If the title alone isn't enough to make you squirm, a brief rundown of the premise for the indie horror movie, "The Human Centipede," certainly will. Any film involving three humans sharing a single digestive tract obviously isn't aiming to be easy on the eyes.

Eh, there was a movie from Hong Kong in the 1990s called "Centipede Horror" that had to do with demons, possession, etc, and a woman barfing up real live centipedes.

That would be any Barbra Streisand movie.

Hmmm. Three entities sharing a common digestive tract. That would be the legislative, judicial, and executive branches wouldn’t it?

"No horror film I've seen inflicts more terrible things on its victims than 'The Human Centipede,'" Ebert wrote in his review. "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 it occupies a world where the stars don't shine."

Roger Ebert also gave a zero star review to a fictional film about the death penalty in Texas where the character on death row was guilty of the crime. He said that film couldn't be made and certainly not set in Texas.

The Many Faces of Death series was pretty cool until you figured out it wasn’t real.

For me... it was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The Child Catcher starred in many nightmares when I was little. If it’s on... I turn it off immediately.

Eraserhead was as creepy as it gets.

Disturbing.

Any movie directed or starring the following:

• Woody Allen (self-loathing is not funny)
• Bill Murray (since 2000)
• Michael Moore (unless he wants to re-create the Mr. Creosote role as a self-documentary)
• Jason Schwarzman (proving talent doesn't run in families)
• Will Ferrell (how many times can you play the same character?)

Now I remember, my wife a few years ago rented a movie called “Perfume.”

We could only stand to watch about 15 minutes of it before ripping the DVD out of the player.

What is so bad about three humans sharing a digestive tract?

0bama and Biden share a brain.

The rest of the Democrat Party shares most of a soul.

This one ranks high on the disgusting list...complete with centipede guts.

I watched The Fly 2 last night, it takes off where the modern Fly left off, i.e. Brundle’s girlfriend has his baby and dies at birth. It actually was fairly well done but very gory, more so than I would have wanted to see.

I watched the Exorcist again last week, another well done horror flick except all of the comedy skits that have been done about it since it came out in the early 70’s made me laugh most of the time, especially when the little girl’s head rotated, I am laughing now just writing about it.

I don’t mind a good insect horror flick as long as there are not a lot of the little buggers. I tried to watch Eight Legged Freaks the other night but turned it off about 30 minutes in, too many spiders for me.

Gorgo is next.

"It's not that people like it -- the natural reaction to this kind of movie is fear and disgust," Weaver said. "The gratification comes from pushing yourself and proving to yourself what you can take."

Yeah, I doubt it. There are far better ways to push yourself, prove your courage to yourself and test your limits than sitting on your butt watching movies of people being tortured. This is sadistic voyeurism, pure and simple, and some in the fan base are surely thinking about doing more than just watching.
