And now, a quick note on Myers-Briggs personality...

I still miss Favrd sometimes, and I'll tell you...

The Human Centipede Live Movie Review →
In which @paulverhoeven and @lukeayresryan take in the film ‘Human Centipede’. Twist? One must watch it while listening to happy gleeful music, while the other listens to the film while blindfolded.
