Trashtastic cult double

Oh, John Waters, how much I love thee. The cult, kitsch, self-proclaimed dirty director (above) is one of my favourite so-bad-their-good filmmakers and not just because of his moustache. Mostly known for creating the classic Hairspray, Waters also has an extensive filmography of trashtastic, underground masterpieces spanning his 40-year career. If you have not had the fortune to see a John Waters film it's something you truly have to experience. Thankfully the Globe Theatre in Brisbane is having a double screening of his films on Thursday night. His 1972 cult hit Pink Flamingos kicks off at 7pm followed by the more recent 2004 flick, A Dirty Shame. Getting to see to Waters films back-to-back in a theatre setting is simply too good an opportunity to pass up. You can find out more information at the Globe Theatre website here. I have just one question though, why is it Waters is in every documentary about anything ever? Seriously, I want answers.
