Apparently I made  an horrific horror film, but shouldn&#8217;t a good horror film be horrific?<\/p>\n<p>My  dear people it is a fucking MOVIE. It is all fictional. Not real. It is  all make-belief. It is art. Give people their own choice to watch it or  not.<\/p>\n<p>If people can&#8217;t handle or don&#8217;t like my movies they just  don&#8217;t watch them. If people like my movies they have to be able to see  it any time, anywhere, also in the UK.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I will readily admit that based on the BBFC&#8217;s initial statement I realized that Human Centipede II wasn&#8217;t the film for me. But I certainly wouldn&#8217;t want to stop anyone else from seeing it who wanted to. I have a feeling we&#8217;ll be talking more about this story when it comes time for IFC Films to try and get the film passed through the Motion Picture Association of America&#8217;s own ratings board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">&#8220;Thank you BBFC for putting spoilers of my movie on your website.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2011\/06\/08\/human-centipede-ii-director-responds-to-british-ban\/\" title=\"HUMAN CENTIPEDE II Director Responds To British Ban\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[3794,3795],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14361","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-the-human-centipede-ii","8":"tag-tom-six"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14361\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14361"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=14361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
