Is he genius, or just a product of his time?
>>221098381Time and place. John Waters could only come from Baltimore.
>>221098381Talented, very funny and intelligent individual. His work may be dated but I think it's still important in its own way.

He's probably a pedo.
Im telling my kids these are the avengers.
>>221098381Serial Mom proves to me that he's a genius
Legitimately he is the only fag who matters
He is great. He is never boring and I admire that.
he owes his career to harris glenn milstead
>>221098461he did a bunch of promotions for female trouble just telling people to watch eraserhead
>>221098461I'm on this kind of shit.
based faggot
>>221098449
These two def fucked
I didn’t know he was gay, honestly. Did everyone know this? I’m 38 btw

>>221098556When were you diagnosed with astigmatism?
>>221098449I mean if the chicken enjoyed itself lol
>>221098381"Pushing the envelope" of decency, and being a grotesque weirdo, is what people do when they have no genuine talent.Homosexuals must be really annoyed that people like John Waters exist. Coz he makes them all look like freaks.
>>221098649No they hate him because he's making fun of them and they're sincerely freaks.
>>221098544John topped Henry, without a doubt.
I would be very interested to see what a "modern" John Waters movie would look like today. I feel like he would at least have a fun critique on all the discourse, which would be more than any studio is willing nowadays.
>>221098381Animal abuser
>>221098715See>>221098568
>>221098748Don't care about his consensual relationships with adults, I care he murdered animals (chickens, specifically) for entertainment.
>>221098796you should probably kill yourself in the name of gene distribution
>>221098806>t. animal abuser feeling guilty one of his peers is getting called out
>>221098711You could read Liarmouth and get an idea. It's not really that though.
>>221098849The left cant meme
>>221098381He had the self awareness to realize that most fags can only create degenerate art. So he approached that from a meta angle where he didn't shy away from bluntly telling the audience that what they were about to see was degenerate fag art. It's honest in a way that that totally shrouded in subliminal messaging today.
>>221098904Nice /pol/brain moment.John Waters is a gay Democrat, and an animal abuser.
>>221098711They were only a thing in the first place because “underground” and “counter-culture” existed. Nowadays they’re just boring. You can easily find full tilt psychotics to observe. Which is answering the question. Modern John waters would be kiwifags.
>>221098934>muh /pol/ boogeymanGet raped
>>221098381I like his "sellout" movies better than the transgressive ones. I think most of those early films are a bit too much and I didn't particularly find them funny. When he stepped into the studio tho the styles blended in an interesting way, I think he actually found more of a voice at that point. I think the black & white Mondo Trasho and Multiple Maniacs are the ones that work the most from the early stuff of his because the b&w image gives the images more depth. From the colour ones, the in-between Polyester is my favourite. My overall favourite film of his is probably Serial Mom. Hairspray and Cry-Baby are also good.>>221098649>>221098661>uhm actually homosexuals hate John WatersWhat kind of schizo shit is this?
>>221098381Genius is a bit far, but definitely an auteur. His films have a very unique and clear vision, tone, and look. Camp isn’t a hard target to hit but his scripts. successfully walk a fine line of “smartly written stupid.”
>>221098711I think he's actually become kind of a prude. A Dirty Shame was just making fun of people's kinks without any kind of real message behind it. A modern Waters movie would just be him bitching about Kids These Days.
>>221098849Animals exist for humans to kill them.
>>221098939>t. doesn't understand comedyYou probably say stuff like>Why do people like horror movies? i can just watch videos of people dying online
>>221099346Only midwits think Waters is making fun of anything. He knows the shit he portrays is funny but he himself likes it, partly for that very reason. Not necessarily "into it" but he likes being around that kind of stuff at least.
>>221099403Dude, I've seen his entire filmography and Dirty Shame had no mojo. It felt like an old gay man made it and the subject was "god straights are weird"
>>221099493A Dirty Shame is not particularly funny or successful as a movie but I did not feel like he was making it with malice or something. It was just poorly made. I hope he gets to make another movie, he tried to get Liarmouth adaptation off the ground but couldn't find funding. Which is odd, fucking anything gets funding these days. A24 couldn't throw him a bone or something? He should maybe call MUBI or something.
>>221098381This is what he pioneered. This is his legacy.
>>221100464Those occasional women I mostly would
>>221098381damn mccauly caulkin did not age well
>>221098381His movies make me feel uncomfortable but I cant stop watching what the fuck hes going to do next.
