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....

  2. 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!! 😉

  4. 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?

  5. 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!

  10. 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:

    “You are also imprisoned as Steve Jobs’s bitch now. In his lair, all you iPhone users are surgically connected to one another by him to form a massive human centipede.”

    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.

  16. @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.

  18. @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.
