A Movie Americans Love As Much As Congress

If there's anything Americans can find common ground in, it's our disgust with politics in 2019.  In Gallup's most recent poll, only 17% of Americans approve of the performance of Congress. Seventeen percent!

Good job, Senate.  And you too, House of Representatives, you little rascals. Have fun at recess. We have a President who fires people via tweet while he poops, but you go have a nice time while tax dollars pay you.

That's all I have to say about American politics. This blog is about literature, life, and other things. So, I have decided to write about a movie that critics hate as much as Americans hate Congress.

Human Centipede III




This movie was released in theaters on May 22, 2015, and earned $470 in the box office. The Human Centipede trilogy is a set of torture films in which the antagonists capture people in order to create human centipedes. Without getting too graphic, the human centipede involves surgically connecting humans in a grotesque manner...and there's the inevitable poop-swallowing...don't think about it too long...

Critics have not been kind to this movie, and audiences less so. Here's what critics and audiences have to say1:



Ok, we have reached a new low...


Absolutely terrible.


...must be seen to be believed...


...vile and terrifying...

Absolute dogshit.


Everyone was crazy but no one seemed to notice.


It gave me a slight chuckle once or twice and then it bombarded me with sheer hatred.


...the definition of torture porn.


I might have become a worse human being after being force fed this steaming pile of crap.


...there really are no redeeming features...

I did not see this movie, and I don't recommend it.  I read the spoiler, and I don't recommend that either. It's garbage.

This movie has the same approval rating as Congress.
