For those that don’t get it…Movie poster for Beethoven, a film about an adopted dog that turns the previously quiet family home upside down.

Oh my, some people are too young to have known this movie 😐

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I watched this with my kids the other day just to share some of my childhood memories with them.

I sure was surprised to learn the plot of the movie was that some bad guys had developed a new type of bullet and needed to test it out on the thick skulls of live animals. They try to kidnap Beethoven so that they can shoot him in the head. In order to accomplish this, they abuse the dog until it attacks one of them and then cover themselves in fake blood so the family is forced to agree to have the dog put down.

Somehow childhood me had blocked all of this out and just remembered "haha funny big dog".

What in the fuck‽ It's true

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven_%28film%29

However, Dr. Varnick seeks large-skulled dogs such as St. Bernards for an ammunition test.

Under the guise of doing a follow-up exam on Beethoven, Varnick visits the Newton home. After applying fake blood onto his arm and Beethoven, Varnick provokes Beethoven into a fight and convinces George that the dog attacked him, but Emily protests that the attack was fake. Varnick warns George that Beethoven may be turning aggressive and must be put to sleep, or he will have no choice but to press charges.

But also, what dumb fucks, if they really wanted to test fancy ammo they could use bears or similar. Fuckers have some THICC skulls

Or a dead dog. Why shoot a live one?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Got curious and apparently you can just buy replica AND real animal skulls from this place https://www.skullsunlimited.com

Lmao they even sell real bison skulls apparently (With free shipping!) they could have tested their bullet on a wide range of skulls lol

Lol yeah dude, I wouldn't just make that shit up. It's wild!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

How about the part in the 2nd one where the dog destroys part of a cabin thereby preventing a teenage girl from being sexually assaulted. PG movies in the 80s and 90s were something

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't remember that this is what it was about 😮

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Same! There's a lot of stuff from my childhood that I remember being awesome, then going back to revisit it and being horrified. Like, I vaguely remembered the movie Gremlins being cute and funny when I was a kid. But reading the plot now makes me wonder how I survived childhood without PTSD.

I couldn't get past the dad yelling that he wanted to kill himself, while watching with my youngin

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Jesus what the fucking Christ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I remember the fake blood, but wasn't the movie about them wanting to breed the dogs with their female dog and selling the little ones for lots of money?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I just looked it up and the selling puppies was the plot of the 2nd movie.

Me, excitedly answering

"It's us! The four most famous renaissance era artists!"

Me, crying and running into my room.

"Cowabunga" michelangelo not the tmnt version -this guy

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

If "A Major" in the title was intentional, then bravo!

Honestly I'd be exited to be able to meet the composer anyway, and maybe give him a pat on the head.

Not completely, not at first. If he cupped his hands or used a horn he could hear people talking. But towards the end of his life he would play the piano while resting his head against it. It’s kind of sad, really.
