Alec "All Class" Baldwin Demands Court Throw Out Lawsuits of Family Members of the Woman He Shot to Death

He claims they were "distanced" from the woman he killed for years.

Probably more distanced now though, wouldn't you say, Alec?

That's not a reason to toss a lawsuit. That's an argument you can make as regards the damages to be paid out in a wrongful death lawsuit, not to dismiss the suit entirely.

Obviously they lost something here. How much? That's up to a jury to decide.

NBC News reports Baldwin said in the court filings, "The loss of a daughter and sister is undoubtedly painful in any circumstance. Yet Plaintiffs--who had been distanced from Halyna physically, financially, and emotionally for years before her death--have no viable cause of action against Defendants."

I'm pretty sure, again, that this is a question for a jury to settle, weighing evidence about how close they were and how much companionship and financial support they lost, not for a judge to decide based on a defendant's self-interested, evidence-free assertions.

Remember Alec Baldwin's first line of defense against a negligent homicide charge? He claimed he was "friends" with the cinematographer, citing as evidence for this "friendship" that they... had dinner together.

He doesn't seem to want the family members of his "friend" to be compensated for the loss he inflicted on them.

That's not enough for a post. Here's an "Is This Something?" to fill it out.


Ben Affleck vs. William Fitner in a movie directed by Robert Rodriguez.

It's one of those movies where the script was bought because the studio thought "Wow, everyone loves superheroes! Let's do an action movie where the villain is a supervillain with powers!"

It doesn't look as exciting as I'd hope.

On the upside: The villain has a superpower, but this isn't a superhero movie. It's a thriller with a sci-fi/fantasy twist. I'm glad to see someone making a movie in that genre.

Also, I don't see any transgenders or Girlboss Strong Female Heroes in the trailer. So maybe not woke? Maybe someone in Hollywood is still interested in making money?
