I don't even think they need prop guns on major budget sets anymore. CGI that sh*t.

Exactly! Wtf! Granted, this was apparently super low budget.

All right, admittedly I'm thick as ****e, but I don't get it with Batty's picture. Seems to be a guy maybe getting sick at the side of the road (bending over, looking down, something anyway) while a car flies by. What's so sick about that. Explain to the oldie please and use small words you can still find in the OED.

That's literally Alec Baldwin after he killed that guy.

I really can't believe this news story. Apparently the American film industry needs help in solving this unsolvable problem of people getting killed by live rounds on set so I'm offering my advice for free:

Whenever you have to use a prop gun that may or may not be filled with live rounds, instead of simply using it and trusting that most probably it doesn't have live rounds, shoot it into something other than a human being to check first. Every single time.

There. Hundreds of lives saved.

You're welcome.
