ps: nice work, Anthony Smith3👍

EDIT: when all is said and done... question 1: Demolition Man

Write an answer for the first one too.
😉

2. - Throughout the day, I'll be posting a few tasks every hour or two—maybe 4 or 5 total. The deadline for all of them is midnight tonight, so new ones start up tomorrow. After that, yesterday's answers won't count anymore; we'll just use the points from the previous day to rank everyone for the new set.

hehe, you just take one away for a wrong answer and add 3 for a right one. 🙂

3. - Every correct answer earns you 3 BODA points, while each wrong one costs you 1 point. That applies right from the start when everyone is at zero. If someone messes up then, they go into the negatives.

Demolition Man 🙂

p.s.
Anthony Smith3, here's one for you 🙏

Matthew Anderson4 said:Every animal is innocent. For me, killing one is only okay if you've got zero other choice—like self-defense or if it's literally your only way to eat. Anything else? Just pure sadism.

Not at all, and I didn't say there was a difference. Haven't seen Cannibal Holocaust yet.

Nah, actually, I only kicked off this whole debate when I replied to someone saying "meat doesn't grow on trees." It had nothing to do with this. 🤷

It's his thing, personally I don't see the issue. I kind of feel the same way—to me, a human life is worth just as much as an animal's. Don't see why it should be any different.

I guess that sounds pretty hypocritical to me. Anyway, are you a vegan, or do you also eat innocent pigs and chickens and stuff?

That’s his thing, I don't see a problem with it. I actually think along similar lines; to me, a human life is worth just as much as an animal's life. I don't see why it would be any different.

Maybe you watched a little too much Tarzan. 🤣
Besides, a human life and an animal life aren't equal, not even in a crazy world, because we have this thing called self-awareness. 😉

David Price5 said:Did I somehow miss something? Has there been a massive surge in films actually killing animals over the last few years, causing all this sudden commotion?

Nah, the only recent thing I can think of was that rooster situation in Caché that caused a whole mess too. 🙄

Not to go totally off-topic, but here are the last two movies I watched with a lot of suffering:

The Human Centipede 😍
Gurotesuk 😍

David Price5 said:If we’ve actually reached a point where killing and torturing people feels totally normalized—where we just shrug it off—but then immediately jump to outrage over hurting animals... is that really okay?

It’s one thing to oppose violence against humans or animals; I can get behind that. But moving past human life so easily is just wrong.

Honestly, that seems to be the only issue {{Susan Bailey4}} ever brings up, mmario and I guess it doesn't even deserve a debate. Maybe just go see a psychiatrist instead. 🙂

Dennis Cook78 said:Honestly, if it were up to me, I’d give all those "artists" and anyone who tortures animals a little taste of the *Hostel* treatment, but done physiologically with a Ringer infusion so they don't die too quickly. I’ve actually got enough inspiration for about 40 different movies starring them, and for every single one of those films, I’d release a trilogy—making it 40 times over, each one more original than the last. They’d end up praying for death like it was winning the lottery or watching a beautiful sunset. Ooh, the sheer pleasure of it.
And, staying on track, you guys did an amazing job listing those torture scenes; I feel like I’ve seen pretty much all of them myself.

Would you actually be capable of killing a person just because they tortured an animal? 😲 Look, your neighbor kicks a dog and you kill him... doesn't that sound a bit much, even in the slightest degree? 🙂

David Price5 said:Isn't the point of the debate

Personally, I don't have any issue with killing people, but animals killing others is just beneath the dignity of the human race.

?

I guess there isn't much to argue about here, is there? 🙂

Alexander Cruz32 said:But they killed them specifically for the movie—those actors weren't exactly starving enough to need a turtle snack, and I bet it wasn't even their first choice on the menu while filming.
I don't think you quite get the "art" angle here—there's a massive difference between killing an animal and literally starving it to death, or, you know, breaking Beagles' bones like those creeps used to do at vet schools.
Most people know animal cruelty is a serious crime here in the States, so honestly, I don't see how anyone could find that okay.

Anyway, we drifted a little too far off-topic—let's get back to the main point.

They aren't, but maybe you should ask yourself what the actual message of this film is. If all you see is violence, then I guess there's nothing I can do to help you. 🤷

I don't think you really get the whole art thing here—it isn't the same thing as killing an animal versus starving it to death, or like those cases where they used to break bones of Beagles at vet schools.

Well, it isn't the same, but if it's serving the film and the message it's trying to send, I don't really have an issue with it. One chicken or a turtle being used for art doesn't bother me much. 😉

You probably know that animal cruelty is a felony in the US, so I honestly don't see how anyone could find that normal.

Anyway, we've gone a bit too far off-topic here—let's get back to the main point.

That's why special effects exist in movies. 🙂

Alexander Cruz32 said:The real difference is you aren't gonna see someone dismember or tear apart a cow or a pig just for the sake of some movie scene.
In my book, killing animals for food is totally fine. But killing them for "art"—like that psycho who starved a dog to death in a museum recently—that’s just straight-up idiocy.

Wrong. In Cannibal Holocaust, they kill and eat that turtle. 😉
And why exactly is it a sin or idiotic to kill a chicken or a turtle for art? 🙄

Matthew Anderson4 said:Because personally, killing innocent animals isn't something you can just write off as a "need for meat." Sure, maybe 10,000 years ago, but not today when there are so many other options. And honestly, anyone claiming they have a "right" to those animals... well, I've got thoughts on that, but I won't go there.
Your comment is definitely heading in that direction.

And what defines an innocent animal anyway? To me, there's just edible and inedible 👍. And why should I care if dogs are eaten in China or dolphins in Japan, or a turtle in some movie? 🙄

Susan Bailey4 said:Directors who make movies like Cannibal Holocaust, where they actually go out and kill animals, could probably remake Hostel without feeling a shred of guilt. Honestly, seeing people get killed in a movie doesn't bother me at all, but slaughtering animals? That’s just low, even for us humans.

hehe.

I asked. Ashley Walker4Look, I know exactly what's going on here. 😉

And if you haven't noticed that user yet... Ashley Walker4 He just drags one thread after another out of the archives—total mothball territory, really. Then he just leaves these shallow comments, usually just a few letters here and there. Great, terrible, awesome, sucks, I'm with you on that.Just look at how many threads are popping up today. Started.... 🤦

By the way. Ashley Walker4
If you want to start a discussion, just use the chat topic. Or, if you're feeling creative, just try to guess the photo... I guess. 😉

Maybe you could expand on that a bit? 🙂

Look, man, that's not an anime character... ☕

I'd say Bals from Moribito - Guardian of The Sacred Spirit is the best female lead character there is. Maybe. 🙏 😍

if I say this, it’s gonna be a spoiler 😳

it might be worth it only if you're like, reaaaally impatient...
