Rust Shooting: Conflicting Tales of A Tragedy Behind the Silver Screen
By: Madelynn Loring, Staff Writer
On October 21, 2021, tragedy struck the set of upcoming Western drama Rust. While rehearsing a scene, Alec Baldwin, the lead actor of the film, fired a live round from a revolver, killing award-winning cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Since then, Hollywood has been reeling from the shock of this traumatic event. The actor has reportedly been distraught, making only a few public statements about the event and complying completely with law enforcement investigations. Rust Production Studios, responsible for the production of the film, released a statement claiming that, “the safety of the cast and crew is [their] top priority,” yet conflicting stories have emerged from the set concerning the accuracy of this claim.

Those familiar with the K-drama scene will know instantly what the phrase “Second Male Lead Syndrome” entails. But for those who aren’t K-drama connoisseurs, Second Male Lead Syndrome refers to when the female lead is stuck in a love triangle with two male leads, and the viewer ends up rooting for the second male lead (the guy does not get the girl).
It’s a painful and heartbreaking experience, for both the viewer and the second male lead. So why is it such a popular trope in so many K-dramas?
Striking Twice: Avalanche Take 2 out of 3 Games
By: Maeve Hushman, Staff Writer
After coming off a rough three game stretch, the Avalanche played their last game of their east coast road trip against Tampa Bay before returning to the Ball center to play the Golden Knights, and then going on the road for an early rematch against St. Louis. They beat defending champs the Lightning in the shootout 4-3, lost to Vegas Golden Knights 3-1, and then beat the Blues 4-3 in their best game of the season.
Things to fix:
Not to sound like a broken record, but net front defense in the Tampa game: all three of the goals were scored either on the doorstep or with the assistance of a screen. It can definitely be difficult to stop fluky opportunities like the Joseph goal or Stamkos rebound but you have to try as those goals can be the difference between a win or a loss.
