I just had a sudden impulse to pay for The Human Centipede on demand as my final (and only) PPV encounter with Time Warner. 

I think I'll sleep on it before I decide.

Reading something online in an entirely different connection, I saw someone making reference to a cartoon of the Human Centipede made up of several Gallaghers.  (Gallagher, the comedian.)

Poking around further, I did find an image of the cartoon. I didn't think it was especially well realized. It had looked better in my mind's eye than it did when I actually saw it.

So I won't post a link to the image here.  Just imagine it!  Now, don't you feel better?

I don't remember what Gallagher looks like.

Sort of like a longer-mugged Croz. Or Ron Gallagher, in fact he looks a lot like Ron Gallagher.

In your opinion: Good but nauseating, OR bad and nauseating?

The deadly combination: bad and boring.

I didn't find it very nauseating. Most of the gruesome stuff happens off-screen (the film was recently passed by the British censors without any cuts).

It's an interesting horror concept that could've/should've drawn much, much more from the premise - y'know, Cronenberg, Yuzna's Society, the new flesh, stuff like that. But no. The antagonist is frustratingly one-dimensional and predictable, the film never moves beyond the SHOCK of the innovative concept. Too bad.

And pretty much all the dialogue scenes are horribly flat and poorly acted.

Happy Birthday!

I can't believe no one's put this on a cake yet:

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

On the basis of this review, I have downloaded it.

Watched it Friday.  Yup, bad and boring.  I think I probably would have found it confusing as well if I hadn't already heard so much about it.

In conclusion:  disappointing, but not unexpectedly so.

I believe this is intended to represent the Matisyahuman Centipede

My curiosity got the best of me last night, and my ladyfriend and I watched it. I'm a fan of terrible horror movies, and I thought it was just boring. A weird creepy concept with nothing to flush it out.
There was zero suspense in the entire thing.
Lame.
