You know how sometimes you feel in a certain way and you desperately want to feel something different, anything at all, really, anything but the thing you're feeling? Yeah, I tried that this summer. And I figured the best way to feel something different - or to feel anything at all for that matter - was to get myself shit-scared. And so I went through long, long lists of recommendations for scary, weird, eerie, uncanny, shocking, and also plain gross. And you know what, either I am a monster, or this strategy sucks.
First of all, let me admit that this summer I watched The Evil Dead, and then I watched The Killer Shrews. That was, however, before I felt the need to change the way I felt; I watched these, because... hell, I don't know why I watched these. But The Evil Dead helped me understand The Cabin in the Woods a bit better. Oh, I also watched The Shrine and if you need a laugh, I would strongly recommend that one. A whole new perspective on Poland, my friends. Gotta love Canadians.
And then I started watching disturbing things. I went through about thirty titles that were supposed to shake me. They had one job. Things like The Serbian Film, Gruz 200, I Saw the Devil, Cannibal Holocaust, The Poughkeepsie Tapes, Martyrs, Inside, Audition, and yes, The Human Centipede. I did see The Human Centipede. And let me tell you something. Ever since I saw that one, I am imagining anyone who has ever wronged me as the middle segment one of the many middle segments of my very own centipede that I am constructing in my head, and it is one damn long mofo. But apart from that - nothing. "This movie totally stays with you" - it didn't. "It will keep you awake for months on end" - no. "Guys, do not watch this movie, it is sick" - I guess I am sick too. I got nothing. And I am seriously asking myself this question, am I sick? I had medical tests for work recently and they said I was fine, but nobody asked me whether I was imagining human centipedes. Why don't they ask those questions before allowing anyone to go and work with people?
Anyhow, clothes.
