This is a normal post From a poll that rates Belgium as funnier than Britain?
"Commenting on Britain’s poor showing in the survey Mr Price said the international perception of the UK was a country whose people were uptight and reserved." Really?..

To be honest, I find both Brits and Germans funny mainly because they actually have a very similar sense of humour; both like word games like puns etc. And both have a love of a good groaner.
That kind of stuff doesn't translate well hence why other nations don't get it.

I actually like when you've got some old retired lass in the street as they tend to feel they have nowt to lose when someone's being an anti social prick and step out to tell 'em off, but there IS a limit, and for me, this would be it.

Jeez, fancy someone keeping a diary of everything you ever do including sexual activities and the car regs of those involved in them, how fuckin creepy is that!?

BTW anyone see the Daily Fail tried to get Sandy Toksvig (notorious self-professed lesbian with 3 children!) done for 'profanity' by whipping up some reader hysteria for the joke 'The Tories, putting the 'N' into 'Cuts" on The News Quiz on Radio 4.

Last I looked this was from a long line of time honoured english double entendre humour and the fact that you as a listener understand the joke and get the unsaid word of image IN YOUR MIND does not mean it was actually said or shown!

Never the less as ever MPs and the folks in power generally feel the need to jump 'cos The Fail has spoken... *sigh*

A tad more measured version of events too, with some differing factoids, but it does still sound like the bitch got a problem with other people who still have a life to live near her!

I have to wonder at times if there ain't a good argument for actually sub-dividing residential areas into age groups, like the council in Leeds had terrible trouble up-keeping some ancient old concrete flats of the '60s hi-rise variety which were awful dives of drugs, burglary and general anti-social wankery, till they had the brainwave to make them exclusively for OAPs, and now they're a tranquil paradise of quiet reflection where the only smashed windows come with bad weather and the lift always works and only smells of wee after old Mrs Smith had an accident again... ;)

Where the producers divide contestants into Blingers, Mingers and Clingers - cynically grooming and exposing the vulnerable in their pursuit of 'good telly'.

It would be better for the kid to escape the clutches of the Talent Machine soonest possible - but he won't. According to insiders the contracts contestants sign mean that they belong to the programme makers until they are squeezed dry of any publicity potential.

Get this - even if they win, they have to hand back their prize money in return for all the 'coaching costs' incurred during the contest, it's in the contract.

A Serbian Film was proper fucked-up. This Centipede sequel reads a bit *meh* in comparison. However in my opinion the popular Hostel movies are even more morally-bankrupt than the two put together. Probably why I'm mostly-watching Spongebob theses days.

This is a normal post Remember reading a bit of an interview with a BBFC reviewer once
99% of what they review is pure trash for straight-to-DVD, and a lot of it is horrific garbage. Only rarely do they actually get to review a nice art film or a blockbuster. Because they see graphic uncut violence and depravity day in day out they have to have regular counselling sessions.

Nice. Maybe a career in movies isn't for me.

This is a normal post But they know they are watching special effects.
If I see someone punched in the street, I feel sick - I mean it really does my head in, and it'll stay with me. But if I see someone graphically murdered in a film, it doesn't bother me at all, apart from maybe a wince as it happens.

This is a normal post I think it's the depravity of the idea
rather than the realism of the violence which has the most horrific lasting effect.

I was going to put his here as an example but the more I read about this the more it actually sounds like quite a good film:

This is a normal post Antichrist is a genius piece of cinema.
It looks beautiful and makes you think quite deeply about some pretty heavy issues. But yeah, there are some unsettling images.

edit: also, depraved ideas are nothing new, and have had a hugely important role to play in popular fiction, theatre, films and art throughout history. With dark, disturbing themes often comes truth and insight. Your pals at the BBFC should probably stay away from Marquis De Sade writings, Bosche paintings, any Grand-Guignol theatre, modern writers like Palahniuk, and even old poets like Poe. Much depravity to be had. I love it.

This is a normal post Oh, bullshit.
Its easy to become desensitised to special-effects gore. It's also easy to differentiate between real violence and SFX. It takes a serious amount of budget and skill to make on-screen ultra-violence seem even remotely realistic. If an onscreen special-effect causes you to need counselling in this day and age, then you're a fucking infant.

Remember, these are the same people who gave the first Spider-Man movie a 12 rating, meaning that kids couldn't watch a movie that was clearly aimed at kids. I was working as a cinema usher at the time; my job became "bouncer" as a result of that absurd ruling. The 12 rating was given because of the big fight at the end, in which Spidey gets battered a bit and some blood is shown. Oh, noes! Who will think of the childrens!

This would have been at least faintly supportable, had there not been a Star Wars movie showing at the same time in which people got their fucking arms cut off, and died through stab-wounds and being FUCKING CUT IN HALF . . . and yet the Phantom Menace was given a PG rating. The so-called "rules" were insupportable bullshit.

I personally complained to the BBFC, because I was fed up with having to physically defend my female, teenaged co-workers from actual violence by parents who thought that it was their decision to smuggle their toddlers into the film, laws be damned, and would turn nasty - i.e., physically violent - whenever we pointed out that precious little Alfie (they're always called Alfie) was barely twelve inches tall, let alone twelve years old.

People have a bizarre notion that cinemas should bend to their will, and that they are completely in charge once they've bought their tickets, regardless of the law.

And watching a film about people being forced to shit into each others mouths wouldn't be a pleasant experience, regardless of how easily you can 'differentiate between real violence and SFX.' If you can't grasp that, then you're worse than a fucking infant (not really, I just felt it appropriate to respond in kind)

What pissed me off about that film the most was that they apparently hired Junji Ito as a consultant. Junji Ito has produced some of the most horrifying, and original, ideas of this century or the last. A second-rate movie like this just sullies his name.

Seriously, look up his name and read his manga (I'm not a fan of manga myself, but for crying out loud, read his stuff and you won't sleep for a week).

This is a normal post Facist censors! What ever happened to free speech??!!
...Examples of this include a scene early in the film in which he masturbates whilst he watches a DVD of the original Human Centipede film, with sandpaper wrapped around his penis, and a sequence later in the film in which he becomes aroused at the sight of the members of the ‘centipede’ being forced to defecate into one another’s mouths, culminating in sight of the man wrapping barbed wire around his penis and raping the woman at the rear of the ‘centipede’.

OK. Fair one. Bleeeuuurrgh.

This is a normal post The directors are the real winners here.
To shamelessly rip someone else's comment:

The Guardian article wrote,"The BBFC's decision to ban Tom Six's shock-horror film lays bare a phobia about violence, but only when it's sexual."

Reading the interview with Six for the original film, I think this was exactly the phobia he was aiming at. That for most people, true horror lay in the threat of "being interfered with". In some ways, the catharsis in most horror films is when the victim dies - it would be more horrible, and horrific, to continue living after mutilation than to die, and in context, death becomes the happy ending. That ending doesn't really happen here, and is amplified by the mundane fashion in which the victims become victims.

And if the film was truly meant as a piece of art, it's banning by the BBFC on these grounds, without viewing, and from all possible forms of distribution, is the finishing touch. The two films offer an analysis of what true horror is: the fantasy of something ghastly happening to you in the first, and the post-modernist nightmare of what the consequence of watching such a film could be. Then, like the final part of the triptych, is the banning of this second film by the BBFC.

It achieves brilliance as art by being banned. The happy ending is the confirmation that it's not real because the horror can be stopped, not by a hero with a gun in side the film, but by a judicial board outside of it. If the horror rests on the concept of ultimate victim-hood, the final message and ultimate rescue is that the horror can be destroyed by an act of personal control and will (the deducted judgement of a voting panel set up within a democratic society).
