While the pun is kind of funny, I find the idea of oral defecation gross even if it is just a cartoon. Definitely not watching the real thing. | ||

Seems fair to me. I'm pretty sure I've seen plenty of people getting banned for US bashing. Stop making shit up. | ||

There are plenty of movies that aim for a UK ban because that is exactly what they want. These gore-only movies are just that, shock value and nothing gives them more gore-cred then getting banned by a cabal of dinosaurs. I wouldn't mind if this movie was never produced to begin with but i ain't a fan of banning either. You shouldn't take the UK movie commision to seriously though. They occasionally ban a movie like this to pretend like they have a right to exist and nobody gives a shit because they don't give a shit about this movie. If this commision of world war 1 veterans ever bans any movie that can even slightly be considered in the gray area they are all going to get tossed onto the street. They know they have to walk a fine line in keeping their stupid meaningless jobs and pretending they still have a right to exist. Truth be told i wouldn't be suprised if some of them members are allready taking bribes to ban these movies on purpose for marketing purposes. So it's a stupid movie but let's not pretend this commision actually has the power to ban anything beyond these gore-fest movies. | ||

I agree. HellRoxYa seems to be implying slippery slope, which, as we all know, is informally a logical fallacy. This movie is nothing more than an exploitation film with, to be as objective as possible, depictions of humans violating other humans. | ||

My girlfriend was visibly ill from the south park episode and I thought it was a really messed up idea for an episode.

I dunno, I laughed pretty hard in Tsst when the nanny went crazy and ate her own feces. | ||

The first one was not that. It was disgusting sure, but absolutely retarded. Half the time I spent watching it was spent laughing at how terrible it is, and maybe a good 5% of the time I thought oh well thats pretty gross. So I mean, I'd only recommend it to people that have a fetish of defecation into others mouths, or like to watch pretty terrible horror movies. From the sounds of it, the 2nd one might be even more stupid. | ||

If you still applaud film censorship (regardless of however disgusting or uninterested you are personally in the movie) then I guess the human race really is doomed. It's not like censoring will zap it from existence. People who want to see it will have their methods of doing so. I applaud this censorship because it's like a warning: "Don't waste your time filming stupid shit in which its only artistic/cultural value is the look on a woman's face when she gets another's shit forced into her mouth." I mean, it doesn't even have to be a censorship, they could "fine" the producers 1 million in order to release it. I wouldn't care. Of course they can't do this, so I understand why they banned it. | ||

"It's just an excuse to write about fucked up stuff while slamming your guitar on the ground for teens to pretend they like it". I never felt much for gore movies but I know there are plenty of people who get really torn up by gore movies, and the whole point of horror is that you should be scared, horrified or disgusted. This one obviously fulfills that purpose. | ||

I can see the issue, but this individual movie being censored will not precipitate the end of the free world or the censorship of any movie that contains a shred of artistic merit. | ||

But that's the inherent problem with censorship, government shouldn't warn the people of what it believes is or isn't artistic or cultural value. | ||

A couple years ago, my buddy was working at a movie rental/tobacco shop (canada's fucking weird) and there was a regular who would always come in looking for gore movies, so my buddy recommended him Saw and the Hills have eyes and all that... Guy was always a little slow and weird but my buddy just assumed he had mental health issues. Anyways, 6 months later this guy rapes and butchers a 20 year old girl who worked at a Care home for the elderly (my other friend worked with her). He stalked her on her way home from work and left her body in his closet for 2 weeks... I'm not saying the movies were the cause of the murder, but ones gotta think that these kind of movies are at least somewhat fueling the desires of the sickest people on the planet. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2010/06/11/ns-maguire-guilty-horne.html | ||

The concept of the movie seems somewhat interesting, maybe I'll watch it. Imo it doesn't seem to be near as bad as any of the Saw films. The first few saw films were works of art(in my opinion). It wasnt about the violence but the plot line. I do feel that saw has an amazing plot line and keeps you guessing. Although it did get known for its gore and violence but really there wasnt a whole lot till about the 4th one. I did see the human centipede and it was honestly dull, wierd/messed up and uninteresting as a whole and I still think ill of the movie. The point im trying to say in my opinion saw is at least 20 times better then human centipede in terms of plot line and story telling while human centipede is 20 more fucked up and lame when compared to saw. Just my 2 cents on saw movies vs human centipede | ||
