Trash Trio: Three Screenplays

 (5 customer reviews)

John Waters may very well be one of the most hilarious and
entertaining filmakers of our time. His quest for beauty
in the trash heaps can always put a smile on your face. Some
folks may find themselves becoming offended by Waters' offbeat
sense of humor, but it's all in good(or bad) taste. The screenplays
for two of his most notorious films, "Pink Flamingos" and
"Desperate Living", are at last available for a fun read. You
can recapture some of his terrific dialogue and grasp a
tighter sense on the humor the he tries to push. The real treat
here is the screenplay for the unmade sequel to "Pink Flamingos"
called "Flamingos Forever". Unfortunately, this will never be made
because the majority of the first film's stars have now passed on
and Waters' feels those shoes could never be filled by anyone

Have you and your friends ever thought about putting on a little-theatre production of "Pink Flamingos"? What about you and the cousins doing "Desperate Living" at the next family reunion?

If that truly is your thing, this book will be a Godsend, for it contains every wonderfully demented, perverse line in both of those '70s trash classics, but that's not even the best of it!

The real gem here is the screenplay for the sadly unproduced "Pink Flamingos" sequel, "Flamingos Forever".

Had Edith Massey not passed away, and had Divine been game and not so wrapped up in his singing "career", "Flamingos Forever" would have been the sequel to end all sequels, and the film that bridged "Polyester" and "Hairspray".

Alas, it was not to be. But now you can read for yourself and imagine the fabulous Mink Stole, Cookie Mueller, Jean Hill and the other Dreamlanders in what has got to be one of the most sorrowful missed opportunities of cinema.

John Waters is a great artist, and I mean artist, because he's created things no one else had, and probably never would!!!! this book also gives un an insite on the sequal to a cult hit PINK FLAMINGOS, and while not has good as FLAMINGOS, it's still funnier than most, and it's obvious he wrote some parts far MS.HILL, who was one of the stars of DESPRATE LIVING, also a script in this GREAT BOOK. I beg anybody who likes any type of film, no matter what it may be to get this book, because you'll never ever look at ANY movie the same!!!!
