The Human Centipede- Page 8

I think this thread touches on all of it without providing any insights. In the early portion, the intent of the creators of the movie is called into question along with whatever the possible desires of the consumers (you should pardon the expression) would motivate them to want to see it.

When we finally get to the voices of those who've seen it, there's just an air of disappointment with no mention of why they wanted to see it in the first place.

Is it like the readers of horror novels? Is it something primal?

haha! Someone posted on here in another thread a week or two ago. Cracked me up. And also provided me some entertainment at work!

A remake I'd go see: The Human Centipede starring Glen Beck, Sarah Palin and Bill O'Reilly! Tag line: We've eaten their **** for long enough! It's their turn!

What I'm wondering is:

How did this movie get such a wide distribution?

I never heard of this film before I came across a review if it in the New York Times online. Then I came across this thread. Then I saw that it was available via IFC on Comcast-on-Demand.

Yesterday, I'm reading Pittsburgh's free CityPaper and I find a revue of it, meaning it's playing here in town! (And I can't tell you the number of good movies that did not play here!)

How? Why? I don't get it...

I do have to add that, at least, there are no name actors in this thing. I have not felt the same about Roger Bart since he did "Hostel 2".

Like many indies it played some horror festivals. And then to everyone's surprise it got good reviews. So it kept playing wider.
Then all the horror sites got a hold of the story and the curiosity factor skyrocketed.

It just grew from there.

I think we can all agree that it's not a great movie, but it's sheer morbid subject matter has piqued a lot people's interest.


If you think this is strange, wait until "Rubber" starts emerging from the underground. It's about a homicidal tire that makes people's heads explode. That is a literal summation of the story. It's already gotten a lot of specialized press and will be coming to select theaters next year.

Holy crap, JG2! Why'd you get that on your feet? I wouldve guessed the small of your back.

"It's about a homicidal tire that makes people's heads explode."

Yeah, but that could really happen. I wouldn't want to see a movie about it.

Hard as I try, I cannot convince my boyfriend to go see this with me... it's playing at the IFC theater. I feel going to see it alone wouldn't make me look great.

And yep... Rubber. That exists.

This the Rubber thread I started.

It has some clips. The teaser is hilarious.

That poor tire. Rolling all alone down down the street, like a rubber Forrest Gump.

A homicidal telekinetic Forrest Gump!

Bubba died on a Tuesday. I blewed him up. He was my best good friend.

"I'm pooping, I'm pooping"
and they all started pooping and one dropped dead.

I heard about this movie a few weeks ago from one of my girlfriends, and I honestly don't even know what to say about it. And maybe I'm being dense, but what exactly is the purpose of cutting of their kneecaps?

I just picture a spoof of this when they all break into a conga line or something.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 9/27/10 at 12:23am

I think the kneecap thing is so they can't try to stand. It's just too disgusting to even think about.

It's not that disgusting. Put three gay guys in a room together and you'd find them in exactly the same position. They just wouldn't be sewn together.

There were about 16,000 gay men in Shubert Alley today and I didn't see that being done.

[CATSNYrevival]

Well, I would hope that most guys would have enough class not to do anything like that in the middle of Shubert Alley.
