The Horror Film, "The Human Centipede"
Edited on Thu Aug-05-10 01:51 PM by Yavin4
At first, I thought that this was a joke, but this movie is real. I will let you read Roger Ebert's review here, but be warned, it's not for the squeamish:

It's coming out on DVD this October, and I predict that this film will be a huge hit. Hollywood will launch it's own franchise to capitalize on it. This movie makes the Saw franchise seem tame.

If you want spoilers without watching the film, go here:

1. "This movie makes the Saw franchise seem tame."
I've seen it, and no, it doesn't. Most of the movie leaves things to your imagination. Hell, I was hoping to be grossed out, and it never happened.

The movie did pretty much suck, however. :)

3. Meh...I'm waiting for the musical.
Now THAT would make for a hell of a chorus line.

7. I'm a big horror fan
to the point that most of the movies I watch make the Saw franchise seem tame, but this one just looks lame. Sure sounds disgusting, but nothing really horrifying or disturbing.

12. The cenepeed is a common metaphor.
Edited on Thu Aug-05-10 11:00 PM by RandomThoughts
Not going to watch that movie, but here are a few examples of it.

There is a reference to it in this song.
I'm Still Standing.
http://espanol.video.yahoo.com/watch/2821551/v2169735

Also was in an episode of Stargate regarding multidimensional things.
Was in the book the Myst.
Is the basic premise of Borg

Many other examples, it is the idea of many feet one brain, or a common conscious. Although there are many thoughts on what that might mean or be. Some think of it as group think or cabal from shared ideology, others think of it as something more like good or/and bad forces that work through many people.

Not going to watch that movie though LOL

13. where the stars don't shine. heh.
I am required to award stars to movies I review. This time, I refuse to do it. The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don't shine. Roger Ebert

15. The evil Dr. merely copied Roger Ailes' idea for how to increase
Fox News viewership. Except Ailes' idea doesn't require stitching, it's all voluntary.
