The fact that this thread, on the IMDb message board for The Human Centipede, is ten pages long kind of warms my heart.

"Being in a human centipede is a team effort, people!"

NB: Best not to read while eating. Or, for those with weak stomachs, ever.

Roger Ebert's summation that this film occupies a space where stars don't shine is probably pretty accurate.

Sounds like it. I have not, uh, "experienced" the cinematic masterpiece yet. And I don't think I need to ... .

We've seen it. In fact, we "rented" it via OnDemand from Comcast. It wasn't terrible. It was really censored (there's got to be an uncut version....somewhere), which lessened some of the ickiness. But overall, I've seen movies that were more gross. Eh.

Uwe Boll, on the other hand, probably loved it. So this comment gets the Uwe Boll thumbs-up userpic.

When I first heard the title, I thought it was something along the lines of The Fly, but with a human/centipede hybrid. Then I saw a little ... schematic ... of the title character(s) and was like, "Oh. Oh! Now I get it."

At least it sounds like the filmmaker has a sense of humor about it, too. Because, seriously: how could he not (unless he was Uwe Boll)?

I saw it in the theater... it was ridiculous, and silly, and gross... and you know.. that whole rote kind of shocking for shocking sake. Apparently the maker of the film did this purely as a set up for his next movie... referring to it is as 'this first film will be My Little Ponies in comparison'
:p
That said, I don't know what is more disturbing, making a sequel, evoking My Little Ponies, or the smut ripoff called human sextapede
