    Rule 1 of holding a gun … you NEVER point it at anyone unless you mean to shoot.

    If nothing else Baldwin is at fault for being an arrogant asshole who didn’t give a shit about basic gun safety or any of his co-workers.

      … He thought it was a prop gun. Literally the whole point of a prop gun is being able to point it at people.

      Wait, maybe I’m not up to speed on the details here. But are you not pointing guns with blanks at people in movies…?

      It’s not the entire point of Cinema in that you are simulating, faking, an actual interaction?

        It’s not uncommon to point ‘off target’ in a way that is undetectable from the camera angle. Kind of like how none of the people in the action movies actually get punched.

          Most if the time they do this so well you never notice and it’s believable. But sometimes, they fuck up, and its so blatant. I always get a chuckle when that happens.
