4. You're welcome. I probably should have checked some reviews first.

8. Lol, the trailer was posted on here a couple weeks ago
I guess you missed that thread. I have the misfortune of watching that trailer, so no desire to see the full film. You are a brave one!

5. I heard there's a sequel already being planned that involves a lot more than three people.
Needless to say, it's high on my list of fucked up things to kill my time with! :)

6. Add to your list: A trilogy.
The director wants to do a trilogy and says the first one will be "My Little Pony" compared to the second which is supposed to involve 12 individuals .

11. 2 girls 1 digestive system?
It's too ridiculous to be truly horrifying.

13. roger ebert
clued me in on that one. he was so horrified by it he basically told the whole plot in his review as a warning. he even refused to rate it...

<<<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. >>>

18. True story: I lost a bet and the penalty was allowing the winner to choose the movie.
It was a dumb bet on how much paprika goes into Hungarian Goulash.

I confused TBS for tsp and lost.

The irony is that the movie involved the digestive system. Yikes.

19. I wouldn't have been able to
sit through that. I can barely erase the trailer from my mind. It seems like the most inane thing ever to hit the screen and that's saying a lot.

21. watched the trailer.
it didn't look at all scary, just stupid. The whole concept is absurd, and not in a fun way, just in a "wow, that's the best idea the writers could come up with?" kind of way.

No interest in seeing it. Whatsoever. Make a similar movie with a premise that isn't just dumb as hell, and it might be worth my time. I like bad horror movies. This doesn't even qualify as bad.

25. Your remark of
"wow, that's the best idea the writers could come up with?" kind of way." hit the nail on the head. Exactly what I was trying to say.

I was going to say, too, that I can't believe they actually wasted film on something like that, but I'm sure they don't USE film any more, do they? Well what ever media they burn movies on now to send the the theater, they wasted a whooooooole lot of it.

:hi:

24. A Dr. Mengele fantasy film, that is what the trailer implies, a doctor who is a sadist
why do they make movies like this?

26. I find that whole premise hard to swallow. The trailers left a bad taste in my mouth. But I digest.

27. I have three comments.
First, what does this say about our society that such a movie is even made, much less that anyone would go to see it?

Second, if I had the misfortune to be made part of a human centipede, I really would like to be in the front.

Third, I'd kinda like to see this movie, but I think I'll wait for the DVD.
