Chadzilla Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Well, if anyone is interested, Roger Ebert has posted a review of HUMAN CENTIPEDE. A pretty fair and balanced review, all things considered. I believe he's trying to get back in with the cool kids after his KICK ASS review and the whole video game debacle. http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100505/REVIEWS/100509982 This says it all: I am required to award stars to movies I review. This time, I refuse to do it. The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don't shine. . That is pure poetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 That's about as rational as he's been in years but I still take him with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Man Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I have to admit, the one thing about HUMAN CENTIPEDE I do find intriguing is that I can’t remember the last time we got an honest to goodness mad scientist movie. Seriously, I’m thinking maybe THE FLY (1986) or RE-ANIMATOR (1985). Have there been any since? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 From an interview with Tom Six, The writer/director at BBCNews.Why set the sequel in the UK? We start shooting mid-August in London with an almost entirely British crew and cast. When I talk about the main players in World War II, a lot of people ask 'where is England?' I wanted a film in the English language and I absolutely love London. The sequel's title hints at a longer centipede - is that correct? Yes, the centipede has 12 people. I had so many ideas when I wrote part one but I couldn't put them all in because I wanted the audience to get used to the sick idea. Now I can put all my crazy ideas in part two.

KnightWing Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well, hey, twelve people sewn together is a bit much for most audiences to take in. But only three? That shit's a lot easier to swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Gladstone (formerly of Cracked) said it best. "You can never sell enough tickets to buy a soul, you sick fuck." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yup, that was the plan the entire time. Hence why the first movie was called "First Sequence". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 One: Gladstone's about as funny as a buggy full of dead babies. Two: Note that it is all based on the trailer. Three: I haven't heard a bad review of the film and I can pretty much guarantee I've listened to and read as many reviews of that film as any other guy.

MaxPower Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 "Well sir, I really want to make a movie about twelve people sewn to each other ass to mouth." "What? That's absurd!" "Okay. How about three people?" "BRILLANT! That's the ticket!" And yet it's very similar to the discussion the GOP had when planning the Watergate disaster. Their first idea was to blow up the Democrat HQ, and someone said, that's stupid and crazy. The counter was breaking in to the office and they said, sure, go for it.

SuaveStar Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I don't know. The more I think about the Human Centipede, the more I feel like I may have been to harsh with it the first time I watched it. The build up to the actual centipede was great fun, and really intense, as I just knew at some point something bad was going to happen, I just didn't know when. Maybe it was just due to actual centipede not being able to live up to my expectations, by that I mean, I expected the pace not to slow down as much as it did, and just sort of become the Doctor treating the Centipede like a dog for forty minutes, and then a sort of weird ending. I think I'm probably going to rewatch it at some point, then find a way to watch the second one, as it has been refused approval to be shown in the UK by the BBFC, which is probably want the director wanted. Now his film is a lot more infamous, and it'll be a lot more special to feel like one of the chosen people who actually sat through both Human Centipede films.

Missy Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 So the idea is that Human Centipede was a movie in the world of Human Centipede 2, and a nutter is trying to replicate it in the real world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobob_100 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) You know, the tagline actually makes sense if you think about it. The fact that the guy doing the centipede looks like he has no medical training whatsoever and all. I may be down to watch this if it gets a bit more of my attention.
