hosed up poo poo all around, the only lesson here is not to point a firearm at anything you don't intend to destroy... and if there are firearms present but no one's screaming at the top of their lungs about barrel scanning and kicking you in the head for not complying, your workplace safety sucks.

how are you supposed to film sick gunfights if nobody can point guns at eachother? idiot.

true.. true.. my bad..

but still, I'd think it safer to give a gun to a chimp than to an actor.

is there a word for when something is technically an accident but people had to deliberately make so many aggressively idiotic decisions for it to have been possible that 'accident' doesn't really do it justice

if there isn't can I suggest the word 'baldwin'

I believe that's a 'Schettino'

In Halls' case, if the statements are true, the only time I'd like to hear him say 'cold gun', is after he placed the gun against his temple and pulled the trigger.

gently caress I think I know his type and it is making me unreasonably angry.

‘Rust’ producers wrap set for shooting investigation, calling it a ‘pause’

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-10-24/rust-producers-shut-down-production-during-investigation

Producers of Alec Baldwin’s “Rust” have announced that they are going to “pause” the film production as law enforcement investigates the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

“As we go through this crisis, we have made the decision to wrap the set at least until the investigations are complete,” the producers said in an email to crew members Sunday night.

“Although our hearts are broken, and it is hard to see beyond the horizon, this is, at the moment, a pause rather than an end. The spirit that brought us all to this special place remains,” the producers said.

Production already had been halted on the set at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe since Thursday afternoon, when Baldwin, an actor and producer of the film, accidentally shot Hutchins with a prop gun while rehearsing a shoot-out scene in a wooden church. The production was on the 12th day of a 21-day film shoot.

We paused mining while we were looking for Tommy's legs down the shaft, but don't worry, the spirit that brings us all to this special place remains. In the mean time, although our hearts are broken, we are expecting you to pull double duty since coal won't mine itself. -Some rear end in a top hat

Nah, they should just replace the crew and cast with robot endoskeletons.

Also while we're at it, hook all the neural networks to the nukes, and only if they've been trained on social media.

When I saw the first headline, my black misanthropic heart told me there had to be some "interesting" circumstances that lead to a Baldwin shooting someone to death on set, in front of other people.

Have you seen a printing press? Those things are heavy as hell and prone to hardcore industrial accidents. I'd say that oral storytelling is relatively safe but only when all COVID rules are adhered to including keeping safe distances and wearing proper masks.

No no... if you talk to someone you might give them ideas and there's nothing more dangerous than to give people ideas.

The only solution clearly, is for all of us to just stop everything.. sshhh... it will all be over soon.

Seriously though, the husband could probably do a successful gofundme/whatever to sue the everliving poo poo out of this entire sorry band of ding dongs.

If this wasn't about guns there's people like Trump's failson who'd likely fund the venture out of spite.

People working 14 hour days and getting a max of 5 hours of sleep probably have impaired judgement anyway. Not to the point where they can't function at all, but they definitely aren't going to be 100% after a few weeks. Real easy for standards to slip in that situation.

I've handled firearms and explosives in those conditions barely without accidents.. but it was sort of the main thing we did and there was no plinking allowed.

Alex is also engaged in a pr strategy. Well at least between whatever firm he hired and the lawyers, he might actually have to spend some serious cash. As long as no one's at fault right?

Is it easy to inadvertently pull a trigger on a gun? I have never fired an actual gun before, but I would think that there would be a little bit of resistance that would make it obvious to the person that they are pushing their finger on a trigger? Or am I wrong in that assumption (I probably am)?

Yes. That's why you don't keep your finger there. People are clods with sausage fingers. How dumb you have to be to have it happen, depends on the make, model and actor.

There's an Archer meme that goes with this for literally no reason.
