Unable to resist, I also read the Wikipedia entry. My reaction was much the same as Jilli's.

However, I have the same reaction to movies like Saw as Teppy. It's only reasonably realistic horrors that scare and squick me.

However however, the *thought* of Saw was actually worse than the movie. (I only watched the first one.)

What does it say about me that my response was "That sounds like a kind of boring premise for a horror movie. What, was the writer a 9 year old boy?"

I want those reactions. Thanks for posting them. Seriously. It helps me feel less alone and trapped in my head with my reaction to it.

ION, crap, it's after midnight. Gotta go to bed.

Sorry, Teppy. I dislike that those kind of torture porn films are lumped into the horror genre. I like scary monsters, aliens and stuff. NOT sicko human on human freak-o shit. I can't even get a smile out of the campier aspects of it. I just get wrapped up in the "gah, humans, they suck" aspect and then spiral down.

Then I need to go hug a vampire or a werewolf.

I would like to note that The Human Centipede is a total misnomer. It only had six legs! It was the human termite or something.

It did have twelve limbs, but if we're going to count that way, centipedes only have one pair of limbs per segment. We'd need to rename it The Human Millipede. And then probably add a lot more segments.

On the down side, some tin pot dictator in some horrible little country is trying to figure out how to do it. But first they'll focus on cloning themselves.

He could combine the projects. I'm just saying! "Grovel, my minions, before the self-replicating conga line of ME!" That'd be more of a human flatworm deal though.

::snerk:: This, too, helps my brain be less horrified.

This is totally me.

Hmmm. I can't decide which vampire to hug!

I have trouble choosing between Eric Northman and Selene from Underworld.

Avoid the sparkly ones.

Yep, me too. Which is why I don't watch stuff from that genre. The "humans suck" part, plus the "wow, this is kind of a boring story. Why bother?" If I'm watching horror, I want it to be interesting and inventive, thanks.

I agree with this statement, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I want 'em naked or wrapped in leather & latex.

I ate two cupcakes--the rejected one from the bake sale dozen I had to do. Probably a mistake this late.

Well, and then I apologized for cringiness much later in life, and the apology was all for me and not at all helpful to her. So the best thing would have been to just let it go. She`d forgotten and so should I have.
 
In amongst the other hot gossip about old schoolmates I got over this weekend, I also learned that my childhood bully who I refused to facebook friend is still a complete asshole. Was an asshole to my friend during her first bout with cancer. Seriously? So I feel no need to forgive her or try to find closure or anything. She was and remains a horrible person and I`m happy she`s no longer anywhere near my life.
