I kinda digged into this film, for its style and script that are totally GAY, but when it went to the point where rats and monkeys were supposedly killed, this kinda took a disgusting turn.
Anyone knows these animals killed for real, or did the studios just used drugs to stun them?
Killing animals just for a spectacle? That'd be terrible!

OP: You using the term "gay" to describe something you consider lame makes you a complete and utter asswipe. That fact is not even debatable.
shareWell, I know a few jolly people who aren't pleased with the use of the word to mean "homosexual".

I know this is an old post I'm responding to but I've noticed over the past couple of years a fairly common thing among people, usually younger people. Homosexuality is very tolerated and accepted. It doesn't really register for many of them that this is different or in any way wrong (which is great in my opinion) but at the same time the terms "gay" or "fag" didn't come along for the ride so to speak. Those words have been kind of co-opted to mean that something or someone is lame or not cool. It's weird because if you were to sit down and listen to some teenagers talk you would think they were completely homophobic and then you'd be surprised to learn that they had lots of homosexual friends. The meaning of those words is changing and I guess this is how that happens. They didn't always mean what they do to you (or I).
Just an observation.
Curiosity was framed, ignorance killed the cat.
Totally agree. Prior to my generation gay = happy, then it was slang for homosexual for my generation. I think the new generation it typically means lame/stupid.
shareIt mentions the monkey being revived, but what about the rats? I mean, people don't really care much for them anyways (including myself, as my Dad has been in Pest Control for 25 years...) but were they killing off the rats? Or perhaps using CO2 as they did for the monkey, but leaving them be to revive themselves?
Just curious, considering that lab rats are still used for some experiments...

It is offensive to use it that way.

Don't give a rats ass about that PC stuff..If someone gets offended by every little thing, it just shows they are weak, and insecure....There is not much anyone could say off the wall that would offend me...

I always though 'gay' means something that is cheerful and fun?

lmao, are you for real? One of the most pasive movies ever made and you start a topic about animal cruelty?
If this movie is cruel to animals any western is like ... unspeakable horror.
Lmfao, animal cruelty, aaaaahahahahahahaha
Well if anything thx for making me laugh, this was funny as hell.

This thread isn't about animal cruelty at all... :/
shareThe monkey was "killed" by being placed in a large set filled with carbon dioxide. When the monkey's cage, containing oxygen was opened, it was rendered unconscious by the CO2. An Assistant director was off camera and brought a breathing apparatus to the monkey who recovered immediately.
Sort of wishing we could use this trick on the trolls in this thread.
It says in the credits that the animal handling was supervised by the Humane Society... and yeah, using "gay" to mean lame is really lame =^)
shareNot directed to jeffeastwood in any way.
One thing real quick, then I'll address this Gay Hullabaloo in another post some other time.
How can someone be interested enough in movies to join a Movie website, and yet think movie-makers routinely kill Animals in the process???
Can Aspiring filmmaker kitten5135 and others really think the AD shouts:
"OK, Take 7. Let's get another batch of rats and monkees in here to kill. And let's get it right this time people, we got a sh!t load of dead monkees and rats piling up over here. Remember, Monkees are money, so chop-chop! No, Larry, don't chop the monkey, jeez! Now were outta monkees. Well, let's just keep killing the rats."
Do you guys think they have a big line of extra Cowboys and Indians to replace the fellas they just shot down in the big gun battle? ( No, it's fake, shhhh).
Props had to make a fake dead fly for the flyswatter scene in Serial Mom. They literally would not let them hurt a fly.
Do you know what my gay daughter says if I crack a bad joke?
" Ugh, Dad, you are soo gay" Not a sexual slur, she's saying I'm corny.
GAY -- It's a floor cleaner and a dessert topping!
Now listen here, you mugs, nobody gets to say 'Meh' anymore unless you're Edward G. Robinson, see?
Even while they apparently did not kill the monkey, I do believe the rats are killed, and there is no denying they put the monkey and rats in unnecessary stress, pain and suffering.
It took some away from this movie because besides this I really liked it.
//Om\\
I agree. The animals were put under unnecessary stress. That's in itself was cruel especially just to film a scene in a movie.
