I need a bottle of Scope and a good therapist. (For point of reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Flamingos)
Wow, I needed a mental enema after I watched it. Funny story though, we were walking in Georgetown in DC one night years ago and saw this sign that said..."MIDNIGHT SHOW.....PINK FLAMINGOES XXX" So me and my then girlfriend decide to check it out thinking it's..you know...a regular XXX movie. Imagine our surprise.
Yeah, it takes something special to still shock you over 30 years after it was made.... Haven't felt that strange after watching a movie since Natural Born Killers...
Yea, that is the movie where Divine eats dog poop. Did you know he was supposed to be on Married with Children (as a man) but died the day before shooting for the first episode started?
Adult [result]Err.... you make it sound so casual. But to actually see the dog squeeze it onto the pavement.... and then watch "her" scoop it up with her hand and eat it... Although, this is assuming you didn't loose it already when the white trash are screwing with a live chicken (well till it died during the "climax") being squashed between them, or when the aforementioned Miss Divine performs fellatio on "her" son.... [/result] "An exercise in bad taste." - Tagline doesn't even say it all, does it? Yeah, it's obvious where "Peg" got her voice/accent from too....
I was in Georgetown once and saw Devine arriving at the theater for the Pink Flamingoes premier or something. That was a sight!
Might have been the old Georgetown theater at Wisc & "O", where they had Caligula playing for what seemed like a decade.
No, the Key was where they showed the Rocky Horror Picture Show for years. The Biograph is the one at the eastern edge of Georgetown on M street.
OUCH! You know he is pretty proud of that. Groening won an award for that episode. John was quite drunk and hollering about how his animated character won more than he ever would. Which is odd, because John Waters as bizarre of a director as he is , is actually quite reserved and laid back, not to mention nice guy.
I remember going to see the 25th anniversary edition (which has a great deleated scene of the family singing 'we're off to see the wizard' holding hands, played backwards). The people I was with were kind of alarmed that I had wanted to see that movie twice. But there's some great stuff in that film. The scene at the end isn't nearly as disturbing as the chicken scene early on. That's the only one that troubled me because it seemed too real. And isn't 'Do my balls mama, do my balls." one of the funniest/most wrong one-liners in movie history? Amazing that John Waters fare is now on Broadway. cheers, hobbes
It was on the west side of Wisconsin, several blocks up from M. I don't think it was the Key - that was pretty small.
