YOU may piss on "C. Holo", but there are just as many people who woulld piss on a film you like and consider acceptable while screaming the same slogans of "disgusting and distasteful".

And in fact many horses used to be killed for Westerns. hence the banninig on tripping them up with ropes.
So lets slam and refuse to watch them as well.

HK films have been killing animals on film for decades, and they are still so cool and hip to johhny come lately fans.

And animals die worse deaths every day for your burgers.
Yes the animal snuff (although the turtle is actually a very fast death, they take the head off first) is very dubious and should be thought about...but that does not change the quality of the film it is in.
And a film should be judged as a whole.

And again, there are just as many 'others' out there who would vomit out venom with such power they make you look like a child...and it will be venom aiamed at a film you DO like and approve of.

The western thing bothered me as well, always has ...
If this was a forum about westerns trust me - it would have been mentioned when the question of animal cruelty comes up.
I cant stand it in any film and it bothers me enough to taint the film for me ... so it affects how i see the film as a whole.
The same way i felt about Apocolypse Now .. by the way.
Thats the one good use for CGI...

I can take fake gore ... i cant watch an animal get killed.
(and yes - i occasionally eat meat .. but i wouldnt go to the abbatoir as a source of entertainment - these arent films about the meat packing business)

I have C.H on laserdisc by the way .. I dont judge a film without seeing it. It's not all that brilliant of a film either way ..

And again, there are just as many 'others' out there who would vomit out venom with such power they make you look like a child...and it will be venom aiamed at a film you DO like and approve of.

this was a very odd thing to say ...
a little beneath you dont you think ?

I could care less if people dont agree with the films i like .. Actually I take that back .. i do care - and i enjoy it. I have enough knowledge and intelligence to get a dialogue going about it. It's not like a personal affront on me .. i didnt make the film, and I'm mature enough to realize that we all have different tastes.

I think you're a decent knowledgable contributer to the forum, I must say i'm a little suprised at how protective you are about your opinions to give such a knee-jerk reaction.
