Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson vows to stop using real guns on movie sets
NY Post ^ | 11/4/21 | Yaron Steinbuch

Dwayne Johnson says he plans to only use rubber guns on all future projects.

“I can’t speak for anyone else, but I can tell you, without an absence of clarity here, that any movie that we have moving forward with Seven Bucks Productions — any movie, any television show, or anything we do or produce — we won’t use real guns at all,” Johnson told Variety.

“We’re going to switch over to rubber guns, and we’re going to take care of it in post. We’re not going to worry about the dollars. We won’t worry about what it costs,” he added.

The hulking superstar made his comments a couple of weeks after Baldwin fatally shot Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza with a .45-caliber Colt revolver

Hollywood created an environment of ever-increasing violent movies, yet they never saw themselves as part of the problem, if not the main driving factor. Idiots.

Well, I’ll just quit seeing his movies.

Wait a sec! I’ve never seen any of his movies. Now what do I do?

Zoom in on Front Zoom. Nerf Fortnite GL Blaster.

My recommendation.

Has realistic scary looking rpg rounds for effect.

Seems like a good idea. Afterall, they don’t use any real actors in his movies either.

There really is no reason to use working guns in a movie set.

Even before computer special effects, there was no reason to use working guns capable of firing live rounds. You can make prop guns that look exactly like the real thing but that can only fire blanks and that are physically incapable of chambering a live round.

With modern special effects, prop guns do not even need to be capable of firing blanks. The actor points a prop gun, someone off set says “bang” and the actor simulates the recoil from firing a gun (it’s called acting), then special effects adds the muzzle flash and bang in post production.

Here's the part of Johnson's statement that fascinates me: "... but I can tell you, without an absence of clarity here, that any movie ..." Double negatives, like the passive voice, are very interesting to me. The phrase without an absence of clarity here means, I think, "with clarity." And that prepositional phrase, in itself, is totally superfluous. Would we think that if he had not included that phrase, that we would think that his words had no clarity? Johnson takes what should be a straightforward, common-sense declaration, and gussies it up beyond almost all recognition.

“Rubber bullets too?..”

If they can’t stop real bullets on the set, why should we think they can stop real guns?

I used to enjoy watching him until he opened his mouth.

Can’t stomach him now.

Looks like he needs a bra there.

He voted for Biden, and his mental capabilities are pretty much fried.
