I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. I'm not condoning the actions of the filmmakers, mind you, but Heaven's Gate is an underrated film that is already unfairly maligned enough without people like yourself who have never seen the film speaking poorly of it.

Can anyone see the difference between 'Humanely killing an animal for food under sterile conditions' and 'Killing an animal INHUMANELY to appease the inflated ego of a a two bit director intent on sucking up as much studio money as he canfor his art?'
Anyone? -

Let me guess.
STERILE CONDITIONS: Conditions preventing HUMANS from being exposed to any possibly harmful (to HUMANS) bacteria which were released as a result of the DEATH of an ANIMAL.
HUMANELY: According to terms that HUMANS have agreed on to be not cruel so they can KILL an ANIMAL and not feel bad about it. I guess it's meant to replace the phrase "slaughtered like an animal"?
Phuck the bio industry. I respect anyone's choice if they choose to eat meat, I myself haven't touched it in 4 and a half years. -

Wow, brilliant logic! You base your moral compass on what wild animals do? OK So why aren't you eating your children alive? Crapping in the woods? Cleaning your testicles with your tongue? Tearing out your neighbor's throat with your bare teeth to claim his wife? Consuming raw feces?
Oh, wait, you don't do those things? Why then do you justify your diet on the same criteria? I was under the insane impression that humans have a larger brain capacity and an ability to empathize and understand external pain. Odd.
Let me guess your reasoning: convenience, gastronomic preference, and a disdain for moral responsibility. Much easier to blame than to own up to consistency. If the dog does it, so will I! -

Yes, I can. I'm one of those "crazy people who care about animal's rights". I see the difference between these pretentious and self-centered directors and humane slaughter (not that I'm a fan, but their is a marked distinction), just know that humane slaughter takes on a different meaning in factory farming vs. local farms if you do care.
Killig for art, fun, or testing out a new shaving cream scent is just plain mean. -

"Any of you vegans? No? Then shut the hell up."
Why, yes, I am. Do you have a followup question, captain meaningless?
I have one for you: does it make animal abuse scenes less horrific if an audience eats meat? No? Then shut the hell up.
(Hate to break it to you, but hypocrisy doesn't actually affect the merit of an argument. You're employing something called ad hominem tu quoque.) -

according to a reputable source "on the set of the mega-flop Heaven's Gatewhere the production crew apparently decapitated chickens, held cockfights, and blew up a horsewhich prompted industry groups to strike a deal with the AHA"
"BLEW UP A HORSE"
any one who supports a movie that subjects animals to that kind of cruelty is sick.
What source? I suppose we should just take your word its reputable? How can you not reveal your source and then tell us if we don't agree with you WE'RE sick?
