I have finite hours in the day so if I'm going to go out of my way to see a film something has to spark my interest enough to get me to go there in the amount of time I have free to see a film.

Sometimes that's down to recommendation, sometimes that's pure whimsy, sometimes it's to test my preconceptions (I sat through all the Austin Powers films at the request of a friend, after shamefully prejudging them as not being worth me seeing them...I was right but I put hours of my life into hopefully proving myself wrong).

I don't need to put on a movie to feel the sort of emotions I got from the trailer of Human Centipede (their are plenty of documentaries about real life nutjobs who performed acts like that in the death camps during WWII, which I presume the film makes a nod to). If I were to watch the film with my reservations already there it would have to be in some way a rewarding experience to be worth my time.

Warb as I recall was already in two minds about if he should or shouldn't watch The Exorcist (his interest had been peeked enough to consider the exercise). He didn't think his mind would be warped or his faith shaken by watching it he was just weighing up the pros and cons.

If I found myself in that sort of situation with The Human Centipede I would probably just watch it but currently I'm of the opinion of all the things I could do with my finite number of evenings, watching a film based on that premise currently doesn't excite my interest enough to break through my initial reaction to the central idea.

Chill man...

It's a shit film anyway, so I wouldn't bother  ;)

Also, aren't you afraid of what might happen when the kid grows big enough and strong enough to hit you back? 

Why would he want to do that? He gets the odd smack on the arse...nothing heavy!!

My son gets told off on a regular basis when with his two sisters.

On his own he's the perfect child, as soon as sister no 1 is on the scene, things change...

That's kids....I Love 'em to death, but sometimes they drive you up the wall!!
