I see what you did there.
I didn’t do that on purpose. I’m not even sure how it compares…like…someone’s butt is wrapped around your head when you’re a centipede?
This article on Encyclopedia Dramatica should help, Slit.

Okay…that makes sense. So they’re basically stitched in. But as others point out–how do they breathe? And is it really medically accurate–I mean, how would we ever know?
Also, why do the kneecap thing? It’s not like they’re going to be standing up anyway with all that going on.
I’m not even sure why I care enough to ask. This seems to raise so many questions but if it, once it’s there, it’s there. There’s not a lot else to think about.
Or if you’re worried about going to Melon’s links - yes, it’s face-to-butt, GI tracts stitched together via grafting (and unhealthy doses of movie [del]magic[/del]BS).
Edit: Too late. I’m assuming the noses are free and that the insane doc has - hopefully - installed some kind of bypass that separates the respiratory bits in the throat from the digestive ones.
As Ferret said, the idea is that they breathe through their noses.
Okay.
I wonder if he cleaned them off before he stitched them. You know…dingleberry. OK, moot point, considering he’s going to MAKE them poop.
How long does it take before a diet of feces gives you E coli? Oh, ew, now I’m thinking of vomiting and choking on it, and…
I have to stop clicking on this thread. (I know, I’m not going to.)
If ever there was a need to add the subtitle Electric Boogaloo I’m pretty sure this qualifies.
Depends on the amount of peanut butter in their diets.
Well, this is a compelling reason to join the union.
Never, never sign anything without reading it (and the script!) first!
:eek:
I can’t express how much I hate shady, dishonest filmmakers.
I find the idea of this movie absolutely appalling, but Ebert’s dispassionate review of it made me laugh. He even included a little diagram.
A point I first raised 'way back in post #11.
Oh yeah, Cal, I saw. I didn’t mean to say that I was the first to intro the idea of vomiting–just that I can’t stop thinking of it and it’s skeeving me out.
Just in case you’ve ever envied the life of a film critic “Oh, you just watch movies all day!” remember…they have to also watch movies like this one.
Presumably so they can’t just stand up and run away. Otherwise they’d be out the door the second the doctor’s back is turned.
And, a sequel? Really? I wouldn’t have thought so with
the doctor being killed and everyone dying and all, but maybe there’s a whole underground group of people who want to centipedify unwilling victims. :rolleyes:
(Am I the only one here who has actually seen this film?)
How would they stand up, though? Like, would person A stand and persons B and C just kind of crawl behind him?
Ebert doesn’t have to though, he said something along those lines on his website.
I watched the film, well, I had it on in the background while playing GTA on my DS. I’d agree more with the IGN review, boring rather than shocking.
The dude Laser is made for these sort of films and the shooting location was well chose. It played out pretty much as a cheap mad scientist thriller would, complete with awkward, “they’re about to get away but don’t” chase scene.
What bugged me most was the attitude of the creator to women, which seemed a tad misogynistic. I was surprised to see what I thought was the director’s wife appearing in the credits, but Google tells me it was his sister, Ilona. So there’s the biggest question raised by the film, is Tom a woman hater, or just eternally adolescent?
If this movie doesn’t sweep every major Oscar category then we will know for sure how corrupt that system really is.
Well, it’s certainly got the Best Picture Featuring Disgustingly Bizarre But Ultimately Implausible Group Surgery category locked up.
It is up against the new Shrek movie, isn’t it?
