Title: How come John Waters is a HORRIBLE filmmaker, but the funniest/coolest guy?

He's so entertaining off the set - I'd watch reality show on him easy.

Dont bother telling us why you think he's so funny or anything.

it was also hugely entertaining as grotesque spectacles go, unlike transformers

It's just a grotesque spectacle, Prole.  I can't really find it entertaining or enlightening.  And it doesn't even have transforming robots!

I've just seen him on various things the past couple of weeks and he seems like the embodiment of "real talk".  I think his films are just stupid, but I appreciate that he likes to push boundaries.

I like that one where Mink Stole and that taco lookin skinny guy kidnap girls, chain them up in their dungeon, get them pregnant by raping them with turkey basters and then sell the kids to lesbian couples who want to adopt....

I also like that scene in Pink Flamingoes where Mink Stole eats out that 425 LB black woman.....

EDIT - thats "Desperate Living" where mink stole takes that big black momma on down to o-town. ITs not a scene from Pink Flamingoes...

A bit of Divine trivia - he was supposed to play Peggy's cousin from Wanker County (remember the flaming fat shaved head guy in the ascott who would come visit the bundys?) on married with children - and then he died...

I think divine would have made that show 4x gold playing peggy gay cousin from wanker county...

Willco is on crack.  He's hit and miss from the 80s on, but his 70s material is tops.  And there's not a moment of Pink Flamingos that isn't entertaining.

You think Salo is entertaining, though.  I would argue that you are on crack!  It's cool that you like that fringe perversion stuff, but that doesn't make him a quality filmmaker!

Yeah, he needs more explosions and render farms.

John Waters armed with pyrotechnics and computer generated special effects actually scares me.

Are you trying to imply that Pasolini isn't a quality director now?

You at least implied a connection between liking Salo and liking John Waters movies when the only connection between the two is abundant nudity.  How American of you to view nudity as a negative trait for a movie to have.
Title: Re: How come John Waters is a HORRIBLE filmmaker, but the funniest/coolest guy?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on July 21, 2008, 09:05:35 PM
Nudity is not my problem with either film!

My point was to illustrate that you find Salo entertaining, which has no bearing on Pasolini as a filmmaker (and to that effect, I've only seen two of his films, so I can't really judge on that), but rather the kind of content you are drawn to.

ITS OKAY I FORGIVE YOU.

I'm not even sure I would describe Salo as entertaining, though.  It's certainly a very interesting movie, but it is difficult to watch.

if you judge pink flamingos on its cinematography or its acting, it fails spectacularly, but the plot and spectacle are beyond fuck-all awesome. best castration scene ever! second best incestuous blowjob ever! BEST FAT PEOPLE FUCKING WHILE CRUSHING LIVE CHICKENS BETWEEN THEIR HEAVING BULKS EVER.


edit: come the fuck ON. the movie is about a pair of homicidal hillbillies with neon hair and a side business selling heroin to kids when they aren't impregnating hitchikers with the seed of the family gimp to sell to lesbian couples who decide that divine isn't REALLY the world's filthiest person and set out to reclaim the crown, only to discover to their fatal horror that they were WRONG DEAD WRONG. you couldn't write that in a million years.

And the chowing down of feces.

Also Waters' films are and acquired taste. They're trashy but intentionally so. His films are good for what they are, trash cinema. It's like Kaufman's Troma films, you either love the depravity or you don't

Crackers wasn't fat, but yeah. 

I still quote the movie from time to time, even though I don't think people know what I'm talking about.

i had never seen it, but i had read all about it before, so i knew what was coming

i could have warned everyone, but i didn't because i wanted to see their reactions

True story:  my friend and I were working on a treatment for a flick when I left Atlanta last year where the main character's conscience is represented by John Waters dressed in a shitty halloween devil costume, that only he can see.  We figured it was the sort thing he might want to do.
