Last night I decided to stream a netflix film and saw that "Human Centipede" flick was available.
Edited on Tue Nov-23-10 10:51 AM by LynneSin
I heard all the stink about it and thought "mmmm, I wonder what the big deal was" (and yes I did know the plotline).

SO I streamed the movie but the beginning was a bit boring and typical for a horror movie so I fastforwarded. I got to the point where the evil doctor tells his 3 captured patients his attention and it dawned on me. "There is absolutely no purpose to this movie other than watching the concept of someone swallowing someone elses poo". And it dawned on me "I am not the type of person who finds any pleasure out of watching something like that" so I turned it off before that evil doctor finished explaining to his captured patients what he was planning on doing.

What's crazy is they say a sequel is in the works. Really? That many people fancy watching something like that? Seriously sick people.

1. A fetish film in disguise?
We have been streaming 30 Rock, you might enjoy Tina Fey and Co much more, only a little fetish stuff.

2. I've seen all of 30 Rock. Just finished Weeds
Well I suppose there is a fetish film for everyone but if that is someone's fetish then :scared:

6. Ain't that the truth!
:scared: We would get locked if we started talking about it too. So, I just want to thank you for your PSA regarding Weeds S6 on Youtube. What a finale!

7. I gave up after season 5 on Weeds but they redeemed themselves with season 6
and I can't wait until season 7. Plan C may have saved Nancy

3. Stream these two and tell me if they're any good:
Tetsuo: The Iron Man

Crash (Cronenberg-directed)

I would like to see Tetsuo, but am not sure about Crash. Many Cronenberg films are fetish-like anyway, so you can't go wrong there ;)

8. We've known each other for what, about 1-2 years now
I know better than to google what you asked me to google.

I'm assuming whatever is there is NSFW.

13. I saw a picture of someone's human centipede tatoo.
I'm sure you can google that, if you haven't already.

10. Egregious acting, besides the Japanese and German actor,
awkward plot, fast forward a half hour of egregious acting, totally unbelievable cops involved (if your partner gets killed, you should call for reinforcement, heck, you should have called for it the first time when you came back with a search warrant,) but other than that: It was so bad it was enjoyable.

And I thought first it was just an internet meme but then learned that it was an actual film. Yes, it's gross, but the really gross sequences are pretty short and unbelievable also. The thing I mostly found funny was that when the crazy doctor spoke German (his native language,) he tried to put an American accent on.

Sure not a family movie, but kinda funny.

11. Damnit, I was going to rent the video for my friend's 9 & 14 year old kids
Figured this was something good for them to watch.

12. I don't know the movie taste of your friend's kids, but
nah!

On the other hand, if you don't like them, hey, it's a great flick!

Kidding, of course. It's not suitable for this age group.

14. I know two people who saw that movie.
My boyfriend saw it 'on demand' and he found it pretty weird (and he's a huge fan of horror movies). Another friend saw it and laughed his ass off throughout.

16. Best Critique EVER!
"The room was filled with people, but only two had speaking parts!"

I found that on some site I was reading. I was on the floor!

I'll pass on this one! (Heh!)

17. Fox News viewers should love it since they are quite comfortable "swallowing someone else's poo"
