I have often heard from ladies that guys tend to have a skewed vision of reality when perceiving themselves. :floor:

Personally, I think finding the right sized partner would be difficult if you were, say a male Fig Wasp, not to mention that you would be a Freak Show. ...and let's not forget, you would be dead by the end of the day. Wait, one other thing, you wouldn't have much choice in the ladies, you get one shot at it before you have to go to work and be the females' biatch, only to die after you finish your job.

I thought it was GREAT! And, I mate by appointment only, too. HAHAHAHAH!

John - you guys did a fantastic job! But, I don't appreciate your little antics! :roll: :D
 
From what I've heard on the street the last 24 hours, some of the MountainFilm viewers were taken aback or outright disgusted by the depiction of several animals being roasted or animals being killed in Friday evening's two Mongolia films.

Our intent was not to offend anyone, and I apologize if we did.

I've heard the terms "animal cruelty" and even "animal sacrifice" being used, and I feel those are just plain inaccurate. Most parts of the world are filled with people who gather or kill their own food to eat. If someone truly objects to us showing fire-roasted marmot, I have to assume they don't eat hamburgers or chicken or grouper.

I will say that I wish I would've mentioned the method used to kill the sheep shown in "Mujaan" -- it was shown, but not really explained, in the film. Once the initial incision is made, the man reaches into the living animal and clamps off the sheep's aorta with his hand, thereby causing death quite rapidly.

And it wasn't done for a "sacrifice," but rather for the celebration meal for the newly delivered hand-built yurt that's the actual subject of the film.

John and I are very happy that almost everybody had another great time at our shows this year. Thanks for making it a success!

Jim, thanks for posting. I did hear one person say that they were offended by those films being shown. I couldn't disagree more. Perhaps if everyone who ate meat was required to see how we, right here in the USA, kill and butcher our meat, more people would appreciate the food on the seldom occasion it was consumed. Great Job!
 
Sorry some people were offended...I guess they do not live in the real world....:idontno: In most parts of the world life is so harsh and survival is not so easy as it is here. Most of the world's population is what they would trem "uncivilized", doing what they have to do in order to survive.

BTW...
I hear only good reviews about the MFF!

I thoroughly enjoyed ALL of it! Thank you! :clap_1:
 
I too enjoyed it very much. The weather, the moon and all the work you both put in was perfect. I agree that the part of the film was a bit shocking, but so are so many things in life that we are just "lucky" enough to not have to see or think about. I think there were many things in all of the films that I will take and make some changes in my life. There are so many things we take for granted.

The "Kids that Rip" makes me just want to throw the "Game Boy" in the trash!! The film about water...ok, I need to shorten the showers!! It was all a great experience and I can't wait to go again next year!:clap_1:

Expand on this please. Oh, and I've been wondering all week what "boodog" is. Is this a southern delicacy?
