Filthy Book F*ckers

I do believe I mentioned this back when they first got announced, but today is the release date for the first three books in John Waters' screenplay series -- I'm not sure how many of these he plans on doing but I do know they're planning on more than just these three. What three, you ask? Well let me tell you, I respond. First up there's a book of the screenplay for Desperate Living -- buy it here. Then there's one for his movie Pink Flamingos, of course -- buy it here. And then, most enticingly, there's a book of the screenplay for Pink Flamingos' never-made sequel called Flamingos Forever! Buy that one here. The continuing adventures of Babs Johnson! Just imagine! That is so fucking beautiful I can hardly stand it. (Okay okay that quote is from Female Trouble -- obviously that's the screenplay book I'm the hardest for.) 

In truth these have already been released before in a single volume called Trash Trio -- that's out of print but you can get used copies for a good price still. That said I don't think he's doing a totally ratched money-grab here (although even if it's that that's fine, it's John fucking Waters!) because there will be more to this series, so I get wanting to release them in similar sized new printings so the eventual set will go together. Or it's just to keep him in Comme des Garçons -- rob me blind, John!
