    And what happens after Hollywood kills puppies, I ask you. Seriously ... do you know what those people do after they kill puppies?


















    They kill kittens.

    But wouldn't you agree that the frequent portrayal of cruelty to animals without consequence doesn't help the cause?

    (I know, I know, you could make the same argument about wanton killing of people on film, but I don't give a shit about people.)

    Damn you, Meat!


    and damn that writer for mentioned "Where the Red Fern Grows." That BOOK made me bawl...can't even imagine having to watch it on the big screen. I didn't see the original movie.

  9. Best thread ever.

    I second the "damn you" for that Futurama episode. I watch that show for a few chuckles and then blam!, I'm crying like school girl because of that damn dog. Where the hell did that come from?!?!?

    Don't even get me started on My Dog Skip.

    Saddest part of The Road Warrior? Dog gets killed. Saddest part of Jurassic Park 2 (aside from blowing $8 on a crappy movie)? Dog gets eaten by dinosaur. Saddest part of Dances with Wolves? When that wolf gets killed (technically not a dog, but whatever).

    God Bless you Mr. Coyle, or Dog Bless you.

    Last New Year's, I'm driving home on the interstate. Raccoon (at least it looked like a raccoon; I saw a flash of a ringed tail) runs into traffic and I run over it. Cars all around, can't swerve or dodge or pull over. I keep going, and a couple miles later my engine light comes on.
    Damn thing busted my radiator, causing nearly $2,000 in damage. Not sure what happened to the raccoon, but personally I hope it died shivering in a ditch. Fuckabuncha raccoons.

    But, yeah, to get back on topic, killing dogs sucks. The wife won't watch a movie if they hurt an animal. I even had a hard time getting her to watch the Futurama episode after I told her what it was about.

    But it's just fine to keep killing people in movies, especially with incredible explosions and gunfire and special effects? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmkay.
