Bestiality on the Big Screen?

woody.jpgWhoah, whoah whoah.

Has anyone heard about this new film from Robinson Devor called “Zoo”? It’s short for zoophilia which means “abnormal fondness for animals”… Damn straight abnormal fondness. I might have thrown up a little in in my mouth when I read about it in Nylon on the subway a couple days ago.

This movie is loosely based on an event that made national news in July 2005, a man dying of massive internal bleeding in Seattle from having sex with a stallion. It gets worse. His death led investigators to a whole group of these sickos, who all have a penchant for a little horsey loving. But it was cool, because apparently bestiality isn’t illegal in Washington. God damn hippies.

Turns out these “zoophiles” claim to transcend the weirdness of just having sex with animals for fun, but actually think that a fufilling and lasting relationship, you know, like fuzzy marriage feelings and whatnot, can happen between a human and an animal. Oh no, I just felt a little gag coming on.

The film has gotten good reviews from a number of different sources, but I can’t bring myself to read the article again let alone see it on the big screen even though there are supposedly no scandalous visuals. The Sundance judges called it a “humanizing look at the life and bizarre death of a seemingly normal Seattle family man who met his untimely end after an unusual encounter with a horse.”

Man, that must have been one awkward funeral…

What do you think about this film?

Thanksgiving Makes For Some Great TV

If there’s one thing I love more than gorging myself on turkey (and stuffing, and cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie… mmm… wait, what was I talking about again?), it’s loafing on the living room couch before and after Thanksgiving dinner and taking in some fine Thanksgiving television.
