Since both South Park and Saturday Night Live have made a reference to it, I am somewhat curious about The Human Centipede.  Is it worth seeing, or will I just regret it?

Roger Ebert gave it no stars.  In fact he didn't give it any rating.

I wouldn't watch it unless someone made me.  By force.  Deadly force.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

It's for people with a coprophagous fetish. CDM apparently loves it.  :hmm:

Is it just me or does the new series of Family Guy have very different, higher quality animation. :hmm:

I found The Human Centipede incredibly boring; not so much horrifying.  It was rather tame, actually.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm curious, were they actors crawling around with their mouths on another actor's bung hole or was it done with special effects?

Yeah, this might be one of the few cases in which I'd endorse capital punishment on someone for producing a film.

You could read the plot with a map, but I thoroughly enjoyed the evil doctor.

X-Men First Class

not horrible, not great, good? yeah except for January Jones, sigh, I was hoping she'd be cool and sexy, but she really wasn't. and no accent, bah, but most of the other actors were good, cheeky. I liked "the cameo" and completely missed Stan Lee if he was in it (which gives it a boost imho right there) also unlike recent X-movies there was a discernible story (not the most original of stories, but) at  least. All the things I really liked are very spoiler-y.

Emma Frost's accent is fake anyways.

I watched the BBC's Sherlock Holmes. I almost turned it off when I saw it was a modern day adaptation, and saw Holmes portrayed as a texting fiend. I actually ended up enjoying it, though.

I also saw the BBC's Luther, which I think someone recommended in this thread. It was ok, but didn't seem like anything too special. Netflix may not have the first episodes of the season, though; in the first episode, does he drop the guy down the hole in the ship?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Yes it is, but that's the point, I'm pretty sure Jones could have done a crappy Brit accent. Would have made her seem less wooden.

Considering how wooden Betty Draper is this seems an unrealistic hope.

Which X-Men character was she playing btw?
