NEW: Oklahoma high school principal seen charging at and disarming a school shooter in footage obtained by @SHumphreyTV.
Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore is being called a hero after getting shot while stopping a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school โlike the Columbine shooters did.โ
While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover and says he is looking forward to returning to work as soon as possible.
"I look forward to returning to work as soon as possible so that I may continue my lifeโs work educating the next generation of Oklahoma leaders. Until then, my thoughts are with our outstanding students, safe today in the arms of their families and friends," he said.
Hero!
NICKELODEON WAS HACKED AND THE AVATAR: AANG MOVIE GOT STOLEN - 6 MONTHS BEFORE RELEASE
a hacker group broke in overnight.
stole the full finished film.
then posted 2 clips on Twitter to prove they have everything.
Paramount has said absolutely nothing.
> The movie took 6 years to make.
> Was supposed to hit theaters - then got quietly dumped to streaming.
> Hacker group PeggleCrew watermarked the clips as proof they hold the full film.
> Clips confirmed real. Voice acting. Full animation. The whole Gaang - grown up.
> Dave Bautista is the villain. Looks insane.
> The full movie is NOT online - hackers are keeping it as leverage against the studio.
this isn't just a leak.
it's a hostage situation.
and Paramount hasn't said a single word.
Wait is this the Fang Fang guy? The guy who attacked me from the clouds like 2 months ago? @RepSwalwell Well that was a quick demise ๐ญ I didnโt even have time to put his name on a champagne bottle before his life fell apart. At best he is a serial drunk scumbag cheater who has now been caught cheating with a Chinese spy he and with multiple of his staffers. What a guy! At worst he belongs in prison for life if the allegations are true.
๐จ#BREAKING: For the first time, the ROTC students at Old Dominion University, who BEAT THE TERR*RIST TO DEATH WITHOUT GUNS are now telling their stories.
"He sho*ts a stray, it hits me, but I thought I could keep going... I get there and just start st*bbing him, as I'm st*bbing him, other cadets jump in and we all were in a pile just holding him down."
ABSOLUTE HEROES!!!!!!
This is genuinely one of the most insane things Iโve ever seen in baseball. Robbing a homerun is hard and rare enough. Robbing two in a game is the record. But three?? One in a million chance. Take a bow, Jo Addell. #RepTheHalo
You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real.
The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later.
Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him.
Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman.
Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact.
95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.
