I wonder what he's thinking about Travolta following in Divine's footsteps:

And with the director of Bringing Down the House -- WATCH OUT!

I don't know how his post-Divine comic rhythms completely deserted him in A Dirty Shame.
Doesn't Ebert say everything before Polyester aren't "real movies," or some such? Very weird coming from a former Russ Meyer collaborator.

After his new Court TV show comes on the air, the wedding invitations will probably start drying up for filmmaker John Waters.
The pencil-mustached Waters is developing a series, "'Til Death Do Us Part," that will dramatize the events of a married couple where one spouse eventually kills the other.
ADVERTISEMENTWaters will star as "the groom reaper," appearing as an unexpected guest at the couple's wedding, then guiding viewers through the story as the relationship disintegrates. The series doesn't have a start date.
Court TV General Manager Marc Juris said Tuesday that Waters is expecting some fringe benefits from the role.
"He hates going to weddings," Juris said, "and figures by doing this show he'll never get invited to weddings."

I recently bought Pink Flamingoes on DVD and am a much happier man because of it.

Also this:An occasional actor himself, Mr. Waters will play the Groom Reaper, the Alfred Hitchcock-like host of Court TV’s first scripted series, “ ’Til Death Do Us Part,” beginning March 19.

Saw Pink Flamingoes tonight, it was fantastic! I wasn't quite sure I'd like it but it was way better than its rating on imdb would have you believe. I've heard about John Waters films for years, but just never got around to trying any. That's great stuff. I'm not familiar with his other films, only heard about them. I did however see the insane scene of the insect raping Divine in the "...Maniacs" flick on You Tube. I feel bad I didn't get that one at the video shop, though, cause I thought at first I would get that, and then I switched to Pink Flamingoes.
I remember seeing Divine perform a song on some British TV programme in the 80's.

Imagine that. Desperate Living and Female Trouble for you, next.

I presume he'd make an exception for invading armies.
If you're traveling, you can't be racist... You can't be homophobic. I think the only way you can be racist or homophobic is if you never leave the neighborhood you were born in, and you hang around with stupid people. So I've always thought that someone who was really racist should be sentenced to travel, but that's not very practical."

No. Which was probably a good thing since they looked a little sickly already. Besides, they just wanted to read... ALOUD. They gave me some little booklets and I tossed them onto the stack of Playboys, Road & Tracks, Exotics, and Crawls in the bathroom.

By Gregg Goldstein
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Johnny Knoxville and Parker Posey are attached to star in John Waters' Christmas film "Fruitcake."
The plot is under wraps but is said to center on the title character, a boy named after his favorite dessert. He runs away from home during the holidays after he and his parents are caught shoplifting meat, then meets a runaway girl raised by two gay men and searching for her birth mother.

I met John Waters on Saturday in Provincetown! We were there for a friends bachelorette party and said bachelorette happens to be a HUGE JW fan. We were drinking outside on a patio when I saw him leave the restaurant so I went up to him, explained the situation and asked for a photo. He was very nice and agreed but sadly wouldn't pose with Big Joe our blow up doll companion for the night. Will post pic when I get a copy.

No posing with Big Joe! Well perhaps he wasn't in the mood.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 2 June 2008 14:01 (sixteen years ago) link
x-post! It was my first time in P-town and it was awesome. The town is seriously cute and charming and so much fun. You should definitely go if you a chance. The John Waters thing was great esp since my friend and I are huge fans. It was perfect.
― ENBB, Monday, 2 June 2008 14:03 (sixteen years ago) link
He said he was sure it would end up photoshopped and on the internet if he posted with Big Joe. Hahaha.
