This should be scrapped ...

If there was film or video of that moment it ought to be released to the public just to see what Baldwin's reaction was. What kind of person he really is. It could be good or it could be bad, but it would be real.

Grow up or fuck off.

Yeah, and fat dumbass americans can't even handle a gun properly. Even the supposed professionals on set who are supposed to provide and check the firearms.

You can't realy compare the two events.

As much as I enjoyed TZ, and other early Landis films, the man broke all kinds of safety regulations and child labor laws for that shot, deliberately telling the helicopter pilot to fly lower as the explosions the pilot expressed concern about wouldn't be as big as he feared, and then telling the pyrotechnician that the helicopter wouldn't fly as low as *he* had expressed concerns about and to make the explosions *bigger*, and to top it off he deliberately did not have radio communications between them in case they talked and realized how dangerous a stunt Landis was trying to pull behind their backs, *and* expected a 53 year old actor carrying two children who had never been on a film set before, to just "get out of the way" through knee-deep water in case something went wrong, which any experienced stunt man would have refused to do without major additional safety measures in place, an argument could be made that TZ *should* have been scrapped, or at least Landis's segment.

Yes, that was all one sentence. :D And that was just the highlights. At least Landis went through a nine month criminal manslaughter trial and ten years of civil litigation.

Bottom line: IMO, Landis had a better track record as a director than Baldwin has had as a producer.
