I just bought VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and the new MOMMIE DEAREST reissue DVDs tonight, and boy do I feel queerer than a catfart!

The MOMMIE DVD has audio commentary by none other than JOHN WATERS and there are a smattering of special features, including a bit that looks to be hosted by Waters. The packaging is a little skimpy - no booklet, no commemorative wire hanger, etc. - but hey, it was a cheep twelve bucks, so whaddaya want.

The VALLEY OF THE DOLLS DVD is a big ol' two disc set with a TON of features, a booklet, an envelope full of lobby card photograph reprints, and the whole thing is contained in a hot pink case, which slides out of a nicely made slipcover. Very swanky as DVD packaging goes.

These are two of my favorite campy films ever ever ever (throw in SHOWGIRLS and you have a perfect trilogy of tripe), and in my opinion, no household is complete without these films on the shelf - especially if you have children in need of corrupting.

Now I get to fire up the DVD player and watch these goodies. FLAME ON!!!

I have never seen Valley of the Dolls

I thought this was going to have something like "Shaving Ryan's Privates" or something.


Boy am I relieved!

That's a real title, and you knew it.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

eh. meh. GEH.

YOU, mister, REQUIRE viewing of this film. REPEATED viewings. so many that when you bump into a friend on the street and they ask what you're up to, you can involuntarily blurt out, a la patty duke, "I WAS MERELY TRAVELING INCOGNITO!!!"

if you liked showgirls or mommie dearest at ALL, this movie will have you giggling. plus it has a burt bacharach soundtrack - what's not to love about that?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

you can drool after him - i'll drool after his porn stash. i mean, you know, the stuff he keeps under the floor boards.

Anx said:

I love it when you say that!

GangstaFam said:

have you seen valley of the dolls? please say you have. "tony...? tony....? TONY!!!!"

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

me either. I keep forgetting.

I have to get the Mommy Dearest one for the commentary alone. I love the movie but John Waters is pure comedy.


Hey Anx, what's that offensive but funny "fag" line in Valley of the Dolls?



M

What is gay about mommy dearest.....I LOVE this movie btw, but I'm not makin' the queer connection?????

only that every drag queen worth her weight in wigs has done a mommie dearest tribute.

jerseykrs said:

This is your thread, Jersey.

Anx said:

Oh, I need to get out more.

Anx said:

The truth.

luv4all7 said:

plus, you'll be hard pressed to find a gay guy who can't quote at LEAST two or three lines from 'mommie dearest' to perfection.

Anx said:

So I'm assuming you already have AUNTIE MAME and THE WOMEN. No cultured momo's collection is complete without these.

I'm quite fond of THE WOMEN. The Technicolor fashion show scene is AWESOME!

L'amour... L'amour!

PicassoFace said:

see, i like these movies just fine, but they're the kind of camp films that were made really well - you laugh WITH them, not AT them. i'll watch those, but i don't need to own them or learn all the dialogue. i much prefer neely o'hara ripping helen lawson's wig off her head and flushing it down the toilet.

Anx said:

Jersey seems to love this film and he's quoted it. I've never seen it.

kidelrich said:

You don't have to be gay to like that film, it's funny as shit.

jerseykrs said:

You don't have to be gay to sleep with a man either




just sayin'

Imago said:

why are you stalking my posts??

jerseykrs said:

oh, gay, mary, trade, beaneater...whatever you people out there are calling it these days.

jerseykrs said:

Pretty quick on that reply.

jerseykrs said:

i thought he got banned for slandering straight people with his gaybaiting (which i find inexcusable).*



























* see my "Who's Your Favorite Orger Named After A State?" thread for applicable exceptions to my opinion expressed above.

I've never bought a big gay DVD. Any recommendations?
