Ed talked about this documentary at one of the LA shows I was at last fall (forgive me they all sort of blurred into one amazing trip). Anyway after he dedicated Amongst the Waves to the dolphins that night, I decided to watch this documentary. It was eye opening and very well done..... definately deserved the Oscar ..... if you havent seen this.... you should

    yeah ... it's been talked about on here ... i think there is a thread about it ...

    i've swam with dusky dolphins in their environment off the coast of the south island in New Zealand and i don't doubt that flipper committed suicide ... these animals are not only intelligent but they have a passion for life ...

    i want to see this, but i don't have it in me to watch animals suffering or being killed. i was watching 60 minutes last night and they were profiling the spanish bullfighters who are brothers. it showed them killing bulls and i had to turn it off.. i was rooting for the bulls by the way...

    i like when the bulls get them up the ass.
    its a dangerous sport anyways and its cruel, i don't mind when bullfighters die.
    i know that sounds cold but...

    Ya, it's awful. But it's a must see. I remember feeling totally repulsed with humanity at the end of this film :cry:

    Bay Cove
    A young newlywed couple (Pamela Sue Martin and Tim Matheson) moves into a remote village on an island off the coast of Massachusetts, only to find a secret coven of witches that demand they join their circle … or suffer the grisly consequences. This psychologically taut thriller co-stars Woody Harrelson, Barbara Billingsley and Jeff Conaway.

    Frankenstein vs. the Creature from Blood Cove
    William Winckler (director of cult hit The Double-D Avenger) pays homage to the era of 1940s horror films with his retro, black-and-white creature feature. Mad scientists resurrect Frankenstein's monster and also spawn a half-man, half-amphibian beast to battle terrorism. Of course, things go wrong, and the creatures start terrorizing unsuspecting humans, including scantily clad models on the beach.

    Dante's Cove Season 1
    A beach town's young denizens become enmeshed in a world of mystery and shifting romances after an insidious secret from the past emerges in this gothic gay soap opera. When Kevin Archer (Gregory Michael) opens a trap door in the Hotel Dante, he gets the surprise of his life -- and unwittingly unleashes evil forces on the community. Charlie David and Tracy Scoggins also star in this trailblazing series, which blends erotica, horror and melodrama.

    I watched that also, lets not forget they cut the ears off for the bull fighter after he stabbed it in the head. I also had to change the channel and I did not feel bad for the brothers at all. I could care less that his brother was rushed to the hospital, I say score one for the bull.

    I will watch the cove but I have to talk myself into first.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    Were humans, we grow back. Shall I kill you??? Have you seen the film? You realize there is no point to killing these animals? Right? Nice asshole comment :evil:

    If you equate the killing of human beings with the killing of dolphins there really is no helping you.

    Besides, thousands of salmon are murdered everyday and no one gives a poo about them (only cute animals win the Oscars).

    its not about the oscars, its about the senseless killing of the animals. your point about them growing back was ridiculous and as usual was an attempt to derail the thread. no response to the list i provided?

    Humans should use animals however they like by whatever means they like because the bible says so.

    i can't tell if you are being serious or sarcastic here....where in the bible does it say it is ok to slaughter thousands of animals for no apparent reason? don't give me any "humans have dominion over the earth" crap because that can me interpreted many different ways. i am asking for a specific quote here...

    sorry i should have put a rolly eye.
    i'm on your side :)

    i did a debate once in the tenth grade about animal experimentation for cosmetic purposes and that was the grand rebuttle of the other team... God made animals for humans to use, says so and so in the bible. :roll:

    Tell me something. Are you the fool that would debate a book in English class without having read it??

    Watch the fucking movie before you comment in a thread about it otherwise you look like a complete idiot. Like your post equating them to salmon. That's one of the main points in the movie, we don't eat dolphin. These are senseless killings of a VERY intelligent animal.

    Watch the movie. You may actually learn something.
