John Waters may very well be one of the most hilarious and
entertaining filmakers of our time. His quest for beauty
in the trash heaps can always put a smile on your face. Some
folks may find themselves becoming offended by Waters' offbeat
sense of humor, but it's all in good(or bad) taste. The screenplays
for two of his most notorious films, "Pink Flamingos" and
"Desperate Living", are at last available for a fun read. You
can recapture some of his terrific dialogue and grasp a
tighter sense on the humor the he tries to push. The real treat
here is the screenplay for the unmade sequel to "Pink Flamingos"
called "Flamingos Forever". Unfortunately, this will never be made
because the majority of the first film's stars have now passed on
and Waters' feels those shoes could never be filled by anyone
else. Don't be thrown off by it's title, "Trash Trio" is definately a
terrific excursion into bad taste.
