used dummy rounds (never intended to be fired, but meant for shots where the gun was seen from the front) that were made from live rounds by pulling the bullet, dumping the powder, then putting the bullet back, not thinking about the fact that the round still had a live primer. Not lethal by itself, because the primer alone is too light to even get the bullet out of the barrel, but when someone pulled the trigger on one of the dummy rounds the primer was just enough to get the bullet stuck in the barrel (and since the bullet never left the barrel probably so quiet that no one noticed it going off). Then someone else had loaded the gun with blanks for a different scene and when the actor holding the gun fired one of the blanks at Lee, the charge in the blank was powerful enough to propel the bullet that was stuck in the barrel out of the barrel and into Lee. It was a chain of inexcusable violations of basic safety rules.

    Both my Mother and my Father passed away from Cancer. The first time I saw the movie The Shootist, I knew that John Wayne had succumbed to Cancer himself. It made the movie extremely poignant. John Wayne is quite a talented actor, and delivers some of his best performances in roles he originally Refused, such as The Shootist, The High and the Mighty, and Wake of the Red Witch.

    I'm glad that someone is finally talking about John Wayne's acting talent. True, he spent most of his career playing John Wayne, but he was an actual actor...The Shootist is a perfect example, see also The Searchers, Red River, as well as the two great films you mentioned.

    #9- That’s so tragic. I was curious about the movie because of the Ice Nine Kills song “The Crow” from their album “The Silver Screeam” an album that had songs all inspired by horror movies, as well as a cover of Micheal Jackson’s Thriller, which is basically a horror movie in music video format. Once I looked at the parental info for the movie though, my mom and I decided I wouldn’t be watching the movie as everything was a red flag. There’s lots of violence, sexual content, (including an incestious relationship between the villain and his stepsister... ew🤮) and just about every swear word you can think of. I may be 24 years old, (I’ll be turning 25 in August), but mentally I’m 10 due to being born 3 months premature.

This was a completely inexcusable safety violation - you are NEVER supposed to aim a blank firing gun at another person and pull the trigger, you aim off to the side, for just this reason. If you want to show someone lined up in the sights, you use a resin or other non-functioning gun, then switch to a different angle for the actual firing of the shot.

Like, Kirsten Dunst using her experiences with depression to do a great performance after discussing depression with the director is a totally different ballpark from what happened to Brandon (you could make do like Shelley Duvall since she *was* being driven crazy by a monstrous man)

    Brandon Lee's death was due to a blank round fires at him was imlroperly loaded and fire too close to him, not the prop gun misfiring. The Shootist is one of my alltime favorite movies, as well as my favorite John Wayne movie. When Mickie Rourke did the Boxer, it was about a boxer from Lowell, Mass, whom my brother in law was an assistanr trainer with. Not only was he portrayed in the movie, he was also a technical advisor. His father was a well known boxer, and Ronnie was a Golden Gloves champion. Great movie...

Until few mos later when Brandon's Mom&sister gave him their blessing to do so if he wanted? AND GIVE ANYTHING TO SEE what they originally had which was off the chart brutally hardcore nor did Proyas feel it was right being the last thing people see him in. Body doubles&effects would naturally come into to play then given that he/they reshot about 3/4 of the movie.

    A lot of people actually don't talk about depression. Several people in my life who were depressed refused to talk about it because of how they're treated by those around them. I tried to bring it up in a meeting at work after 1 coworker took a leave for depression and another lost her son. management was immediately trying to shut us all up saying there was a phone line we could call if we were depressed - which had nothing to do with the fact I was trying to address how unhealthy the work environment was. And several other people I know tried to bring it up at their jobs as reason to have sick days or time off for therapy appointments etc and were shut down by their employers. Not to men having worked once in a service for treating mental health. They were all willing to be 100% there for people with schizophrenia but acted different towards those who were suicidal and depressed. Most people in the real world avoid talking about depression. It makes zero sense especially with how prevalent it is.
