[Whatever Works]

Alec Baldwin has shot and killed a cinematographer on the set of the upcoming Western movie Rust, after a prop firearm he was using in a scene discharged in a tragic accident.

I have a hard time believing the gun held live rounds. Maybe the Daily Beast is mistaken? We’ll see.

"The incident sounds like a movie plot; or a tee vee series’ episode."

Not to worry. The scenario will end up in a cop show on TV in a few weeks. It's one of the reasons I specifically don't watch police dramas, because all they do is take a news story from the week before, and turn it into a future episode. I don't want any news programs, so I certainly don't want to see the news replayed in a TV series.

I’m remined of him beating Kim Basinger and also publicly abusing his own daughter.

Seems to have woman issues.

[Salamander]

was taught that at a very young age.

Do not point a gun at anything you do not intend to kill.

Period.

"shes not an actor, wtf is he pointing it at her in the first place"

Why are they even using blanks anymore when computer graphics can add flash and smoke to any gun scene without the gun having to be loaded.

[dfwgator]

Ban Hollywood!

[LegendHasIt]

Would it be evil of me to say: “Too bad it couldn’t have been the other way around. Obnoxious bully bastard leftist.”?

[mass55th]

"I know this probably wasn't Baldwin's fault, but still, I would be okay with this ending his career."

He's suffered from alcoholism and drug addiction. Maybe he'll pull a Robin Williams.

‘shes not an actor, wtf is he pointing it at her in the first place’

That cute way of saying you like her.

[[why in the heck is flaming liberal Alec Baldwin shooting a (prop) gun?]]

Because he knows darn well that that is what sells- he knows the public want to see it- plus he’s a flaming hypocrite-

[mass55th]

"I’m remined of him beating Kim Basinger and also publicly abusing his own daughter."

Didn't he also assault a photographer at some point, and threaten others taking pictures of him?

[Bob434]

anyone that handles a prop gun should be responsible for making sure they are safe - that includes the handlers and the actors- check and double check- there are no do-overs- no respawn events-

[flaglady47]

“You really have to wonder if Baldwin had been unsuccessfully hitting on her and “pretended” to shoot her in his frustrated passion.”

You know, that’s the first thing I thought when I saw the pic of the woman that he killed showing that she was very pretty. Revenge for sexual advances made by Baldwin and his being rejected by her. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

[skr]

You’d think they could use CGI for gun fire by now.

Prayers for all concerned.

[kiryandil]

I can’t blame Baldwin, as somebody is supposed to prep these guns before using them.

I can.

ALL guns are loaded.

This anti-gun POS didn't have enough respect for the thing that he hated, and he was too arrogant and important to be bothered with gun safety that us gunners take for granted.

[eyedigress]

Maybe he can go on SNL and do a skit about it.

Exactly.

[The Duke]

Bruce Lee’s son Brandon Lee was killed by a blank.

As was early 80's actor John Eric Hexum.

All movies should be banned. If only one life can be saved.

Unpredictable things happen.

We know of his temper as he called his daughter a Fat Little Pig.
