    Feisar - ....... as in when I go to a restaurant and get something I could have done better at home. 

    Same as that. Won't say better, but the way I prefer it. No one would some things I cook simply because of how I prepare it. Plus I have misophonia so eating out has never been top of my list.

    I guess the opening 8 mins of A fistful of dynamite isn't on Cass's fav movie scene lists either.

    Not a phobia per say but faffers drive me demented, examples:


    Yer next in the que at the ATM, it shouldn't come as a surprise that you'll need for card. The amount of times that I see people get to the top of the que and start looking for their card.


    Airports, people that cannot seem to have their sh!t together going through security. Bonus points for the slack jawed idiots the far side that look gormlessly at the conveyor belt full of empty trays. I know the cúnts that didn't put their tray in the return thing need to be drowned in their own piss but get the trays out of the way so more come down!


    My extended family when out for a meal. Christ everything is a kerfuffle.


    People with zero situational awareness.

    Like bad drivers that never had an accident, its usually because the world around them makes allowances or has to do the work to prevent problems.

    If you were to go by the 4 defence conditions in a shooting situation.

    Black is the "Sht has got really real and is happening right now to your ass!" Down to Yellow. You are aware of your situation and surroundings and not preciving any threats or hostile events. We seem to have one more in Ireland...White...you are either fast asleep or dead! You have absolutely zero awareness of what's going around you. Seems 99% of us are in permanent condition White.

    One to think about!

    Anti-gun Alec Baldwin has officially killed more people with a gun than 99.999% of gun owners.

    Considering he is a rabid sanctimonious anti-gun Hollywoo star that makes his money from gun violence in movies.I really cant feel any sympathy for him.

    At the end of the day a man has shot someone dead accidentally. That's a hell of a thing. I won't even kill spiders in the house. (Herself can't understand how I can shoot a deer).

    I know zilch about making films, why would live ammo be on set? And if someone hands ya a firearm, check it yourself!

  • Registered Users Posts: 566 ✭✭✭JP22


    Accidents do happen from time to time; most actors themselves know swa about firearms so checking it for live/blank rounds prior to use is not going to happen. No live ammo should ever be on set, someone fecked up big time.

    It’s not the first case of someone being killed hurt during making a movie. Bruce Lee’s son was killed in the same way. An Irish actor was injured on stage in Waterford/Wexford years ago when a blank was fired too close to him.

    The firearms company/armourer hired to supply and oversee the use of firearms during the movie will be in serious trouble and will have many questions to answer.

    The reason for the merciless insult and mocking of him is because this slobbering, leftist of lefty liberal has spent years mocking people openly on social media for being in the exact same positition. From Liz Cheney to police officers and then using the threat of shooting those who he disagrees with politically as with Ricky Gervais.


    My point is Karma is a bitch, and had he been in the least bit tactful when others were in his position he may have gotten some sympathy, or at the very least some understanding. However things being what they are, the blame will be immediately shifted to the inanimate object, he will face no charges (not involuntary manslaughter or even reckless discharge of a firearm).

    While I can understand it if he was slobbering, that's all it was. What has happened is so out of that league it doesn't come into it and IMHO it's very crass to give him a hard time.

    Let's put the shoe on the other foot a mo...

    Do you think if say, Keanu Reeves, who is probably one of THE most proficient gun handlers in Hollywoo screwed up on this level, he would get such an easy ride from MSM and have excuses made for him as a pro-gun actor??? Like Hell...The MSM and anti-gunners would be screaming for a public lynching and we would never be hearing the end of the "Guns are bad and ban all guns!" BS non stop for weeks on end, and you can be assured the next of kin would be blaming him and not the on set armourers. Remember, there is one set of rules for them and one for us in the fantasy factory.

    @Feisar -  it's very crass to give him a hard time

    Why?

    He has a history of jumping on similar accidents and tragedies when others are involved with whom he doesn't agree with politically or morally. As I mentioned above his social media media history shows a person of vile intent with his crass, as you put it, remarks towards polticians such as Liz Cheney asking her if she had ever shot one of her friends in the face (referencing her Father's shooting accident), or calling for Ricky Gervais to be shot, then shot again, because he doesn't agree with/like him.

    How about the police shooting from a couple of years back when he asked the cop involved, sarcastically, how it feels to wrongfully kill someone (hinting the cop shot at the person for reasons other than criminality).

    My point is you cannot ask for understanding, mercy or even a degree of tact for someone who has gone out of their way to show none for others while also calling for violence towards anyone they disagree with as is the case from 2013 when he tweeted homophobic and vile threats against a reporter. He [baldwin] is a violent, unstable and vile person and calling for him to be shown some degree of compasion when he has not only never done the same but the complete opposite is farcical.

    The shooting itself is a tragedy, and one that could have/should have been avoided so its terrible that in all this that aspect is being overlooked and for my part in all that I apologise, however my first post on the matter was not intended to get into the discussion on the accident as I have nothing to say about it. My only reason for posting was in reply to your, and I use you only as you posted first, calls for him to be shown compassion.

    Had this been any other actor/actress I probably would not have commented.

    Disagree with that. As said, ad nauseum, above had Reeves, or any other actor/actress, the vile history of homophobic, violent and thratening social media posts in relation to social issues (policing, gun, poltiics) then they would have received the same. He doesn't, so wouldn't have.

    Think you got me wrong there...Yeah if Reeves with his experience was such a dislikeable creep as Baldwin, well then all bets would be off too. But I was implying more that what would the tone be in MSM if an experienced and trained firearms user like Reeve, who shoots as a hobby have had a fatal accident like this even with a prop gun?

    Meet the "armourer" of Rust... Yeah, what could ever go wrong with someone like her in charge?

    Ignore her age...Consider her maturity going by her posts to be handling firearms. Guess it isn't that well paying a gig if she is sidelining as a" Fin Domme"
