A Dirty Shame!!

strandinthewind · #1 09-24-2004, 09:05 PM

I just got back home from seeing John Water's new flick called "A Dirty Shame." If you are a John Waters fan, run, do not walk, to see it. While it is no Hairspray (my fav.

) it is fab.

Trust me when I say you will NEVER be able to think of the Hookey Pokey the same way again!!!!!!!!

Oh no....ya know I've seen a lot of John Waters films....some of which I've tried to forget

HOwever, the other night I went to this bar in town and they were actually playing Female Trouble on a screen out back.....crazy - it's been about six years since I've seen that movie....it brought back a ton of memories....

Anyway - I didn't know that he had a new flick out....any synopsis you can give without giving the movie away?

Wasn't it fabulous?! I haven't laughed so hard since I saw Desperate Living when I was thirteen.

I met John when he did a show here a couple of months ago, he's the nicest fellow. I got him to sign my "Trash Trio" book (scripts for Pink Flamingos, the unfilmed sequel to it, and Female Trouble) and my Polyester Odor-Rama card.

The bar was playing that movie?! I can only imagine the viewing experience when someone is drunk. "I wanted cha-cha heels!!!"

It's about white trash in Baltimore that become sex addicts after being hit in the head. It's got Tracey Ullman, Chris Isaak, Johnny Knoxville, Selma Blair, and the all the other Waters regulars in it.

If you didn't like hairspray, should you still see it?

No, if you didn't like Hairspray, you should see a psychiatrist, like the one John Waters plays in the movie who wields a swirling hypnosis wheel and cattle-prod.

Just kidding - I know John Waters movies are not everyone's cup of tea (mushroom tea, that is...). But they are hilarious nonetheless. I can't wait to see A Dirty Shame! I'm glad he went against the distributor's wishes and decided to wear the NC-17 rating like a badge of honor instead of something to be ashamed of.

Gotta go know -- "My diet pills are kicking in, and I've got ironing to do!!!"

There is actually a bar here in San Antonio that will play FEMALE TROUBLE every now and then on their tv's. It's pretty entertaining to sit in a bar and have about 20 drunk guys all say in unison, "Queers are just better! I'd be so proud if you was a fag and had a nice beautician boyfriend! I'd never have to worry!" LOL

A DIRTY SHAME was hysterical. Some great lines for sure..."You wanna yodel in my canyon?" LOL

Well - I went to see Garden State on Saturday and saw a preview for A Dirty Shame...so yep - it's on my list now - I gotta see it....

Oddly I've seen Female Troubel, Pink Flamingos, and Lust in the Dust...but I never did see Hairspray....perhaps some day I'll get around to it

I love em all.. I think my favorite line in Hairspray is from the late great Divine :

"Tracy, that's a TRIPLE PROCESS ! "

How did I know that you would love these movies ? I can't remember where I saw your post with the Desperate Living quotes...but OMG, those Grizelda lines...other than my closest friends, no one I know has ever quoted the handbag and tampax lines. SO damned funny.

Mink lives very near me, and I met her last summer while she was judging the Queen of Silverlake pagaent. She is such a hoot. One of my friends sees her all the time in her Curves class. How rich is that ?

I know.

Desperate Living is my favorite Waters flick. The lines from that movie are just as funny each time you watch it.

"I'm out here working my ass off all day and you're out here f*ckin' midgets!"
"Bitch at the air, bitch at the tree, but PLEASE, don't bitch AT US!"
"Get it, Peggy, get it!"
"DOWN, BOY, DOWN, DOWN!"
"I ain't your maid anymore, bitch, I'm your sista in crime!"
"I've got a Barbie doll crotch!"

And that ending where they kill Mink, OMG, that's hysterical.

Your friend should go up to her and say "Pussywillows, Dotty."

One of my fav. exchanges EVER in a move was:

EDNA: Ooh, Tracy, what do you think about this one?

TRACY: I like it.

EDNA: Oh, Wilbur would kill us if we spent that much money.

PINKY: You look gorgeous, Bertha, simply exquisite!

BERTHA: Oh, I don't know, Pinky.

PINKY: Have an eclair. Eat up girls, eat up. Big is beautiful. Tracy Turnblad! Welcome to the Hefty Hideaway House of Fashion for the ample woman. Hi, I'm Mr. Pinky.

TRACY: Hi.

EDNA: Mr. Pinky, I'm Tracy's business manager, Edna Turnblad.

PINKY: Well, it's a pleasure to meet the both of you. Here, we cater to the big-boned gals like yourself who are stylish and at the same time frustrated by the lack of sizes in the department stores today. I saw you on TV. I want you to be my model!

EDNA: Would she be paid for this?

PINKY: One free outfit a month. You start tomorrow. I hope there's no diets in the works because I want to design your Miss Auto Show coronation gown myself!

EDNA: Could you throw in a couple of complimentary pettipants in the deal?

PINKY: You drive a hard bargain, Miss Edna, and rightfully so. Pettipants, pettigirdle, you just let Tracy take her pick.

EDNA: How about a fabulous frock just for me?

PINKY: Tracy'll have to work one extra day for free.

EDNA: It's a deal! Thank you, Mr. Pinky!

PINKY: Ha ha ha. I'm going to make you a star!
________________________________________________________________

That whole scene was BRILLIANTLY played by Divine AND Waters actually used the word "pettipants"

-- I laugh out loud in my car by myself sometimes when I think of this scene from Hairspray

That's awesome!! I love Mink Stole...she is my favorite in all the movies...don't know why - I have just always liked her....it's amusing that she goes to Curves...

Um, isn't there singing, bad makeup, and unattractive people who do gross things in them? Maybe i'm thinking of something else....I don't much like camp, rarely singing in movies, and ugly people? with bad makeup? doing gross things? ehhhh.....But please, tell me if I'm wrong, or if it's so funny that I could not live without seeing it...
