Imagine that tiny pup in a house with seven undisciplined kids under 11. They are negligent pet owners as far as I’m concerned. Remember their Bengal cat that got hit by a car a few years ago because they let him out? I think he survived, but he went through painful surgery and several months of healing.

I have heard he does not live full time with her and the kids.
So he is probably his support dog.
That’s true. A few years ago I read an interview that said there was a place (maybe a guest house?) on the property where he stayed most of the time. It was his refuge from being around all his noisy young kids.
Being around him wouldn’t be any picnic either. They deserve each other.
He is pompous as heck but at least he has some type of talent.
What is she bringing to the table?
There is nothing like an old fool, for real
So true. I prefer to think of it as karma for his being a nasty, egotistical SOB for most of his life (as discussed in the early pages of this thread.) He’s with someone who can dominate him and because they have seven kids, he’s stuck with her.He is pompous as heck but at least he has some type of talent.

The trailer for Rust is out. I’m not interested enough to watch it, but I’d forgotten that the plot of the movie is about a boy who accidentally shoots and kills someone. 
He was hit by the same bullet that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The film-maker talks about his hopes for his western, his complicated feelings towards star Alec Baldwin – and why the industry hasn’t learned
He may have been able to save Rust but he had no control over what Baldwin did next. The actor attracted derision earlier this year for his ill-timed reality TV show, which showed him and his family soldiering on in extreme luxury. This paper called The Baldwins “unnecessary” and “distasteful”. Souza didn’t watch it. “I think I was busy hitting myself in the face with a frying pan that night,” he says.
Last summer, he said of Baldwin: “We’re not friends. We’re not enemies. There’s no relationship.” Today, he uses some of the same language when I ask about Gutierrez-Reed, the jailed prop armourer. “There is no relationship,” he shrugs. “I think we might have had a couple of conversations first time around. She seemed nice enough. I just feel terrible for everybody. There can be no joy taken in someone going to jail.”
Inevitably, he still goes over that October day in his head. “You think about the chain of events that started that morning. Bad decision after bad decision was made.” As the film’s writer-director, is there anything he wishes he could do over? “Talk about the butterfly effect,” he says. “I wish I never wrote the damn movie.”
Unfortunately, there are signs that the accident has done little to change the industry. “You’ll talk to people who have been on other sets and they say it’s on their minds,” says Souza. “But there’s also this feeling that it could never happen to them. They say, ‘Sometimes a hurricane lands where it lands.’”
Last year he met a veteran cinematographer who told him about a film set in Los Angeles where live ammo was recently discovered. “It had made its way from the truck and through the initial check and they only caught it at the absolute last second. He said this was a major studio shoot. He told me, ‘People aren’t changing. They all feel like you guys were just unlucky.’”

We've beat it to death, and I agree. Why was a weapon loaded, but WHYYY would an adult pick it up and aim it at someone and then pull the trigger??
That suggests to me that he had no prior experience handling a firearm. Anyone with any training would know not to do that.
I don’t know anyone that doesn’t know not to pick up a gun and aim it.
We teach our kids at a young age not to do that with their toy guns… he’s too old not to know better.
He should’ve been prosecuted imo.
I’m not sure how he goes on filming his reality show after taking a young woman’s life. I couldn’t… wouldn’t.

He handled what I assume was a prop gun in The Hunt for Red October. I wonder if the actors had any kind of training for that movie. Like a gun camp, that it sounds like a movie/series hired Thell Reed or one of his associates to run. So actors can understand/feel how real guns handle, when they are acting on set with prop guns. It came up at one of the trials or in a news story.
I just assumed he does it for the money. How many opportunities are coming his way?
