Animal Farm 1/24 @ 8 PM ET

It appears she likes 'em smelly.

Every revolution needs a song.

No flag yet?

Don’t go to the barn. You will be the first.

An accident. Tragic. And so it begins…

How many revolutions have begun with just a single shot?

Oh craaap. The black pig is Patrick Stewart!!

You’ve got to have a flag. No flag, no country. :stuck_out_tongue:

Or hired mercenaries from Gilder. Inconceivable!!

Revolution or not, those were some big, tasty ribs. Jessie’s nuts. :rolleyes:

Mr. Jones is a horrible farmer.

I’ve always been fascinated with the idea that animals outnumber people. If they ever did get it in their heads to revolt, we’d probably be hard-pressed to stop them.

And then I read this book, written decades before I was born. :stuck_out_tongue:

“The humans are coming.”

Wait, this is X-rated?

Good thing that there aren’t any apes on that farm. If any of these animals had thumbs, these people would have been slaughtered.

Well, we’re a bit out of practice (by thousands of years) but I’d think those instincts would return to us. Besides, these are domestic animals, not wild. I remember having a conversation with myself a long time ago about domestic translating to incarceration.

Morgan Freeman’s character in Shawshank says you can’t survive on the outside once you’ve been “inside” too long. They tell you when to eat, sleep, piss.

“It’s a box where humans watch humans.”

They are getting smarter.

This film is very appropriate given our recent subject matter, Planet of the Apes. BTW, I’m listening to the book ‘Planet of the Apes’, read by scifi Friday productions.

“We must never resemble man.”

Making rules and laws is your first mistake.

These commandments sound familiar. Something Charlton Heston said maybe. But he never gave laws to the Apes. Curious?

Domestication is, in many ways, breeding stupidity and complacency into wild animals. In fact, you’ll see the results of that throughout this movie.

A flag. First, revolution then flag.

This is all going according to Plan.
