    Roger Ebert says this is the most negative film review he has ever read

    Ali Arikin on Slant thinks watching  "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is a worse experience than the time he spotted maggots crawling from the chicken breast he was eating:

    One of the worst films of all time, On Stranger Tides has absolutely and utterly no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I wanted to say it's like watching an enema, but even that's a good thing: you get rid of the filth. Instead, here, you are force-fed shit, then made to regurgitate it, and then eat it again. It's as if you were cloned, and the clones shared the same consciousness, and then were turned into the human centipede, but instead of three, this centipede is endless. It's not so much pain, though there's that, too, but, instead, nausea.

    What can I say about it? There are pirates and movie stars and ships and mermaids and whatever. Something about the Fountain of Youth. I don't know. I don't fucking care anymore. And this is not a review, anyway (I walked out of the movie, the first time I've done that since, fucking hell, Mr. Magoo). It is an exercise in free association: a collection of thoughts and feelings that I have to grapple with in the wake of a traumatic experience. Shiver me cunting timbers.

    The film has no scope, no imagination, no sense of wonder. It's just a product, and it's a product for the international audiences more than the U.S. ones; like most of Hollywood's latest major product, it sets sails for these morally dubious shores. It's like a circus geek show, but instead of the geek biting the head of a chicken, in this one, he shits in your mouth.

    Hey, quit dissing "The Human Centipede."
