stephanie is: 
a little disturbed…
so tonight we did dinner and a movie. i wanted to see “house of flying daggers”. i love those epic asian fighting/romance movies. i could just watch them spin around in their gorgeous costumes and sets for hours…
but one scene really disturbed me. enough that i looked a way and said aloud: “those poor horses!” enough to make the lady two seats down say ‘oh god!’ and get up and leave (i saw her stirring at the same time i looked away from the screen, unable to watch, but i didn’t know she left till danny told me as we left).
the scene is a fight on horseback, and the horses are repeatedly tripped into painful-looking summersaults and flung to the ground. please tell me they can do that without hurting them? i bet they can’t… apparently in the uk they cut that part out.
it was a lovely movie, but that really saddened me and kinda tarnished it for me. i guess there aren’t laws about how you can treat animals in movies in asia?
bleh…
