The Colonel James is a great last role for veteran character actor and voice artist Robert Ridgely, who was rarely given much in the way of opportunities to do strong and meaty dramatic scenes like this one.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

It really is. Both of them are so good in it. The look on Jack's face…he's just devastated and horrified.

Very well acted and heartbreaking scene.

The Colonel had a stash of kiddie porn in his house.

Kids or cockatoos, he's shooting them on video, not film. That's the crime that breaks Jack's heart!

I don't think he was making child porn videos
He was just in possession of child porn.

"Bestiality" is a crime that you MUST touch the animals to commit. Watching animals have sex is not a crime. Farmers, animal husbandry workers, dog and cat owners, etc. do it every single day–and even accept money to do it. (Which, btw, is not prostitution.)
There is NO crime in breeding animals, and/or filming them while they copulate. That is NOT illegal. The Colonel says he doesn't touch them. Therefore, he is NOT committing bestiality. He is a pedophile; he either creates child pornography or consumes it (or both), and since he specifically says he "doesn't touch them," it means he is creating it–otherwise he wouldn't have to specify that he's not touching the children he's photographing or filming.
It has absolutely nothing to do with cute little animals (why would the Colonel say that little animals are "so smooth?"). The Colonel was not arrested for filming gerbils getting it on (because that is NOT a crime, and it is clearly NOT what PTA was implying anyway). Period. End of story.

"Bestiality" is a recognized crime regardless of whether you have heard of it or not.
He could be lying. He wouldn't have necessarily been touching them if it was child porn either.

How could he be committing "bestiality" if he isn't touching them?

What could be illegal about anything with animals?
Bestiality?
Gives you insight into the character so when he ultimately does get arrested you already know he's a perv.
So are you saying he wouldn't be a perv if he was just abusing animals? Weird.
A bit odd that you don't seem to realise that's illegal.
You've got people on board believing your nonsense though so congrats I guess.
Probably because some people have noticed, it's deliberately left unclear.

lol at "purposely left ambiguous"
I mean he says he never touches them, but they found stuff at his house. How would that be animals? What could be illegal about anything with animals? He got that illegal animal porn? he get arrested for owing some animals, they did some tests and found out he was raping them?
What is wrong with you people?
It's obviously child porn and they even give you an example of his ways at the pool party when he comes with the 15 year old girl. You're supposed to pick up on that. It's kind of a precursor. Gives you insight into the character so when he ultimately does get arrested you already know he's a perv. It's establishing that with the pool party.
Meh, I'm pretty sure you're leveling now that I look back through your posts again. You've got people on board believing your nonsense though so congrats I guess.

Nope. You're wrong. Assume all you like.

It's obviously child pornography. God, no wonder some directors feel they have to spell everything out if some moviegoers are this dumb.
Of course it isn't small animals FFS!!!!
Was it a millionaire who said "Imagine no possessions"?

No one knows for sure. That was my point really.

I felt it was left that it could either be children being kept at the house, or child pornography.

You assume a lot! No children are even mentioned. It's deliberately left ambiguous.

I always assumed he had children locked in a dungeon in his basement.

I always wondered if he actual children at his house. Not just the underage teenagers but 11 and under children

I know this is old but…
No. The phone does not cut off. Jack hangs up. It's very clear. We watch him do it.
He does not nod to answer the Colonel's question ("Are you my friend?"). He is clearly disgusted. He does not look at the Colonel again; he hangs up the phone, hangs his head in disgust and sorrow, and leaves.
How you got the impression that the phone just "cut off" and Jack nods "yes" in answer I have no idea, but that is absolutely not what happened. (Much like it was absolutely not videos of cute little animals that got the Colonel sent to prison.)

No, the phone cuts-off.
Since The Col. can't hear him, Jack just nods his head "yes" in answer.

Jack is disgusted. & just gets up from the visit & leaves, no more words.

he left u NAKED in a DITCH!

I think most people would assume that. It's never specified though. It could be either
(not seen it for a while - what was Jack's reaction?)
