John Waters is turning the big 8-0 today. From "Pink Flamingos," one of the scenes DU can show. Edited: upon a viewing, I'm not sure. Forum hosts, I'll leave it up to you.

A little video edit I did to create a music video for Little Richard's The Girl Can't Help It, using the remastered studio audio over footage from the classic John Waters/Divine film Pink Flamingos.

2. Never seen it

Quite a video that.
Does DU have obscenity guidelines? I am not even sure where the line would be wrt the contemporary web.

3. 'Pink Flamingos' is way past it, for the most part. NT

4. Yeah

It looks scary. I have never seen any truly subversive cinema (unless you count tacky grindhouse horror)..

Not really my thing.

Never even got around to“Fear and Loathing” and I really feel that is movie I should watch - if for no other reason, just to dot all the is and cross all ts in living up to stereotype .

And I totally MUST see Reefer Madness.

Nice to joke about it. I came across a straight edge cult years ago..hideous people .

There are no humans as awful as those who moralize and medicalise over a bit of weed.

Divine died young.
