John Waters' stuff, on the other hand, is uncomfortable, strange, and hard to watch precisely because _he does know what he's doing_ and that's exactly what he was going for.

[@AverageDrafter]

Not for nothing, but the world needs to see a full re/View of Serial Mom. That fucking movie is so underrated and misunderstood it's damn criminal. All the performances are incredible and charming and just... GOD I love this movie. Waters talks about how he shoots with ZERO fat on the commentary right down to planning out and rehearsing shoots with principal actors before hand - not SCENCES... the actual logistical SHOOTS and times at locations to make sure everyone knows where they need to be when. I don't think that's even a THING? Is it? He basically doesn't have to edit much because he doesn't shoot much that he doesn't use. Sorry, this movie is fucking rad though.

30:36 the “go home to your mother” line seems to be the inspiration for the same line in Kill Bill.

My favorite Waters movie is "Female trouble" an absolute masterpiece too.

[@toweypat]

"It's a movie about family." One thousand points to Josh!

[@Neptunequeen42]

I think something might be wrong with me because this looks like the funniest goddamn movie ever made

[@jconny65]

god, i love when jay and josh do re:views. so chill.

[@ELEKTROSKANSEN]

I finally watched this. My favorite thing about it (and I am amazed they did not mention it at all) is how the eggman fit right into this family of weirdos. When you first see him, you think "huh, that's kinda a weird occupation, but okay, he's delivering eggs and Edie really likes him"; then Edie confesses her love for the eggman and he asks her to marry him - you think "huh, that's kinda quick and out of nowhere, but okay, it's just a movie". And then you hear that the eggman is going to attend the birthday barty for Divine. You can already predict in your mind that the party is gonna be wild, so you think that the eggman, being an outsider, will be shocked, appaled and maybe even drop the engagement... ...but then you see him smiling and laughing along with the others during the opening of the presents, you see him cheering for the singing arsehole and generally having fun. You think: "huh, ok, maybe he just embraced it because he truly loves Edie"... ...and then you see him attacking the policemen without hestitation, and eating their flesh along with the other partygoers... And you realize that this was truly a match made in heaven! :D Also, there is a news reporter in this movie and his name is John Vader. huh.

after watching Desperate Living loaded on a bunch of psychedelics, I can firmly say this is the most wrong The Wizard has ever been. it's absolutely as much fun as Pink Flamingos

[@HelenaRedgrave]

10 minutes in and the few clips they've shown of the movie have already made me deeply uncomfortable... yeah, I think I'll actually have to sit this one out.

[@travellingshoes5241]

Me too.

[@Jen-ju8st]

John Waters is a legend, as was Divine. Watched the movies because i heard amazing things about the most of them, and was very thrown off to see someone stretching their asshole open into the camera for like a minute lmaooooo, they are both still legends though

[@hazyhazel21]

At least they spared you Edith Massey eating the eggs

[@eltonsmor]

Nooo, its awesome

[@Hemaglox]

That's weird, I didn't really find this video that uncomfortable, and yet the Freddy Got Fingered Review did

[@christopherparks6433]

I don’t know if anyone can love this movie since it is so shocking, but boy do I appreciate how much John Waters loves outcasts and proudly shows the world who they are. It’s so refreshing.

[@ferzum7290]

This movie is more suicidal than suicide squad

[@RegulatedMilitia]

you know that transhumanism is referring to uploading your brain into a robot not being a transsexual

[@hongry-life]

Symbiote times.

[@samdinnan3351]

Pink Flamingos was a passion project, but Suicide Squad was a mindless cash grab

[@mortified0]

Divine, the man who can climb anything

[@tonywagner7269]

So is that it? We are just some type of pink flamingos?

[@LaramasBee]

I feel like I'm on a watchlist now.

[@JohnSmith-tr9us]

yeah.... I'm not watching this movie

[@extrudersfx4571]

John Smith You still watch movies? RLM has made them obsolete for me.

[@woodlefoof2]

K

[@luckyspurs]

Having never seen a John Waters film, I think there's a good chance that Simpsons episode is the best thing he's done.

[@juanpinaresauquis997]

I love this movie

[@kingofthehamsters]

It's great. Other than the elderly woman dressed in her undies babbling like a.. Mental deficient (?!) about a door to door egg merchant.

[@timberwolftrid]

Oh nice, a new re:View. I can eat breakfast and watch it!

[@chrisshaw4286]

RIP chicken. What a shitty way to die :(

[@hennepzakje6375]

One of the jackass movies has a John Waters cameo btw

[@oklahomorose]

Before I saw "Pink Flamingos" I had heard about the infamous last scene so I THOUGHT I was ready. I was so not ready. By the end of the movie and all the other mishegoss I'd seen, I was . . . well, as Cartman says of "Asses of Fire", "It warped my fragile little mind!". And I loved every filthy fucked-up moment!

[@willmcc4070]

I'd like to see Siskel and Ebert discuss *this* one

[@ijustreview]

Ebert refused to give it a rating

[@potaterjim]

Oh my god This looks scarier than any horror movie

[@skrounst]

I always thought it was funny Pink Flamingos takes place in Phoenix, MD which is ironically a pretty wealthy area of the Greater Baltimore Area. Lots of golf courses around there. Being from Baltimore, John Waters is kind of a folk hero around here, at least for the 35+ year olds. While I can't say I could watch his movies at any time, I still respect him for what he put on film at that time period. He was pushing envelopes before envelopes were invented.
