Why do some people say The Human Centipede is a bad movie?

 It's rubbish.

The premise of the movie is inherently absurd; a mad scientist who wants to join three people together to create a single digestive system.

To do this, he kidnaps three people, slashes their tendons so they can't walk and sews the mouths of the second two people of the three to the anus of the person in front.

The idea being that when the first person defecates, this shoots into the person behind's mouth and so on down the line.

The biggest problem with this obviously intended to shock premise is that there is not a set of sutures in the world that would secure a person's mouth to another person's arse, certainly not in conditions like this where one's life was at stake. In reality, the persons in position two and three in the centipede would simply rip themselves free of the sutures and then proceed to beat the mad scientist to a richly deserved death. You would worry about bleeding and the like later; nobody is going to simply stay there on all fours and take a mouthful of runny shit, it's just not realistic. You would get your face away from that person's arse regardless of how painful tearing the sutures was.

It's a bit like understanding why necrosis makes zombie apocalypse stuff impossible; at that point you can no longer suspend your disbelief enough to find it scary. Gross, sure; scary, no.

Stuff like this is made purely for shock value. It has no artistic merit whatsoever, and doesn't even work as a horror film because nothing is left to your imagination. Which is always where the true horror is.

What are the special clauses of Bollywood celebrities before signing up for any movie?

 A Non Disclosure Agreement form has to be signed which has all the details about the project. Personal clauses are discussed and can be added. This is done in order to create transparency so that no issues are created further. However some of the clauses are based on personal level which the actors might change as per the situation. It’s just like being on the safe side at the start of the project.

Like, Not be able to shoot for a certain period of time due to stage shows or some other commitments.

SRK has a phobia of riding horses right from Baazigar and so he makes it sure that this clause is added.

Reports state that Aamir signed Dhoom 3 with a clause that it will be the last part of the series.

Salman as usual mentions no kissing scenes in his movie as he is uncomfortable doing them.

Sunny Leone too after giving hits said no for kissing scenes.

Akshay Kumar has a clause that the actor would not shoot on Sunday’s as he feels that spending time with family is also important.

Hrithik during Mohenjo-Daro demanded overtime charges extra other than his regular fees for extra work in case the film is delayed.

There can be a number of clauses like not sharing frame with a particular actor in the film, or not be able to be a part of promotion of film. This is done to avoid problems and an actor can overcome it as per the situation or a sort of adjustment.

What fact completely ruins a movie?

 Bombs with countdown timers. You are building a bomb. Why make it more complicated by adding a time display. You want it to go bang. What is the purpose of the display?

And cutting red and green wires. Why are you building it with colour-coded wires. Easy maintenance is not a requirement for bombs. Unnecessary complication. Just use one reel of wire, all the same colour. Less components to buy.

A real electronic timer.

Which actors and actresses have had their reputations ruined by a movie?

 I would argue Natalie Portman in Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, although it was more of a setback than anything else that she later recovered from. Portman played as Padme Amidala, who was Queen of the planet Naboo in Episode 1 and later became a Senator for Episode 2.

The film was panned by critics. I think that although there are some parts that could have been better, it was better than many critics said. *

14. Because Mike Nichols Shaped Generations of New York Actors, From Robert Redford to Julia Roberts

Portman: Star Wars had come out around the time of Seagull, and everyone thought I was a horrible actress. I was in the biggest-grossing movie of the decade, and no director wanted to work with me. Mike wrote a letter to Anthony Minghella and said, “Put her in Cold Mountain, I vouch for her.” And then Anthony passed me on to Tom Tykwer, who passed me on to the Wachowskis. I worked with Milos Forman a few years later. He said, “Mike saved me. He wrote a letter so that I could get asylum in the U.S.” He did that for 50 people, and it doesn’t make any one of us feel less special.

Portman’s career would later recover and she would go as far as to win an Academy Award for Best Actress in the film Black Swan, along with many other awards, but because Star Wars Episode 2 was not well received by critics, it represented a temporary setback.

What are some of the mistakes in famous movies that go unnoticed by audiences?

 Movie-Bahubali 2

Actually there are two mistakes I found in this movie.I saw you here.

First one is this…

Now everyone remember this scene?

This was the scene when in the full house Devsena was chained and brought in front of king Bhallaldev For her trial and sentence. In this scene, Bahubali was saying to Devsena that he who puts his hand on women his throat should be cut instead of his hand.

While saying that, Amarendra Baahubali took out his sword and cut the head of the army general and his headless body falls down on the floor.If you observe the scene properly, you cannot find a trace the blood in the scene.

This was the biggest mistake of this scene. Incidentally, this particular scene is considered one of the best scene in the movie and it won the heart of millions. Most of us didn't notice this particular mistake just because we all were engrossed in the story.

And another is this……

Anybody has hardly noticed that the place where Devsena was chained and kept there was no tree around. And, going by the look of the place and its cleanliness, it is hard to imagine from where the stray woods are coming into picture.

What fact completely ruins a movie?

 Typically in movies you see heroes breaking through glass mirrors or windows like this, more so in action flicks.

Only never even try such stunts in real life. Because what you see in movies is a special kind of glass called “Breakaway Glass”, or rather Sugar glass, a brittle transparent form of sugar thaat looks like glass. Though of late sugar glass has given way to a liquid plastic, made from a type of thermoplastic resin poured into silicon moulds to harden.

In real life if you try to break through a glass window, the result is more likely to be like this.

And unless you have some kind of super power, there is every chance of your hands or feet getting cut badly by one of the shards or edges, which also bears the weight of the glass. And you are more likely to land up in a hospital bed. Even worse those heavy shards of glass can act like a guillotine too at times on your neck,

The other scenario is that the glass does not shatter but rather stays cracked, and you decided to force your way through, again you could end up with a whole lot of cuts all over.

The windows you see in real life are made of regular glass that is quite thick, and needs a whole lot of pressure to shatter, even if the glass does not cut you, the impact could cause serious fractures.

What happens on TV all the time, but never happens in real life?

 Kids aren't like that. Especially as shown in the Indian TV serials.

1. Don't even get me started on this. To begin with, Diya (Tejaswi Prakash), an 18-year-old princess, is given the sole responsibility of Ratan Banna (Afaan Khan), the 9-year-old heir to a supposedly enviable Rajput empire, one that he stands the risk of losing his life over. Of course the only way for her to be able to protect him is to be his wife.

I’ll give you a moment alone with that logic. All they are depicting is a 10 year old stalking and romancing an adult girl.

2. They are always super excited and talk in annoyingly high pitched voice. Always.

3. Serials with a child protagonist always have him get bullied in the school because he/she is poor. He/she then vows to turn them into a good person and ends up making them their best friend. I would kick them right in the nuts.

4. Their problems? No, not homework or school projects. That's for like…babies. There everyday headache is how to get their fighting parents to reconcile and patch up. My problems were calculus, trigonometry and Archimedes principle.

5. Somehow they notice some sinister plot by the villain, investigate it better than the FBI would, get kidnapped, and yes..escape as easily as Jerry would from Tom's grasp. They would then reveal everything and save the day. I still watch Tom and Jerry.

6. Did I tell you they also specialize in dating advises. They would make their elder brothers or sisters realise their feelings and convince them to go and propose. My brother would whoop my ass if i even ask about his girlfriend.

7. And those evil children who conspire like evil geniuses that even Joker would come to shame. Then there is their smirking. I've never in my life seen a kid smirk and say huh with air of disgust. I still get fooled by my friends every April fool's day.

8. Fear. What's that. They would go to inspect where's the sound coming from dead in the middle of night. I still don't go to the bathroom alone if i can control it till morning.

9. They know how to use the smartphones and the laptops. I would play gilli danda at their age.

10. Bhagwan ji. Special connection between them and god and whatever they wish comes true. I'm still wishing for a girlfriend. Where are you god?

11. Girls with specks larger than their face and pony tail till waist. Boys with the typical spiky hair and broken incisors. My Dean still frowns if she sees me with a good haircut.

12. McDonald's, burger king, Domino's. Everyday.

13. Then there was this bullshit.

14. Those kids don't have to attend schools. They are most of the times seen playing around the house and jumping and dancing for no reason. I had 100% attendance till 10th .

At their age i was mostly doing this

---

Make no mistake , I'm not questioning the effort and hard work from these kids. They really are talented. There are some real good serials as well like Udaan( initially it was good,now it's like typical tv crap). But what the directors make them do just doesn't happen in real life.

What are the differences between The Thing (2011) and the original movie?

 In many ways The Thing (2011) does what a good follow-up film should do. It expands on the world. It doesn't overdo it on the amount of references to events that happened in the previous film. It upped up the action, the rush, the adrenaline. Did it better, actually.

It's just…meaningless as a whole. All the good stuff's already been done.

The Thing (2011) is a prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 sci-fi horror.

In the 1982 one, a group of scientists run into...something from out this world.

The Thing came from another research camp, which was in ruins. All its inhabitants done for.

2011 goes back to see the events that transpired in that ruined camp.

Basing on 2011,

Dislikes:

The dialogue was too on the nose at times, especially compared to 1982's dialogue, which felt more natural.

I think Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a good actress otherwise but I did not like how her character, and the guy-in-charge's character, spoke at times. Very...um.."lecture-y"instead of a casual tone suited for conversations, which was what they were having.

1982 had a certain charm in the way they made supposedly one of the least smartest guys - the pilot in a team of mostly scientists - figure out a brilliant way to test if someone had The Thing. 2011 had...the smart science person do it. Who could have seen that coming?

The effects did nothing for me. Maybe I'm just sick and tired of CGI, but I did not care for the special effects here, especially since 1982 excelled in using practical effects.

The characters. Most of them felt like "copies," parallels of characters in the 1982 one. They look similar. Some acted similar. Whatever for? There was no need for this. They could have created entirely new characters.

Like:

I like how they zeroed in on how The-Thing-Can't-Replicate-Inorganic-Matter angle to save themselves.

The Thing, 2011. Whole movie felt unnecessary. It added very little to an already fully-told story. It used too much CGI, which was a low bar to clear because any CGI is too much when compared to how 1982 did it.

If there's one Thing you can gain from reading through this slop, use it as a reminder to consider rewatching 1982 this weekend.

What's the most inaccurate movie, in terms of science?

 Alien.

The iconic, alien species from the Alien franchise, known as the Xenomorph has one of the most inaccurate lifecycles.

The xenomorph has 3 lifecycles

Egg -> Facehugger-> Chestburster-> Xenomorph.

The xenomorphs grow so fast, like really fast. They can grow into adults within few minutes or hours.

I find that highly unlikely to happen because a living organism can't reach adulthood so rapidly and without consuming anything.

The human hybrid xenomorph grow into adults in just few minutes. Growing upto 2.30 m tall just after being born.

A perfect organism still need time and energy to grow.

Which classic Bollywood movie character do you think still perfectly embodies the enduring spirit of common Indian people today?

Avtaar : This Indian classic (1983) narrates saga of common Indian couple (Rajesh Khanna and Shabana Azmi) ; who selflessly devote their money ; energy and time for their family members.

Dejected : Nevertheless, an accident changes his personal and family fortune.

His entire family starts treating him as a liability and often misbehaves with him.

Restart : Nevertheless, he restarts his life again with the help of his loving wife and a dutiful assistant.

By fate, he makes it big and becomes financially strong.

Re approach : No wonder, his family members want to accept him.

But : He flatly refuses them and donates all his wealth to social cause.

Facts :Many elders are maltreated by their family members.

Unlike past, money often decides personal relationship.

It is always good to be financially ; but also ethically strong.

Movie has good music ; superb acting ; cinematography.

Note : 1st Pic displays Avtaar in hindi language.

Why was the Bollywood movie "Teen Deviyan" awarded an 'A' certificate by the film censor board?

 I was shocked to know that Teen Devian was awarded an “A” Certificate. I have seen the film twice and decided to watch it again before drafting this answer.

There is on obscenity, vulgarity or voilence in the film which are the major reasons for an, “A” Certificate. There can be only one reason and it is the plot.

In Teen Devian, a charming Dev Anand falls in love with the three ladies simultaneously. Sounds strange, but this is the core plot of the movie. Dev Anand is not fooling them but genuinely likes all three of them for different reasons. Further he visits a hypnotist who takes him in a hypnotized state where he dreams and visualizes his future with each one of them and arrives at a decision. The film released in 1965 and the plot was way ahead of its time. A man falling in love with three ladies at a time can be the reason why it might have received an “A” Certificate.

Personally, I also feel that it's very important how you put up your point in front of the Censor Board. Guide released in the same year and it had a sub plot of an extra marital affair.

It was the time when woman would choose to stay in a bad marriage rather than leave her husband not only in films but also in real life. Still Guide was awarded an “U” Certificate. Therefore it becomes necessary how you convey your point to the Censor Board.

Whatever the reason, Teen Devian is a must watch film with great performances and good music. Though it is a black and white film, the hypnotized dream portion is shot in colour which is the crux of the film (some versions today have the portion in black and white). Just to add on, the film also had an English version but the print was never released. It was titled, “Oh Boys and Three Girls.”

What is the most gory horror movie ever made?

 Braindead/Dead Alive (Directed by Peter Jackson)

Bad Taste (Directed by Peter Jackson)

Planet Terror (Directed by Robert Rodriguez)

From Dusk Till Dawn (Directed by Robert Rodriguez)

Tokyo Gore Police and Ichi- The Killer

all of them were already mentioned.

I would add two more who are a bit overlook.

The 2007 French Splatter/Slasher À l’intérieur / Inside. This Film is not only very gory and disturbing, it has also great storyline and is really suspenseful.

The 2008 Horror The Midnight Meat Train directed by Ryuhei Kitamura and based on a short story from Clive Barker. This Film has a very interesting setting and a great Storyline and many Blood and Gore with Bradley Cooper as the Lead and Vinnie Jones as a evil butcher villain. One of my favourite films.
