John Waters

[Raymond Marble]

When I saw that there was a new post in this thread I assumed it was to mention the complete retrospective Lincoln Center is putting on in September, to include even the early, impossible-to-see, not-even-available-as-bootlegs short films ("Hag in a Black Leather Jacket," "Eat Your Makeup," "Roman Candles"). I'm super excited; there is a trip to New York in my future.

But no, I have no answers about your Medea question, sadly. I'd definitely be interested in hearing updates, if you find any further information.

Look, it's Steve Buscemi's younger brother.

#-o That's what happens when you look at stuff on your phone.

In case you ever wondered to yourself "What is John Waters' favourite poem?", the answer is here. Read at your own risk.

What's the story behind the mustache, John?

I felt this was the best place to place it. In tradition of the yearly output of John Waters films, it looks like Pink Flamingos and Desperate Living are OOP from WAC’s DVD. Even though it has been speculated for a year and a half that Flamingos was to get a blu Ray from WAC, maybe they changed their hearts to see Criterion giving Waters the proper treatment he deserves.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I must admit, getting these yearly Waters rereleases is a major treat. A 4K Restoration of the classic Chicken Sex Scene with commentary would practically make my year. Long live the Pope of Trash!

Thanks for posting Waters' list. I'll catch up with the ones I haven't seen. So glad he loved Swallow.

Glad to see more Deerskin love!

If that one didn't make his list I'd be worried about him
