By re-living their pivotal last days, we’ll come to understand what happened to the victims and why in Dateline: The Last Day."

New Mexico SAG-AFTRA message from local President Marc Comstock

Dear Roscoe (SAG-AFTRA member),

(SAG-AFTRA photo 2022.). 

"It's been a little while, and I just wanted to touch base with all of you and let you know that despite our current limitations on having in-person meetings and events, your New Mexico Local Board is still active and working on your behalf! We currently have representatives on the New Mexico Federation of Labor Executive Board and the Governor’s Council on Film and Media Industries, and we regularly engage with the New Mexico Film Office, IATSE Local 480, Teamsters Local 492 and other film, labor and media groups to ensure that your needs and interests are addressed."

"Our industry moves at a very fast pace, and it doesn't matter if you are in the City of Angels or the Land of Enchantment. Our goal is to keep our members informed and in the loop. The website and the SAG-AFTRA member mobile app are two tools that our members can use 24/7. If you don't already have the app, it’s easy to download to any smartphone."

"We try our best to keep it current, do updates as they happen and, of course, list upcoming events, legislative activity and local-specific industry news. The union is still in resource-conservation mode due to COVID, but as the numbers continue to decrease, we are getting closer to having in-person events, something I know our board and members have missed. Zoom will never top mingling and connecting in person."

"As New Mexico Local members know, we are getting busier and busier each year. Our union knows that having a safe workplace is critical. Did you know we have a SAG-AFTRA set relations rep that visits our sets roughly every other week. This set rep checks in on all aspects of set life so our members can focus on doing their job."

"We have a lot of exciting projects and opportunities coming our way, so buckle up and get ready for our busiest year to date!"

See you on set.

Michael Bay & 'Ambulance' is great thrill ride

AMBULANCE distributed by UNIVERSAL PICTURES. This is directed by Michael Bay and stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Eiza González. It opened in movie theaters on Friday April 8, 2022. The foreign box office has already totalled $19 million. The production budget climbed to $40 million. 

I went into an IMAX theater to watch this and had a great time. I bought my big gulp drink and a bucket of buttered popcorn.... It was non-stop action for at least 2-hours. 

Do me a big favor and don't watch any reviews of the film on You-Tube. Good Grief - Why watch someone criticize it for 30 minutes or more?

I saw the movie trailer for IMAX and decided right then to watch it inside a movie theater. I didn't want to be influenced by some long-winded critic.

1980 Mystery 'Dressed to Kill' with Brian De Palma who pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock

DRESSED TO KILL from FILMWAYS PICTURES (1980). It was directed by Brian De Palma and stars Angie Dickinson, Michael Caine and Nancy Allen. The production budget climbed to $6.5 million. It grabbed $31.9 million at the U.S. box office and was considered a hit. 

Angie Dickinson claimed that she was hesitant at first to play Kate Miller. She just came off of the successful TV series, "Police Woman" (1974-78). Millions of Americans knew her as Sgt. "Pepper" Anderson. She was also afraid to do the full body nude scenes in the film. The director hired a body-double who was a Penthouse (nude) magazine "Pet" of the month. Dickinson relented because she also wanted to portray Kate who is so different from herself. 

"Dressed to Kill" tells the story of a house-wife named Kate Miller. She's sexually frustrated because her husband is "boring" in the bedroom. In a night dream - she is raped by a strange man in front of her husband - in the shower. 

Then one day... She flirts with a male stranger at an art museum. Without knowing his name. She gets into a taxi-cab with him. The man gives her what she had always fantasized about. Her screams of pleasure are explosive.

What Kate doesn't know is that she is being followed by a mysterious woman.

I won't give anything away.... Brian De Palma is influenced by Alfred Hitchcok. He copies Hitchcock's camera-style and suspense in this movie. It also involves a brutal murder. 

The film received the "X-Rating" by the MPAA. De Palma trimmed off the full frontal of Kate Miller in the shower to get an "R-Rating." The Director's cut adds it back in.

Classic 'Dateline' with Keith Morrison 'The Trouble on the Hill' 2009

DATELINE on NBC. The episode is called, "The Trouble on the Hill" from June 8, 2009. Keith Morrison reports.... I've been listening to classic episodes through podcasts. This segment struck me because the actual gunshots and possible killings were heard on a 911 call. NBC edited that graphic phone call for prime-time television.

A couple and their neighbor are all accomplished in their chosen professions. All had settled in a quiet mountain side at California. The couple and the elderly male seemed to get along fine. They would only spend seasonal months at these homes. Sometimes - 6 months at a time.

Then, one day.... The elderly male fixed a bridge they all use. He wanted to split the bill payment, but the couple refused. A judge ordered them to pay up. The seed of anger, hatred and fear began.

I won't give anything away.... That 911 call and those gunshots are harrowing to listen to. It didn't have to go that far - but it did.

Public Image of Will Smith takes a nose dive after Oscar 'Slap'

UPDATE: Will Smith Resigns as a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences. Friday April 1, 2022.... 5 days after physically hitting Chris Rock. 

Go to DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD for resignation letter. 

-------------------------------------------------------------

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. This will be my last post on this story.... 

It's been five days since the "Slap" heard around the world on Oscar night (3/27/22). If you have been living under a rock. Will Smith walked on stage during a live telecast and physically "slapped" Chris Rock. It was after a joke Chris made that was aimed at Will's wife - Jada Pinkett Smith. 

Here is what we know so far...,

  1. The Academy Awards organization gave Will Smith notice of "disciplinary" action against him. They will decide on April 18, 2022. Smith has 15 days to respond in writing. He may be banned, suspended and/or removed as an Academy member.
  2. The Academy claims they had asked Smith to leave the ceremony after the "slap." Smith refused.
  3. On Tuesday March 29, 2022. Will Smith had a 6-minute "zoom" call with Academy President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson. Smith apologized again and he was warned about the disciplinary action against him. The Academy's 50 board of Governors were unaware of this meeting.
  4. Will Packer was the producer of the 94th annual Oscar ceremony. He told "Goodmorning America" that Chris Rock refused to press charges against Smith. Even when LAPD were ready to escort Smith out of the building.
  5. New video surfaces with Jada Pinkett Smith laughing after the "Slap." That video is on TIK-TOK.
Within the last five days. The public image of Will Smith has taken a major "hit." So many are disagreeing with his actions on the public stage. As the news continues to unfold. His wife Jada is also being criticzed for her role along-side Will. Even though the joke was made at her expense because she has a disease called, "alopecia" It is being reported that Chris Rock didn't know she had the disease.

Even former NBA player Charles Barkley believes Will Smith is 100% wrong in this situation. (His video is below).

Here is the "Goodmorning America" interview with Oscar producer Will Packer.


Here is Charles Barkley in response to Will Smith.
