In his 45 minutes of commentary director George Roy Hill explained at great length what was happening on the set in terms of the armory & explosives divisions. Great care was taken and, as I said...

Is that a question or an assumption?



No clue what you’re talking about.



You ask me a question & then ask me another question based on an answer I never gave.

Why would he treat the gun as loaded when he was clearly told that it was a “cold gun”? We’ve been over this ad nauseam. The armorer is in charge of gun safety!

I just re-watched Butch Cassidy &...

Not quite the same thing. You, hypothetically, shoot & kill your friend. Nothing is in dispute.

In the case at hand, that’s not at all what is happening. So far as I know not a single person has...

This “duty” will have to be proven in court. Simply because the plaintiff (in this case) states Baldwin had such a “duty” doesn’t mean it’s so. Do they have documents that support this signed by...

Guessing it’s hard for some attorneys not to leap onto the tv stage.

I guess it could taint a possible jury pool to see this on tv, but, what can you do? Embargo all print & tv footage until the...

I was gonna say something like your kids comment & invoke Princess Diana, but decided against it.

If anything good comes out of this, it will be a sea change in how a film crew handles the armory.

Do we know this armorer was licensed? Turns out it takes only 2 months to get an FFL license so it’s not rocket science apparently.

Not to split hairs, but Jinnistan posted that a gun without live ammo is harmless. He didn’t say an “empty gun” is harmless.

But you said earlier that a gun without live ammo does no harm. You’re very confusing.

I don’t think that’s true. From what I’ve read this month, a gun with fake ammo can also cause injury if not properly used.
