Why should Cannibal Holocaust be censored merely to make it more palatable to you? After all, even if the animal cruelty is removed, it's still undeniable that animals were killed in the production of the film. You should shun the movie completely if it offends you that much. If you buy a cut version, you're still supporting it and giving money to the people who hurt those animals, even if those scenes have been removed.

I am NOT a sadist (and I resent the implication) and I don't revel in cruelty to animals. But Cannibal Holocaust is what it is. You can hack it to pieces, but it still remains a film wherein animals were killed. If you really can't handle it, then stay away. And are you okay with the scenes of real human death in the Road to Hell sequence? If so, then doesn't that make you a sadist too?

And couldn't you argue that in toning down the film you are somehow sweeping it all under the carpet and excusing the filmmakers for their actions?

ok. here it is. i can't stand humans. i'd gladly see Deodato kill thousands of you. you're deluded apes. tone down the animal atrocities because humanity is supposed to evolve culturally if not mentally, that'd be palatable to me. i would gladly kill thousands of you to save one animal from your pathetic drive for archival footage. you bore me. in short, im more of a sadistic son of a muthers bitch than you could possibly know. oh wait, what's that, i really don't care............fetch my tartar war-bow. i feel some 'shunning' coming on.

It's okay, just take a deep breath, everything is okay. Everything is okay. Seriously. Everything is okay.

It's just a shame that the evolutionary process appears to have bypassed you. You're not half as clever or witty as you think you are. Random quotes and subtle intellectual references does not a genius make.

Okay, now you can infract me, I insulted someone.

I'm off to torture my pets because, apparently, I'm a sadist!

Before this descends into another Royal Rumble,can we all just agree to disagree?

As Almar said in another thread,arguments like this deter small companies from releasing other niche titles,because believe it or not,the people who own these small indie label actually read these boards.

Now we wouldn't want that,would we?
