People have been telling me that I should post the Human Centipede trailer here on Slog, in case there are still people in the world lucky enough not to know about Human Centipede. Well, fine. Here you go:
Human Centipede! It’s just what it sounds like! Only worse! (I haven’t heard yet if/when Human Centipede will open in Seattle.)
Lindy West was born an unremarkable female baby in Seattle, Washington. The former Stranger writer covered movies, movie stars, exclamation points, lady stuff, large frightening fish, and much, much more.... More by Lindy West

@50: I can live with that. Like @48 said, it’s fiction.
It hurts by brain to think about it this way, but, there may be some value as social commentary to this movie. The rich are the first guy (they get everything pure), the middle class the second (debt based money is smelly money is it not?) and the rest are last (Do you have any spare change?). With such an overdetermined social structure no one is allowed to ‘graze’ the bounty of the world their own.
Dare I say this movie is . . . timely?
My attempt to overthink this isn’t taking away the nausea . . . Fuck!! 😉
I am offended on Germany’s behalf.
imdb.com indicates the sequel is in pre-production
I just can’t stop laughing because that means the director has figured out a way to somehow “top” the original film. Anyone want to speculate?
i’m watching it right now. see, i was asking myself what he was going to do with the human centipede after he built it…. now i know!
@27 – Audition? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audition_%2…
Nobody noticed that the crazy doctor was Mantrid from the SciFi show LEXX?
ok. just finished it. terrible. don’t bother. seriously, not worth your time.
Geezus fucking Kreist. How’d they get IFC to bankroll this?
Perhaps this quote a friend received, who had gone out and replaced their not-very-old smart phone with an iPhone, should probably not be shared:
This quote coming from, of all people, a longtime user of Macs who refuses to get an iPhone. I suppose the sutures used are made of EULA, while there’s an App for making sure the grafts hold. It is, after all, a closed system.
@41, that was my reaction too, that it sounds like a one-off gag from an old South Park episode.
check out the bedside photo at 1:49
Come on guys. Its not much different than the shit that goes on in hotel rooms at CPAC.
Reality is still worse! Haha, suck on that, ‘Pede.
I like what @27 said. Thank you.
@27- I think it’s interesting the first segment of the centipede- the part that doesn’t have to eat shit- is male. I haven’t seen the film but I’m told the evil doctor gets some kind of sexual satisfaction when he watches the women “being fed”. This would mean that he’s getting off forcing two attractive young women to eat a man’s shit.
Obviously all segments of the centipede are victims but this adds an element of gender violence, I think. It’s rapey.
@66: You’ll cry when you hear the ending too.
@27 Didn’t the first Saw movie only have two males in it? That is the only example I can think of.
I saw this trailer a week ago and a nightmare about it last night, so gross.
I really wish I had not watched that. That is all.
