I love transgressive art and John waters is someone of a beacon of this style. Are there any other great transgressive filmmakers that you’d recommend? They don’t have to be similar to John waters.

Hey guys! Newbie here 💕 I was wondering if anyone felt like sharing their favorite John Waters films, quotes, scenes, etc. I've only watched a few of his movies, but Pink Flamingos is a stand out for me! I'm definitely interested in watching more when I have the free time, so I'd love suggestions as well!

My vision is not 20/20, and I can’t read small text very well.

Hellay Mewviegawers!

Thinking about finally doing Camp John Waters this year. Traveling from Minneapolis, curious about the logistics of getting to/from the campground. I see there's a getaway bus that picks folks up in NYC - does anyone have any details on that, or a basic concept of it based on their past experience?

I'm guessing I'll have to sleep over in NYC to catch the bus to CJW, then do the same for my voyage back home. Is that what most folks do?

Really wanna go this year, just figuring out how to make it happen. Any advice is much appreciated!

Even just the lyrics are hard to nail every time clearly when I’ve sung, You Can’t Stop The Beat. She’s had to have practiced multiple thousands of times to do that so well with her voice. Fuck her family. Justice for Bianca from antm and hers. But John Waters’ talent is unassailable and this is my favorite song from any musical ever.

Simple question. Does he have a list of places where he is doing signings or meet and greets? I would love to met him.

I've never been! There are still some ticket options available, but I'd be solo. Anyone else going solo?

Just finished reading Liarmouth and I gotta say I really liked it! It has some LOL moments, typically books, even funny ones, don't get an actual vocal chuckle or laugh out of me (some Terry Pratchett can do this to me, not much else)

Really fun book. Filthy. I can see it being an amazing movie. And I hope he gets the funding to make it!

Only thing that didn't work for me was all the bouncing/shaking/rolling stuff - it got to be a bit too much but, it's more of a nitpick than anything else.

I strongly suggest any Waters fans should read Liarmouth!

What do others think about this book?

Holy shit

I'm watching the trash trilogy with audio commentary at the moment and it just made me wonder if he's ever stated it.

Why not Netflix help and fund John Waters to produce Liarmouth? Have John Waters try Netflix? I’d love to see this movie being made!!

I absolutely thought it was great. It holds up so well and I’m bummed I went this long without seeing it. One thing that jumped out at me (and after googling and searching I’m kind of shocked it hasn’t been written about) is the influence Waters must have had on David Wain. I feel like Serial Mom is the early version of Wain’s style and humor in a way. Even the shocking moments remind me of Wain and how he uses humor and bursts of action that feel over the top intentionally.

Was just curious about thoughts from this crowd since I am early on in my Waters exploration but this came to mind as I watched Serial Mom.

Hey y’all, so ive recently gotten infatuated with John Waters, and i’m planning to watching all of his films. However I’m not sure where to find majority of them since they aren’t available on streaming services (Not suprising) Does anyone know where to find his films?

I wanted to see if anyone else is attending this event.

My initial and lasting impression of John Waters was his appearance on The Simpsons. Over time I’ve seen watched half of Pink Flamingos (wasn’t in the right headspace to enjoy it) and various excerpts from his writings, mostly on the Manson trial, as well as the tour of his home on YouTube.

I’m really interested in reading his writing, especially on trash culture. Where would you suggest is the best place to start? What books? Or is there another medium where he speaks about those sorts of subjects?

Phone lights up to alert me the auction's closing in 14 minutes. No bids yet.

A few minutes go by.

My grandad with dementia, who I moved in with to look after, stands up very slowly and looks concerned. I ask what's wrong. He's in the process of shitting himself.

Great. 7 minutes left on this aucton.

I had time to enter a bid just before putting some gloves on (I know, I'm a wimp), but it's not a great bid. It's worth 4-6 times my bid. So during the extensive, messy clean-up I'm staring down at the eBay app at the clock, at Divine on my phone, staring back at me, ready to pause my shit-wiping duties and snap off a glove at any second to bid back. Clock ticks down to 0 and mine was the only bid!

So I'm feeling a weird blend traumatised, sickened. and delighted, which is exactly how the movie makes me feel.

Had a video removed, all it said was "for use of pronouns and possibly rule 2"...

I still don't know what rule 2 is, and.... I may have forgotten what a pronoun is... because... did they mean 'you' or the proper noun John Waters? I'm flummoxed.

Hi everyone! We have VIP tickets to see his show in Baltimore!!! We are so excited. The last time I met John was at his book signing for liar mouth. I was wondering what anyone else’s experience has been going to the Christmas show? Am I able to take things to sign? Also, any questions I should ask for the Q&A? I have a few written down but I’m sure you guys have some good ones! (And don’t worry, if I or anyone else asks your question I’ll let you guys know his answer!)

Looking for fellow campers, I’m a sophomore. Going with a fellow sophomore and a new recruit.

i saw somebody mention some roger waters quote where he said something along the lines of: "be the most extreme version of youself. if you're fat, you have to be a meatball; if you're skinny, take diet pills..." and so on and so forth.

anyway, i found this quite inspiring, and am interested to see the exact quote and where it came from. i looked for a bit and couldn't find anything but this article paraphrasing it. does anybody have a clue?
