Catholic Chuch Blasts John Waters; Waters Loves It

Waters Thrilled by Catholic Church Blast at Film

The Catholic News Service rated John Waters' new film, "A Dirty Shame", "O" for "morally offensive," and also called it "crude." But it would appear that they have played right into John's hands, as he turned their review into his own guilty pleasure...

The review complains, "(The film features) almost non-stop rough, crude and profane language, full frontal nudity, sexual imagery, obscene gestures, scatological humor, casual portrayal and descriptions of deviant sexual practices, a glorification of freewheeling sex and some sacrilegious imagery."

"I don't know if I can get a better review than that," said Waters.

And in other Prince of Puke news, he told Paper magazine that he's got a lot on his plate these days...

This year there's a lot going on. My new film A Dirty Shame
opens in September, and Cry Baby's going to become a Broadway
musical. I even have a soundtrack for A Dirty Shame coming out. I've
got a record deal with New Line Records. I'll also have a Christmas
album coming out called A John Waters Christmas.
It's 15 of the most
insane, obscure Christmas carols that you've never heard. Then I
have a new one coming out next Valentine's Day called A Date with
John Waters, which is my idea of romantic music. Can you imagine a
John Waters record label? I was going to call it "Rimmer Records"
and have the [logo] be an asshole, but we're not doing that.

John's a great composer in his own right, too. Who can forget the "Female Trouble" theme song and of course, "Don't Drop the Soap (For Anyone But Me)" from "Pecker?"

I so cannot fucking wait for "A Dirty Shame!!" I've been watching his movies lately in preparation for my pilgrimage to Royal Oak to see it with a certain cool Orger. smile
