neutral · AI labelView post →It'd be like if someone tried to do a modern, polished take on Pink Flamingos Like no this misses the point entirely, you cannot apply a normal mainstream tv/film budget to this shit & have it work. It HAS to feel like 15 friends on speed made it with $2k they borrowed from their parents

neutral · AI labelView post →#TodayInQueerHistory March 17 (1972) It's an exercise in bad taste today, as we celebrate the release of Pink Flamingos, starring iconic drag queen Divine. The crude, black comedy is considered by film experts to be one of the *most important* queer films of all time!

neutral · AI labelView post →Happy birthday, John Waters. Everyone should celebrate by watching Pink Flamingos, a film that breaks every universal taboo. An original 'midnight movie'. (Also you gotta love Divine 🖤 One of the best to ever do it.)
neutral · AI labelView post →John Waters did the commentary on this because it’s his favorite movie and he watched it a bunch while making Pink Flamingos and so much makes sense now.

Midnight on Friday and Saturday nights only

At some point she announced that her favorite film was Pink Flamingos and her favorite band was the Suicide Commados. Might have been my first encounter with a real punk rocker.

One night my mom got a movie and about 5 minutes in she was like maybe we should turn it off, and I said nah, it’s already playing let’s watch it. So that’s how I ended up watching Pink Flamingos in 3rd grade.

We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind's eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called "Faces of Death" and a movie called "Pink Flamingos". Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched…
