If we are to eat meat, then killing animals is the price.

I stand corrected! Killing animals is GOOD! :-) Still, I do think it is wrong to bait deer. Fight fair!

We also have an overpopulation of deer and many of them are very tame. At the state parks in North Georgia, they are so tame they walk up to your car and you can feed them by hand. Or shoot them in the head. I guess I have never been to an animal murderer's warehouse and had no idea how it has risen to almost a fetish-like environment. And the stuff is SO overpriced! We were looking for walkie talkies that had an 18 mile range. The camoflage ones at the Bargain Barn were @150, but the non-camo ones, same walkies, were under $100 at Best Buys.

But I still think that dressing your toddler up in camoflage, which makes it easier to lose them in the woods, not to mention possibly getting shot by Dick Cheney or whomever, seems to be a bad idea...

Last week was the first day of hunting season, and the first accidental shooting of a hunter by his friend.  The friend just didn't see the other guy in the bushes when he shot at "what he thought was a deer".

I'm sure there would be many votes that say taking a toddler dressed in "cammies" into the woods during hunting season should be chargeable child endangerment.

Wow - just think:

That would be a busy campaign time!

Weather continues to be very cool. The clouds have never rolled by (a Jerome Kern non-reference), and it's looking like it might rain again.

I watched the documentary on the first DANTE'S COVE disc. I'm glad I watched the first episode before I watched this feature because they basically told the entire story of the first 90 minute episode complete with clips, etc.

I'm assuming this was done as a featurette for the Here! network, but they gave their entire show away with this information. Anyway, it was nice to see some behind-the-scenes glimpses of the filming, and some of the actors who are playing gay and who are actually out in real life was nice to know, too, since it seems these days, these roles go to straight actors who can be "brave" to play a gay role.

Then I watched the second episode, this one about 110 minutes. Very easy to get involved with the characters and their relationships, but the writing continues to be the weak link of the production. The plotting is really rudimentary.

But the gorgeous men do kind of make up for it, at least partly.

Next came ON DANGEROUS GROUND. I had never seen this, so I had no idea what to expect.

It began as a kind of DETECTIVE STORY slice-of-police-life. Then it segued into a manhunt for an escaped killer, and finally turned melodrama when Ida Lupino entered the film as a blind woman with information about the killer.

Robert Ryan, Ed Begley, and Ward Bond were the name stars of the film, and they're all just fine, but I can't say that I particuarly loved the picture.

Nice Warners transfer with just a few spots late in the picture with print damage.

So, to lighten the mood, I put in THE PIRATE. Instead of the laserdisc, I put in the DVD-R I burned from a TCM broadcast. It's certainly sharp as a tack (much sharper than the laserdisc), but the color just isn't the deeply rich Technicolor that the laserdisc has.

Thinking of George:

Sympathy for the cannibals
Quote
By Nathan Lee, New York Times

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING
…
HOW MANY chainsaw massacres can one state possibly contain? One more, at least, from the look of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning," a prequel to a remake of the 1974 film that spawned numerous sequels and numberless copycats.

There's more to come, no doubt, given the bloodlust for torture and indifference to depravity characteristic of contemporary horror films. Every era gets the scare pictures it deserves, and there is nothing more unsettling in this orgy of hate than its overwhelming stench of corporate nihilism.

Written by Sheldon Turner and directed by Jonathan Liebesman, "The Beginning" mindlessly repeats the archetypal "Chainsaw" scenario. Four hotties (Taylor Handley, Matt Bomer, Jordana Brewster, Diora Baird) venture into backwoods Texas and are set upon by a clan of psychopathic cannibal hillbillies.

The sick twist is that while the youngsters ostensibly function as an audience surrogate (who wouldn't want to be that sexy and avoid being disemboweled?), the movie's real sympathies lie with that clan, the Hewitts. The film delights in exploring their iconography. Where did Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski) get his flesh mask, and how did he come to select his signature power tool? What's the back story of Officer Hoyt (R. Lee Ermey), and why does he eat people?

The answers are beside the point. The movie exists to brutalize. Where, in "The Passion of the Christ," Mel Gibson tried to turn atrocity into spiritual catharsis, the producers of "The Beginning" merely package it, sell it to the masses and hope they don't vomit in their nachos.

Bon appitite visionnement

Nope, wasn't aware I had done that at all. Definitely DANTE'S COVE. I love Pierce, but I don't remember anything homoerotic about DANTE'S PEAK.
