this wouldn't be an issue if his name was "whitie" or "gayie" or "jewie"

That's a gorgeous dog. That face is so cute! Kinda makes me wonder if my black lab/german shepherd mixed puppy has a little doberman in him. Might explain why he's so lanky, and is so built for speed. The face on that dog reminds me a lot of my dog's face.
Hmmnnn... Gonna have to get him genotyped soon. I've been meaning to do it since we got him.

In all honesty, that was a pretty cool dog.

Also, I have to add that any trainer that can get a Jack Russel Terrier to focus on a simple task for more than six seconds deserves a Goddamned trophy.

Hey, thanks for linking to an article about Scorsese's opinion piece instead of Scorsese's actual opinion piece. Thanks, Fark!

FTAA,NTSWP: (from the actual article, not the stupid write-up)
Must we forget the magnificent physical achievements of such legendary Dobermans as Bingo von Ellendonk (who achieved a perfect score in the storied Schutzhund competition), Borong the Warlock, Baracuda Liborium or Caravelle Drillbit?
I *KNOW* dogs have dumb names (my greyhound can be looked up as MYTHIC WARLOCK on greyhound data) but I had to call him on that and google every one of those. I mean, this is straight out of the "Look Around You" fake-fact playbook.
/And damnit, he was right.

I saw one promo for this movie, and it involved a horribly-done CGI clockwork mouse toy. I was so disappointed that they couldn't even do something so simple without CGI that I vowed to never watch the film.

I could see them having special awards for animal actors, but half the time it is going to be a fairly trivial award. Putting them in for mainstream awards isn't going to be popular - what does it say about most actors if 99% of them do a worse job than a dog/cat/horse/whatever?

That's a shame because the rest of the movie is some of the most stunning CGI I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure the mouse was done old-school using
stop motion.

Fark that, if that one dude didn't get nominated for the role of Gollum, you don't get to complain about some dog.

Hugo is really one movie worth seeing in 3D. I never thought Scorcese could do a movie without having a body count or having the Mafia involved.

I didn't catch the first 15 minutes or so, and was dissapoint when there was no Fark thread to be found for it. Seriously, did you see what Sofia Vergara was wearing? Truly, I thought her dresser skipped the double-stick tape the way she was bouncing.

Yes, it is. Thus, he keeps losing it.
