John Waters Makes His Cinema 2024 Picks


Why am I at work today? Why didn't anybody tell me it was a holiday? Today is the day that John Waters releases his annual Top 10 list and I'm sitting at my desk staring at my computer? I should be slurping egg nog and making Xeroxes of my ass or something. (That's how you celebrate holidays, right?) Anyway click over to Vulture for the full list from the Prince of Puke himself (he stopped writing for Art Forum but I can't remember why; it was something shitty the magazine did though?) Per usual there are picks I adore (I think our final lists will share three titles this year!), picks that I abhor, and unseen picks that go onto my list to see ASAP. Nobody does it better.

Only one pick you abhor, I bet

Did he publish his list from his yacht?

It’s amazing he’s been able to maintain that “sleazy uncle” look all these years.

First Tarantino, now John Waters likes Joker 2? I guess both are audacious enough filmmakers to respect how much the movie hates its audience

I think Artforum sacked their editor because of an editorial related to the war or something, there was a boycott, many left, John as usual stood on the right side of history. Anyway, fun top 10 as always, but it has way more critical darlings an less left field picks than other years, right?? Anyway Im off to track anything that might be avaliable by Truong Minh Quy
