Don't you just know that there'll be a porn parody - if there hasn't been already... :shock:
 
Don't you just know it'll be Timble, Ronson and Feen. :lol:
 
Not available in my country. :(

phew


:lol:
 
Yesterday I bought a set of 3 remote controlled sockets. They came in a box, all plugged into each other. Like, y'know, a human centipede. :lol:

Well, that's what I thought. I've shown them to a few people and asked 'Guess what film it is?' :D but nobody's got it so far.




So, it's just me, then.
 
Human Centipede II... filmed in the UK... BANNED in the UK...

BBFC report

It is the Board’s carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to this work, even if confined to adults, would be inconsistent with the Board’s Guidelines, would risk potential harm within the terms of the VRA, and would be unacceptable to the public.

An impressive and doubtlessly worked for achievement, getting a movie banned these days is a tough gig. :roll:

Having read a description of what takes place in the movie... yeah. It's not worth getting your free speech hats on. It really isn't.
 
But what always gets me is a movie is banned because we will be "harmed" if we watch it , so what about the censors? are they immune to this harm?
And after watching the red baron last night i think the censors should have put a DANGER THIS IS A POXY LOVE STORY WITH BITS OF FLYING N SHOOTING TACKED ON sticker.(there was a warning for sexualized nudity but i must have missed that :twisted:
 
What amuses me about censorship is the case of A Clockwork Orange.

Unless I have grossly misunderstood Burgess I saw the book as being a warning of a Dystopian future to come whereby gangs of feral youths roam the streets running amok. A sort of look what we could end up as... cautionary tale.

When the film came out there was shock and horror and it was banned due to fears that it would influence people to imitate the actions on screen and lead to the crumbling of society and moral decay.

And so with the film version of the book intended to offer a nightmare vision of a possible future banned for our own safety the UK lived happily ever after and turned out beautifully and not at all like the vision Kubrick offered up... oh, wait a minute.

:lol:

Of course, I'm not suggesting HC2 is showing us a terrible future we may be heading towards.

However, having read the synopsis - and I was actually very surprised by its premise - I can see a potential redeeming argument for it.

It may be sick, exploitative nonsense... but then again, the original was a straight up film portraying, for entertainment, an extreme scenario of human depravity. Sick, twisted, but just a film.

The sequel, by all accounts, breaks the third wall and offers up the story of a - surely - disturbed viewer who becomes obsessed with the film and decides to act it out himself in reality.

It opens up interesting questions of what is more deplorable. A horror scenario in an unreal world presented for mass consumption as a piece of art or the actions of a disturbed individual in the real world. Potential to further the debate as to whether such individuals would act out in such a way eventually regardless or whether cinema/literature/music provides the inspiration and trigger for such acts. Legitimising them on screen/print/audio file and thus tipping the depraved mind into action.

Of course, alternatively, you could just go down the Ban This Sick Filth path...
 
Did the media get bored of the whole 'video nasties' thing after they finished milking Child's Play as supposedly possibly maybe influential in the Bulger murder?

it's surprising what's been unbanned in recent years without much fuss. seeing Pasolini's 120 Days of Sodom on the shelf in HMV a few years ago was kind of :shock:

It wasn't banned in the UK, director Stanley Kubrick withdrew it when he got cold feet about how it was embraced by the unlovelier members of society, and supposedly he received death threats which made up his mind that the film wasn't to be shown till after his death.

I actually didn't mind the first Human Centipede as much as I thought I would, because it was incredibly stupid and obviously meant to provoke the gag reflex, not a crime in itself and not much different to H.G. Lewis's original tacky gorefests of the 60s. This sequel sounds as if it's doing the same, but I wouldn't have a problem with adults watching it who knew what they were letting themselves in for. Wasting their cash, probably.
 
Heads up Guys, The Human Centipede comes to Movies24 tonight, at 1AM

Eric Roberts talks 'Human Centipede 3': 'It's REALLY horrible'

“It was far out,” said Roberts. “We have a centipede that is made of prison inmates, and they’re all hooked together. When you see this, you will never want to commit a crime and go to prison. It’s really horrible.” Roberts declined to say much about his character — “I’m sworn to secrecy” — but revealed that shooting the third and, according to writer-director Tom Six, probably last of the Human Centipede films was a surreal experience. “If you can imagine a hot summer day,” he said, “and there are hundreds of men all bent over and they consist of the human centipede.”

Get out of my head Eric Roberts!

From what I've read of US prisons that's just what happens when everybody drops their soap in the shower at the same time.
