    For everyone who's confused: He's comparing vegetables based strictly on the part that looks like a butthole. Pink Flamingos contains what is considered by most film historians the first prolonged closeup of an anus in a not-strictly-pornographic film.

    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

    #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!

    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.

    My mom and I would rent movies when my dad was on business trips. Go to blockbuster and pick out a movie, make popcorn, cozy blankets. 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.

    My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. 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…
