if ya didn't see it in the theaters - which most folks didn't due to its NC-17 rating and arthouse distribution - ya gotta check out John Waters' latest gross-fest, "A Dirty Shame", on DVD. rent it. buy it. love it. touch it. lick it.

i guarantee you, you will never see a better movie about people who suffer severe head trauma and become sex addicts.

plus the special features include a feature-length documentary about the movie, about john waters, and about perversion in general. dreamland fans will LOVE it.

I'm excited to check this out. I saw it in the theatres and had a grand old time. The bears are my fave, I could NOT stop giggling!

First!!!!

Yeah baby!!!!


Dohhhhh!!!!

it's SUCH a quotable movie. i still like to use the phrase "sneeze in your cabbage patch" whenever i possibly can.

Must see this. My S.O. won't but oh well.

that's what it's all about.

I'm a total Waters addict, but I still haven't seen this. And of course, Blockbuster only carries the "Neutered Version". I'll have to look elsewhere cuz I refuse to watch this censored.

still waiting for my John Waters box set to arrive at the moment,
can't wait to watch A Dirty Shame again, and the bonus disc.

I knew u wouldn't be talking about this.

fucken BB, im sick of their censored shit
---they should just have a blocked section with porno and these things

i'm pissed that they're putting that bonus disc in the new(est) waters box set. i hadda send away for mine a couple of years back, and i thought i had some kind of ultra-special collectible when i got it. now they're cramming it in this new box set like it's a stinkin' toy in a box of cereal.

i also got THIS on DVD last week:



which i recommend at LEAST as a rental to anyone who has an interest in the new york avant garde/club/performance art scene...and for all my fellow bowie geeks out there, it has some FABULOUS footage from bowie's SNL performance w/ nomi and joey arias.

Anxiety said:

I NEED THIS!!!!!

Klaus was incredible. I'm a huge fan of Joey Arias. I think he's doing one of the Cirque De Soleil in Vegas. I wonder if he's singing Billie songs.

i've been finding the nomi DVD on sale for cheap lately - i bet you can find it for $15 or so. i got mine (and my copy of 'a dirty shame') from amazon.com and it was only $14 and some change. it's *SO* worth it.

Anxiety said:

I rented it last night. The documentary is 1 hour and 20 minutes long. It's hilarious. I love the way John Waters talks. I would love to sit with him and just talk.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

oh, i know - i could listen to him forever. i can't wait to hear the commentary track for 'a dirty shame'. i just got 'serial mom' on DVD for four bucks over the weekend, and i'm looking forward to hearing his commentary on that, too.

Anxiety said:

Have you ever been to one of his lectures. They are genius. I got Pink Flamingos autographed and my copy of Trash Trio. It's funny because it felt like a comedy show. He's hilarious.

Did ya get my orgnote?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

How do you find about these things? When and where did you see him?

GangstaFam said:

This was a really long time ago. It must have been in the early 90's. He had a lecture at SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY. It was part of the San Jose Film Festival.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

i haven't been to one of his lectures, but i've been to a couple of book signings. i'd LOVE to go to one of his lectures one day - he just never talks near where i am!

one of my favorite possessions is my books-on-tape version of "shock value" read by waters - it's almost more fun than reading the book. i know there's a book on tape of "crackpot", too - i'd love to score that sometime.

Anxiety said:

And your 'Big Girls Do Cry' pic is priceless!

GangstaFam said:

thanks, that really is a rare find. that and the picture of her as aunt ida that i have where she's giving ernie the pretzels.

"A Dirty Shame" is amazing...I saw it in the theater and just picked up a copy on DVD...don't get the neuter version!!!!
