Pink Flamingos, and Hairspray, Polyester and Female Trouble are all fantastic, hilarious must-sees. Waters is a genius film maker IMO.... but apparently Divine caught worms after doing that scene

Of course it had to be real, like Russ said, the intent was to be as extreme as you could possibly be, what the hell could be more extreme and transgressive than someone eating a dog turd....? You also have to look to the historical and political context, the social and political upheavals that were taking place in the US in the early 70s... If you ask me, this sort of sheer fearlessness and extremity is something totally missing from today's film-making. We need more film-makers with these sort of big brass balls willing to take risks.... The only thing comparable to this is coming from extreme Japanese film-makers like Takeshi Kitano and Miike Takashi....

Divine.... love the films he made with Waters. And Edith Massey, too, who Waters met on the day of her release from prison for stabbing her abusive husband to death... great lady. After the Waters movies, Edith carved quite a career singing round the clubs... she had err... a unique voice... have a listen: http://homepage.mac.com/olliewagner/dreaml...y-Big_Girls.mp3 here's the fine lady herself - especially for you, Rob....
