Refuse to watch any of the centipede films, and certain other horrors. I read the IMDb or wiki for 'A Serbian Film' after seeing it mentioned on the Guardian talk boards (Gawd rest its soul), thinking how could anything be worse than Hostel.
Just that was enough to freak the hell out of me. Not necessary. Not a powerful art house indictment of whatever bollocks the maker was trying to justify himself with. Just sick. Some things are just sick.
Talking of sick fucks making shock cinema, someone mentioned kidnap victims eating their own faeces. Possibly 'Salo', some bollocks based on Sade witterings. This time wiki-hopping found that.
Hey, if grown consenting adults want to hurt the fuck out of each other, with the emphasis on 'consenting' and 'adults', if that's their bag, that's their bag. Up to them.
But in my humble opinion, some things just shouldn't be made. I'm pretty open-minded, but if I met someone with centipede films, ASerbianFilm and Salo on their DVD shelves, I probably wouldn't want to be friends with them...
