What an impeccable reply Stoo. The perfect soundtrack. Simply impeccable.

Just the cow for a girlfriend as previously noted. Simply making conversation.Stoo said:Anyway, I'm still in fog about your Goofy/bestiality comment. Care to elaborate?
Atilla said:Never heard of the incident. Looked it up, though I won't give the answer away. Interestingly, he seems to offer up two different accounts of why he was fired.In 2012/2013, would Disney fire an employee for making sex jokes about their characters?

Ole' Pale Ale Horse said:So, Thanatosis and I were trying to find Altamont on Youtube. Long story short, we didn't. (in entirety anyway). Ehkneewho....
Ah, indeed. Yes I suppose I meant just for the Altamont sequence... but having that whole album as the sound track for the entire film... capital idea.Wild Wild Horses said:Street Fighting Man could only be the theme song, as they oft do for Bond films, as it's only one song, and not a full soundtrack. Unless of course you meant Beggars Banquet. In that case...I could do a whole treatment for Indy V based on the sequential song list therein.
Please tell, Attila! The question wasn't a quiz as I heard the story many years ago and have since forgotten who the animator was.Attila the Professor said:Never heard of the incident.

If I remember correctly, it happened well after Walt died. Sometime in the '80s I believe. (Probably before Disney's movie about prostitution. How dare an employee make such disgusting remarks within Disney's squeaky-clean walls!)Wild Wild Horses... said:Can't be Lassater, he was fired though. I remember that from the Story of Pixar. Only Disney wasn't alive...still stumped here.
Like Gonzo, I meant just for Indy fighting with Hell's Angels. I'd like to read your Indy 5/"Beggars" treatment. Sounds fun....Couldn't Drag Me Away said:Street Fighting Man could only be the theme song, as they oft do for Bond films, as it's only one song, and not a full soundtrack.

Maybe it would work this way:Dr. Gonzo said:Could be a fun treatment... wondering what kind of climax can be conjured with Salt of the Earth.
Yes, it started during "Sympathy" but the killing was during "Under My Thumb". (I've also heard that Mick got punched in the face before they went onstage.)Gonzo the Great said:But now that I'm thinking about it, didn't the crazy bat **** violence begin while they were playing Sympathy For the Devil? (Which luckily happens to be on said album.)

[Harlan] Ellison was hired as a writer for Walt Disney Studios, but was fired on his first day after being overheard by Roy O. Disney in the studio commissary joking about making a pornographic animated film featuring Disney characters. He recounted this incident in his book Stalking the Nightmare, as part 3 of an essay titled "The 3 Most Important Things in Life". At a talk at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, Ellison stated he was walking the halls of Disney and was bored, until he found a screwdriver, at which time he walked throughout the facility tightening every screw he saw until he was confronted in the basement. His termination came later that day.
Stoo said:Harlan Ellison, eh? I knew that it was someone well known. Thanks for finding the info, Attila.
That Wiki entry makes it difficult to tell what is true. It says that he was terminated the same day as the screwdriver incident but doesn't necessarily claim that it was the reason he was fired. Plus, he was bored and walking around the halls during his 1st day on the job? Huh? Did he work at Disney for 1 day or not?
If it was Roy who overheard Ellison's porno jokes, I'm assuming this must have been the late '60s/early '70s. I still wonder if being fired for such a thing would happen with today's Disney. Wasn't the word, 'sex', subliminally hidden amongst the clouds in "Aladdin" (1992) and a couple having sex in a background window in "The Rescuers" (1977)? Did anyone get fired for those PUBLIC instances?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this removed/changed because of public outrage & disgust, regardless of what the real letters were? (Disney bowing & scraping to squeaky-clean, political correctness?)Raiders112390 said:The word "SFX" is written in the sky in Lion King--not SEX. It's a common mistake on people's part.

Some animator slipped it in there and it wasn't noticed until the VHS release-upon which it was immediately removed from future releases.

Right. It was eventually removed. Did anyone get removed/fired for putting this in the film in the first place?Raiders112390 said:Some animator slipped it in there and it wasn't noticed until the VHS release-upon which it was immediately removed from future releases.

And you, stop agitating the kid. You know full well who you're dealing with and what kind of response you're baiting for.

Bollocks. I've been asking the same types of questions to Attila & Pale (your fellow moderators). I'm trying to establish a point here through conversation & questioning and most certainly didn't expect Raiders112390's use of the term, "butthurt", (or whatever else you're finding objectionable) nor did I realize that I, alone, would be personally held accountable for his Disney-related tantrums.Finn said:And you, stop agitating the kid.

Yes, 'political correctness' was the wrong term to use. 'Puritanical correctness' would be more suitable.Raiders112390 said:They didn't take it out, and you're being ridiculous. If they HAD taken it out, it wouldn't be bowing and scraping to political correctness, it'd be taking something out of a movie MEANT FOR CHILDREN that shouldn't be there.
Star Wars and Indy are owned by Disney.
DEAL. WITH. IT.
Stop the butthurt.
