I asked in the ask a question thread but they're taking too long and they usually think I'm being facetious but maybe you guys will know - In the Andromeda Strain did they kill a monkey? Because if they didn't that monkey is a really good actor (for a monkey).

What are some other cases of animals being really good actors? Should animals that are good actors be eligible for Academy Awards?

No, they starved it of oxygen until it passed out then resuscitated it immediately afterwards.

Also at the very first academy awards they were about to nominate a dog as best actor but then thought it might make them look like an unserious award show so animals are not nominated.

My fat cousin rolled over in bed and did that to her baby, minus the resuscitation part.

I wish they would do that to some people actors.

I'll never be able to watch another one without wondering what could have been.

I wish they'd open a museum of celebrity skulls, because some celebs have faces that don't even make sense.

I'm not condoning rounding up celebrities for their skulls, but it'd be nice after they were already dead.

The joke is they killed a bunch of animals making the movie. The people were not actually killed though. If only the animals had been better actors the producers wouldn't have felt it necessary to kill them.

They used CO2 I heard.

I don't like it when in movies animals get killed for real. :gerty:

In The Wild Bunch there was a scene where they were shooting chickens buried in the ground. Apparently if you bury a chicken up to the neck in the ground they fall asleep so right before they hit the button to detonate the small explosive around their necks that make their heads shoot off they threw gasoline in their eyes to wake them up and look alert.
