Damn why do they even have blanks still, with CG so advanced? you don't even need a blank.

I honestly don't know what happened. I was careful to type Alec, but somehow not careful to check that I actually did.
I knew how it was spelled, but it appears that my fingers did not comply. I tried editing, but titles they don't let you edit from the moment you post. Last edited by Baby Lee; 10-21-2021 at 09:41 PM.. |

Any firearm that has a powder charge has to be treated as a real weapon, meaning you treat it as a loaded weapon and don't ****ing point it at people.
I can't imagine this is like the Crow, where Lee was killed when a bullet had accidentally lodged in a revolver barrel and was then propelled into his body when the same gun was fired at him in a scene. But in what scene would a gun be pointed at the cinematographer? Seems more likely that Baldwin was goofing off with the gun. Also, there should be a prop guy overseeing firearms on set. I wonder where he was when this happened. |

This will be a nice distraction from the real news that's being talked about in DC

"it's cool bro, it was acting!" acting is no excuse for manslaughter. Name any other situation where the person that fires that shot doesn't get charged with something. |

I mean it literally just happened. You’d have to assume criminal charges are a very real possibility here regardless of intent.

The curse of Brandon Lee strikes again, incredibly sad
Baldwin is a caricature by now, but this isn't his fault... wow so avoidable |

Dick Cheney famously shot his hunting partner. Cheney wasn't charged with anything, for good reason. And the hunting partner actually apologized to Cheney and his family for all the inconvenience Cheney had to go through.

This happened in the 80s too. Some actor killed by a blank.

If anyone, the fault lies with whomever was responsible for gun safety on the set.
