Before this Baldwin shooting incident, the only Baldwin I remember was the name on a piano. And I'm not sure how much it meant to my life to even remember the piano label.

I know, it's "t.hanks", but i stole the joke, it's not even mine.
Hanks lost my interest when he told salt lake city "the philedelphia story" was a love story. When it came out and was a gay love story, they said if you had said that at first you woulda not got to film it here. He just laughed at them. Sorta like making a film about hamilton in his hometown, and making a rowdy gay romp of it without telling the people, then laughing at them. artistry is one thing, deception is another.

I was expecting a sarcastic/humorous video, showing a Baldwin 'look alike' walking down mainstreet on an Old West movie set, gunning down every innocent bystander in sight...

I would but can't risk my FFL.

If Alex and whoever loaded the gun had conspired to kill her to keep her from finish making a documentary on child sex trafficking in Hollywood then yes it was murder. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

OK Sherlock, can you prove that "if" in a court of law? Nobody cares what you personally think.

I care, an interesting theory deserves exploration at least.

It did get an exploration, it was called a trial.
The whole thing was a mess. Giving orders for the half-trained, un-certified kid...er..."armorer"...orders to leave the guns out on the cart and go off and do other production jobs ("rolling cowboy cigarettes" was one early story) while a half-written scene not requiring the presence of the gun, let alone a previously unmentioned crossdraw, results in death. The smartest one in the show, aleck, had been already accused of previously plinking with live ammo with the same gun, and after the shooting was found with live ammo in pockets and ammo loops. The gal the hapless halftrained kid was working for, and the ammo supplier, both admitted to what amounts to tampering and/or disposal of evidence, but werent charged. The kid was effectively set up, compounded by her own personal errors. The amatureish handling of the whole affair by local yokels was repeatedly criticised. As for the trials, the evidence which freed aleck should have applied to free harried two-jobs hannah.
The verdict will never satisfy everybody, and the loopholes and plot complications will forever be fodder for speculation.

Only an egomaniac would've finished the film after the killing.
Baldwin surely is that.
Every time I have the misfortune of being reminded that he exists, I say a silent prayer for a dose of Karma to find him .....& soon.
I hate waiting for the decades that Karma typically seems to take to find those deserving of it.

With everybody that needs her attention, the karmic wait can seem long.
Saw a commentary elsewhere pointing out that watching this movie should be seen as a memorial to the cinematographer who died at her post. Forget Baldwin.
Not a bad thought.

Well said!
Yes I could easily beyond a reasonable doubt show that he did. Problem is is that I was not the prosecuting attorney acting for the state that the crime happened in. Not to mention, now, the double jeopardy thing getting in the way.
!I do not know what caused you to start ragging on me, but I wish you would plug it with one of those tampon tipped cigarettes you so jokingly speak of.
Helping Baldwin get rich off the death of an innocent person is not a good way to memorialize his victim. It would seem better to picket in front of the theaters with signs saying "opt out and take a knee on this one in memory of Halyna Hutchins' wrongful death".Saw a commentary elsewhere pointing out that watching this movie should be seen as a memorial to the cinematographer who died at her post. Forget Baldwin.

TTR, I wasn't really ragging on you personally. What I meant is that no one in the courtroom cares what you think about the case. Where did you attend law school?Yes I could easily beyond a reasonable doubt show that he did. Problem is is that I was not the prosecuting attorney acting for the state that the crime happened in. Not to mention, now, the double jeopardy thing getting in the way.

I did not attend any school, but I have spent many a days reading through law books as a form of entertainment. My grandpa also spent a lot of time reading law books as a guard in the prison library in Huntsville Texas. I would talk with him a lot about what he read as well.
I'm no expert but I know enough to be able to get an innocent person hung per say. All the prosecutor has to do is give a good argument of how they think it went without one shred of.evidense and sell it to the jury. Happens all the time.
Anyway Halyna Hutchins was making a documentary on child sex trafficking in Hollywood and when Alex shot and killed her the documentary was stopped. I believe the armerer was set up to take the fall. She was ordered to leave guns laid out between sets and let other people pass them around. And just how hard would it had been for Alex to have slipped a bullet from his pocket into the pistol seconds before shooting Halyna? Paint the picture just right with conviction and the jury may take it hook line and sinker.
To my credit I have gotten two seatbelt tickets dismissed. Both times I got both the county prosecutor and county judge to agree to dismiss them.

Very true. It would be another thing if all the profits and his salary were being donated to a worthy charity like St. Jude's Hospital.
Iirc, boldwhine has agreed to pay a huge bundle to the family of the deceased, and her husband took over finishing the production to be sure the money came in.
Wait for the remake.
I'm still not going to watch it as I'll have nothing to do with boosting Baldwin's ego or his bank account.
They will be some, ga-ron-tee. Ah aint one of'em, tho if i did it wouldnt cost me but the time stolen from other things; i would be the knowitall laughing at every hollywood stereotype, error, and lie.
I do a lot of that, anyway, but with, say, carey grant, he knows exactly what he is poking fun at, every moment.
If they do it soon, they could have ahnold hamming up aleck's role, he had fun (so did everybody else) in The Villian

I have to wonder what the commentator's motive was for taking that angle, and whether or not they have a financial interest in the movie or just trying to benefit Baldwin. All else aside, I love a good western, and I don't see that in this. Based on the trailer, I would be on the fence about the movie at best, the Baldwin connection pushes it into the 'no' category for me.Saw a commentary elsewhere pointing out that watching this movie should be seen as a memorial to the cinematographer who died at her post. Forget Baldwin.

I wont say no, but i wont liff a finger to chase the opportunity.
