"This shouldn't have been funded because I dislike it". The fuck? Clearly there is an audience, else this wouldn't have gotten made. | ||

There is just something really gross and alarming about an insane person with as much knowledge as a surgeon... I agree! And if you look at 2:12 seconds of the first trailer where it shows the credits it says that it's '100% Medically Accurate' so this is something we need to legitimately be worried about. | ||

Because his post was only insulting the UK, it had to other purpose. He wasn't adding to the discussion of the film(s). I'm fine with the ban. I am, however, not entirely surprised that the first had enough success to make a sequel. Some people are pretty twisted. | ||

Who cares if you're wasting your time watching them. A waste of time is well...a matter of opinion, I could say you wasted your time typing this or i'm wasting my time typing to you, but in the end it's a personal choice of how you wanna spend your time, no need to get all fussy over it. -_- | ||

Time to put on my rose colored glasses. The BBFC has only ever banned 11 films in it's almost 100 year history - a ban is the exception rather than the rule. The UK's censorship is hardly over the top, it's not like we're approaching China. | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Serbian_Film Far worse than the human centipede. Also, there is an audience for this sort of thing. I'm not a fan of it myself, but part of the aspect of the movie is the psychological terror that ensues from being placed into a situation like that. This isn't just "some movie meant to be fucked up", there is actually thought behind why they wrote it. Yes, it's fucked up and offensive to most people, but that doesn't mean it should be outright banned. I hate when things like this are banned just because they may be offensive. Let the audience watch it, and let those who are offended not watch it, simple as that. There's no reason this should be banned, and every time something like this is banned, it undermines the freedom of speech that most western countries claim to uphold. | ||

Well, it's safe to say that I'll never be watching that, holy shit. What kind of sick state of mind do you have to be in to make this :S | ||
