he wrote and directed the musical Hairspray and the movie Pink Flamingos. Both of which are worth it if you don’t have a predisposition to hating campy, lgbtq+ or musicals.
John waters. As a young straight kid in a religious household in the south he was the first person that showed me there can be humor that involves lgbtq+ people that isn’t hateful or dismissive, followed by David Sedaris. And strangely enough it was through comedy that I first felt empathy for people I had been indoctrinated to hate. He’s definitely out there and quite honestly a lot of his stuff isn’t to my taste but he’s got some great material
I still love how a movie about hackers completely made up what they thought hacker culture might look like, but instead of laughing off a bad Hollywood film hacker culture embraced this invented asthetic and hasn’t really let go since
I recently watched that film for the first time and holy shit that movie has aged like fine wine and makes me nostalgic for a bygone subculture that never really existed in the first place
Hey, my favorite coffee shop has at least two comfy chairs at each of their… Five? I think they have five locations now. Way to go dudes. Anyways I can shrimp up whenever I visit. I don’t want to say they did it just for me but I am a regular and if I can’t shrimp I have to go home. They are the best for looking out for me.
I knew I recognized him from somewhere.
I have no idea who he is, but this is my favorite quote ever, as someone who’s both a goth/punk poser and works in cybersecurity.

I’ll take a look. This is the second quote from him that resonates with me prety deeply, he seems like a cool guy.
If you find his films a bit too much (which is fair), he’s also done a standup show called This Filthy World which you would probably enjoy.
If you have that predisposition you should hatewatch them

Definitely worth knowing.
What does he mean, there is no look to that. Sure there is…

He made the greatest No Smoking in the movie theater spots ever made.
If you want a movie of his that’s very accessible, I recommend Pecker. The stuff he’s most known for was just a bit too out there for my tastes.
