John Waters Collection #3: Pink Flamingos/ Female Trouble

Rating:
Summary: He's Original, You Gotta Give Him That
Review: It is what it is, and you certainly don't have to like it(Roger Ebert sure hates Pink Flamingos, but what does he know? He liked Star Kid). John Waters is truly a love him or hate him guy, especially where his old films are concerned. If you've never seen this, take my advice: Don't watch it with anyone prudish(unless it's for revenge), watch it with a sick freaky person like yourself. This is the kind of film that you like to watch with people to see their reactions, but you probably won't watch it alot on your own-very much like Caligula. Remember, Waters isn't afraid to show you anything and nothing is sacred to him. There are at least two scenes in Pink Flamingos that will be tattooed in your brain till the day you die(for better or worse), so be prepared. This film is labeled a comedy, but that's all a matter of taste. I know people who DO NOT think this film is funny, but very sick and disturbing. You gotta understand that it's all meant for laughs, but many aren't gonna agree with that, Bubba. Female Trouble is a little more toned down than Pink Flamingos, but not much! The Farrelly Brothers seem to be in the spotlight for grossout humor, but they have a long way to go before they can even begin to outgross the king of grossout. These two films are the proof of that.
