I have given up on movies [1 hour to 2 hours].

Just the 15 minute arkansas squids without teeth on a bar fight.

I am 1/4 quarter Arky so forgive me.

[squidbillies is an animated television series about the Cuylers, an impoverished family of anthropomorphic hillbilly squids living in the Appalachian region of North Georgia's mountains.

[squidbillies follows the exploits of the Cuyler family and their interactions with the local populace, which usually results in a fair amount of destruction, mutilation, and death. The Cuylers are given essentially free rein and protected from the consequences of their actions whenever possible by the Sheriff, as they are said to be the last, twisted remnants of a Federally-protected endangered species, the "Appalachian Mud Squid". They live in the Southern Appalachian Mountains located in Northern Georgia.

Themes include the family's overt racism against white people (Chalkies), Early's dalliances with Krystal, their sketchy friendship with the Sheriff, run-ins with celebrities, their crushing poverty, and the machinations of corporate executive Dan Halen. The series has very little continuity: storyline progression and character development are present to an extent, but characters are frequently killed or seriously injured and return unharmed—often without explanation, and sometimes in the very same episode.[citation nee

it has a certain creepout factor to it which makes it not unappealing,

And Marquis de Sade were he,s the diector and a actor.

[Keir Dullea, in his first film role since 2001: A Space Odyssey, plays the title character in a film characterized by its psychedelic imagery and go-go sensibilities. As the dying Marquis recalls his life out of sequence, he is terrorized by his uncle and haunted by his own past of debauchery.

John Huston appears as the Abbé de Sade.]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Centipede_%28First_Sequence%29

9The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is a 2010 Dutch horror film written and directed by Tom Six. The film tells the story of a German doctor who kidnaps three tourists and joins them surgically, mouth to anus, forming a "human centipede". It stars Dieter Laser as the villain, Dr. Heiter, with Ashley C. Williams, Ashlynn Yennie, and Akihiro Kitamura as his victims. According to Six, the concept of the film arose from a joke he made with friends about punishing child molesters by stitching their mouths to the anus of a "fat truck driver." Six also stated that inspiration for the film came from Nazi medical experiments carried out during World War II, such as the actions of Josef Mengele at Auschwitz concentration camp.

When approaching investors prior to filming, Six did not mention the mouth-to-anus aspect of the plot, fearing it would put off potential backers. The financiers of The Human Centipede did not discover the full nature of the film until it was complete. The film received mixed reviews from mainstream film critics, but it won several accolades at international film festivals. The film was released in the United States on a limited release theatrically on 30 April. Six began working on a sequel, The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence), which is scheduled to be released in 2011, but has been refused a classification for distribution in the United Kingdom.]
