Human Centipede

[TacoSmith]

I pictured the shoes on their knees like it's "Dorf on Human Centipede".

Shoes?  With no kneecaps, I imagine mobility would be achieved by means of a kind of wriggle/squirm.  The inner thighs and inner side of the knees would probably experience the most wear and tear.

I am so confused by this. 


But intrigued!

I've been confused by like the last half dozen posts.

I watched this movie, and I don't have any real justification for doing so aside from having some sort of subconscious self-hatred thing going on. It's pretty... what's the word... revolting. The only reason I made it through the entire thing was because I was constantly distracting myself with video games and comics, but I still saw plenty. It achieves what it's going for, I guess, but why anyone would want to go for that is beyond me. I noticed on wikipedia that the director/writer has a sequel that he's working on where there'll be twelve people in the centipede, which is just... I want to say ridiculous, but that's doesn't seem like a strong enough word.

That's just silly:  how could one person eat enough nutritious food to keep eleven people alive with his or her shit?

I hadn't even considered that aspect-- thanks, Sarah!

[Sarah]

You're very welcome.  Although, forget about food:  how could anyone drink enough water?

Gwyneth Paltrow has an article bragging about it on Goop.

That's about the funniest thing I have read in years!

That made me laugh so hard I almost swallowed my tongue.

The plight of the last person in that lineup could give a new dimension to the old "This food is terrible, and such small portions" gag.

I say you're dead on about the "gag".

I think what's most worrying about this is the full title, The Human Centipede (First Sequence).

If George Lucas didn't have the confidence in his space opera to call it Star Wars I (or IV or whatever, I don't like those films), how can director Tom Six (supposedly real name) be so sure that we'll be clamouring for sequels to this?

I get nauseous just whenever a new page in this thread gets created, because I fear the thread's first page will get weaker and might atrophy. (of course I'm not helping by posting this)

This makes me want to explain to everyone I know what Goop and The Human Centipede are all about, so that I can show them this joke.
