Happy 50, Female Trouble


I have seen it said that John Waters greatest movie Female Trouble was premiered in Baltimore on October 4th 1974 or October 11th 1974, but whether it's this week or next week I think we can all agree -- I wouldn't suck your lousy dick if I was suffocating and there was oxygen in your balls! In all seriousness -- okay "seriousness" seems like the worst word when it comes to this movie? But in all truth this is my favorite John Waters joint of them all. Every single line of dialogue is hilariously funny and quotable from start to finish, and every character is an icon -- from Taffy to the Dashers to Aunt fucking Ida on down! Anyway since I'm indeed offline again today for NYFF screenings -- and it's happily a very queer day too with Pedro Almodovar and Luca Guadagnino's new movies on the menu! -- please regale me with your favorite bits and bobs from this perfect masterpiece in the comments so I have something to read when I'm back. And never forget -- pretzels give you plaque.

I missed this anniversary. I may pull out a bottle of ketchup and play "car crash."
