One Down…

“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month in the 2021 shooting death of Halyna Hutchins. [More]

Time for a new career since “prohibited persons” can’t touch guns on movie sets. Just ask Pokey Poke.

Now, what about the “gun safety advocate”?

Baldwin Indictment is Karma for Gun Prohibitionist Who Made a Point of Being Obnoxious About It

With a history of personal nastiness combined with repeated demands to lay claim to the rights of his countrymen, it’s natural that the targets of Baldwin’s obsession would see the humor in his becoming victim of his own hubris. [More]

Or as Shakespeare wrote, “Hoist with his own petard…”

Point/Counterpoint

In other news, Alec Baldwin hasn’t killed anyone since “Rust”.

That we know of. [More]

I saw these comments under an article about Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein that I was looking at for God only knows what reason and they struck me as the only thing that interested me.

And as far as the prosthetic nose thing being offensive goes, only if people are loo0king to be offended. One of my favorite movie characters of all time was Anthony Quinn as Auda Abu Tayi in Lawrence of Arabia, to the point that I use “I am a river to my people” as my standard reply to family and friends thanking me for something.

Bullet Points

I accessed an archived copy of a report about the bullet Alec Baldwin fired into Halyna Hutchins. The thoughts strike:

The shell casing from the spent round and the rest of the cartridges remained in the cylinder. Has anyone seen a report on whether they were tested for fingerprints to know for sure who inserted the live rounds?

And does anyone have the editing skills to insert Baldwin’s face in this?

Closing the Baldwin Loophole

In a major change to the way Hollywood movies and TV series are made, live ammunition will be banned from production sets under a new agreement reached by the Directors Guild of America and studios. [More]

That wasn’t already a rule?

How will they catch it if someone deliberately doesn’t comply and/or is carrying concealed?

Does it include security? And will there be an “Only Ones” exception if they have to show up again?

Sure as Shooting!

Charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his Western movie “Rust” after “new facts” surfaced in recent days, officials said Thursday. [More]

Thank goodness! Now he can get back to lecturing the rest of us on “commonsense gun safety laws”!

In the absence of evidence showing deliberate misbehavior on the part of the armorer, would it be out of line to wonder how much those “new facts” cost?

Vicious Dog Pack Turns on Master

Alec Baldwin Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting: DA’s Witness List Full Of Crew Members From Troubled Indie Western As First Court Hearing Looms In Criminal Case [More]

For some reason, I’m reminded of Harvey Weinstein.

It’s funny, how people who would have literally done anything for the power player to get a job can’t turn on him fast enough when the incentives change.

There must be a lot of suppressed frustrated hatred in that business from people trained to wear a smile.

A Noted ‘Commonsense Gun Safety Advocate

Photo and video evidence “clearly show Baldwin, multiple times, with his finger inside of the trigger guard and on the trigger,” according to the statement of probable cause submitted by prosecutors. [More]

But…but…but…

Besides, we know how important family phone calls are to him.
