I doubt they would get permission from PETA, considering PETA would probably organize a protest against a sports arena if a baseball accidentally hit a bird or something.
Btw - Brude - do you actually own that poster? I've been wanting one of those bad boys for a long time! Glaberson had one for auction a while back, I wrote to him asking him to clarify the dimensions for me because he had it listed as 27 x 40, but he never wrote me back and the poster got sold.
Yes, I have an original HENRY, with the Joe Coleman art. It measures -- if memory serves me correctly -- 25x38 or slightly smaller, definitely not 27x40. I got it back in the day from Chuck Parello, who worked on the film and directed the sequel.
Schan, there were no animal cruelty issues in HENRY, Severen and fallen were referring to SEED, which sounds like a gross-out. Apparently, PETA 'sold' them some disturbing stock footage to start (prologue?) the movie. I can see PETA doing this, especially if they knew it would upset viewers. Whether they were paid for usage or actually donated the film, I don't know.
Back in the day, I used very graphic photos of animals caught in leg-hold traps to underscore the horror of animal cruelty. I used these at seminars and slideshows. These were always provided freely by groups like the FUND FOR ANIMALS, DEFENDERS OF WILDLIFE and the ASPCA -- that is, if they were being used to educate. The producers of SEED probably approached them in a similar vein.
As for CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, thanks for the heads up. I have not seen it and I will never watch it now.
