What a difference a month makes! March certainly did come in like a lion -- and so did a handful of bloggers dedicated to the challenge of impromptu animal dummy-death analysis/critique for our DESTRUCTIBLE BLOG-A-THON.1!
And so, to prove we are no April Fools, The Flying Maciste Brothers welcome Springtime and bid 'adieu' to Winter with this humble offering -- multitudes of prostheticized lambs to the slaughter with this sequence from the Nicholas Roeg-lensed adaptation of Thomas Hardy's FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD.

For whatever reason, when watching this several years ago, it never occurred to me that these were dummy sheep. On retrospect - well, duh. This is what makes Destructible Man such a valuable public service. Someone, like maybe Lou Reed, should cut a PSA on your behalf.
God, what a job, deflating bloated sheep. If that were a weekly series, I'd sure as shit watch it.
You can't say this often, but I learned something from this film. Years ago, I visited a sheep farm and I remember thinking, hey, if the sheep blow up... I know what to do!
