This conversation happened a few days ago.

Son : Mom, have you watched the movie, The Human Centipede?
Moi : LOL!! You're joking. There's no such movie.
Son : There is!! I'm serious!!
(Please note that these "you're kidding"s and "I'm not"s went back & forth for quite a while)
Moi : Right...... So what's it about?
Son : It's a horror film.
Moi : Hmmm.... go on.
Son : There is this mad scientist who kidnaps and surgically joins 3 persons, mouth to anus.
Moi : Shut up!! That's so lame. You're bluffing!!
Son : (laffs) No, really. Here.... (passes me his iPhone) I wiki-ed it for you.
Moi : (reads)....................................What.The.Fuck?!! (Bad mom curses in front of son. LOL!!) Who the fuck makes this type of crap??!!
Son : Well, this Dutch (Moi : It's actually German) director did.
Moi : And you watched it??
Son : For the 1st 30 minutes. Then my friend and I skipped to the ending.
Moi :  So what happened?
Son : The first person and the last person died. The one in the middle survived. I bet she wished she was dead!! (laffs)
Moi : I think I'm gonna throw up. So what happened to the mad scientist??
Son : I dunno. I think he escaped.
Moi : You mean he didn't die??? (Moi : He was killed. I read the whole damn wiki entry in the end just to make this post.)
Son : I'm not sure cos I skipped all the way to the end. (snorts)

The conversation went on for a while. Actually it's one sided. I was going on and on about why these people (if you can call them that) are allowed to make such disturbing movies. And I also told my son that I'm embarrassed that he actually watched such crap. He defended himself saying they were really bored and they did not watch the whole show. Yeah....whatever. My tirade went on for a while and my son was pretty amused. Such directors should be shot!!

Google it, ladies and gentlemen. It's for real........ *headdesks*

Forget about the Mad Scientist. What about the Mad Producer? I'm usually okay with people letting the creepy stuff out of their ids in an artistic medium where it's small and controllable and they can exercise their higher human sentience over the outcome to make it better. The trouble is, this is unleashed on an actual audience — or at least on the people who actually make a point of responding to their curiosity and clicking on the gross-fest, as though the ickiness of the summary isn't enough to ward them off — and we have to absorb, transcend and transform it, as though there isn't enough madness in the real world to work through.

You're absolutely right. And the most frustrating thing about this is that there is absolutely no way whatsoever to prevent such movies from being unleashed.

How can someone come up with such a disturbing storyline, get funding for it (maybe it's his own money, who knows), find willing actors to act in it and all that jazz? It's a crime!!!

And the saddest thing, not forgetting disgutsing as well, is that there is a part 2.
