Boycott Flicka?

We're going to see the movie and we are looking forward to it.

I probably won't see the movie in theaters, seeing as I'm broke. But I will rent it.

Donna, I spent a lot of time around horses growing up. You really do have to be physical with them to get their attention. I've personally had to shove or "punch" a horse to get it to move or keep it from crushing me into a fence or wall. Especially when working around draft horses.

One of my first experiences with a horse, I was feeding my friend's Arab and forgot to keep my palm flat. Next thing I know, my fingers are in his mouth and he's not letting go. I tried prying his mouth open, slapping his nose, nothing worked. I cried out to my friend who told me to punch him in the cheek. My reaction was, . I told her I didn't want to hurt him.

She came over, gave him a swift sock in the cheek and he let go of my fingers. Slightly bruised but thankfully not broken. The Arab gave my friend a look like, 'What was that for?' and then went back to trying to find food in my pockets.

Kimmy, if it makes you feel any better, I'm sure Scott and I will be waiting on the DVD to watch it. We rarely go to the movies. Too expensive and too much sitting at one time! I like the "pause" button so I can get up and move around! LOL!!!

I hear ya! Even matinee prices around here are getting rediculous.

We tend to go to only go to the big blockbuster flicks that we anticipate (like Star Wars, LOTR, "the super hero flicks", ect.), everything else we wait until video.

Our cheap-seats used to be $1.75 - they moved to a new location and it's now $4.45 - only 1/2 the price of the expensive theater which is $8.75.

I always hid my own popcorn from home in my bags - I ain't spending another $10 on stuff from the theater!

I'm probably not going to see it anyways, but that website is a bit crazy. I ride horses, and there are some that just seem to have no nerves. My percheron, for example, he's the most dense thing ever! It is nearly impossible to get him to move without a crop or small spurs. So I can see how they could easily mistake it as "abuse", seeing as if the horse is stubborn, it may look like you're beating it to someone who's never ridden a horse like that. As for the deaths, that's very sad, but that is the problem with these kinds of things. We take an animal and make it do something that could easily get it hurt. I'm still probably not going to see the movie. Not really my type of movie.
