At the Cinema

I know we have a thread for movie musings, but this could be a nice place for trailers, limited and new releases, classic film showings, special appearances, etc.

Here is one to start. It's a bit odd

The Human Centipede

You may want to add "nightmare inducing". Hilarious, but holy crap, I kind of wish I hadn't seen that...

I thought about that later. Yeh, I should have mentioned that.

Wow. At first it seemed a little cheesy so I thought it was a joke. Then it got darker and I still couldn't believe it was real. Then I went to the IFC site and it turns out it's definitely coming out on April 30. I am... surprised?

The Human Centipede looks revolting and silly, traits that were once catnip for me. I guess I'm mostly put off by the tone- too much metallic clanging on the soundtrack and a torture porn aesthetic. Makes me nostalgic for the days when such a concept would be treated with tongue in cheek humor, over the top visuals or a camp sensibility. (yes, it occurs to me that my choice of the phrase "tongue in cheek" was really unfortunate in this case.) I feel like I've seen enough would-be disturbing body mutilation horror in the Miike/Roth style to last me the rest of this lifetime, but I've got plenty of room left for more Cronenberg or Stuart Gordon. Heck, I want to see The Human Centipede as a musical by John Waters or a low budget fever dream by Stephen Sayadian. (thanks again for that one, mr. Pod!)
