I've uploaded the audiobooks for two John Waters books onto YouTube.
Shock Value from 1981 is here whilst Crackpot from 1986 is here. Both are classic texts and extremely funny. Listen to 'How To Become Famous' on Crackpot to listen to Waters laughing at how outrageous his own text is.
I've decided to add Book of the Week to the already existing Soundtrack and Poster of the Week. I think I'll publish these every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Theres been a delay in any more essays and analyses of films as I'm working on an essay that has already ballooned to over 10,000 words and it's not even finished yet. I don't wanna jinx it so I won't announce which film it's about but you won't be disappointed. This film has been derided as either one of the worst films ever made, a camp car crash of a movie, or (and this is the worst criticism you can ever give a movie) 'so bad it's good' *gag*. It's none of these and in fact in my mind it's one of the best pieces of High Art ever made.
All will be revealed soon…
Poster of the Week- Freaky Friday (1976)
Soundtrack of the Week- Blood Simple (1984)
