It's not just me!

My dad's flying to LA today and just called from Charlotte to say John Waters is on his flight. I reminded my dad how much he liked the movie Pecker and that he should say something to him about it. Dad enjoyed Pecker for 2 reasons 1) it's about a photographer (one of dad's many skills) and 2) Christina Ricci (who my dad thinks is adorable) owns a laudromat and is passionate about clean clothes (a woman after his heart). I liked Pecker because Martha Plimpton calls all the gay guys "Mary" and I've always wanted to do that but couldn't because I don't want to insult anyone.

One of my favorites is Serial Mom because she kills people for stuff that I'd at least like to yell at them for - white shoes after labor day, not recycling or not wearing a seatbelt.

Where do you get dialogue like this:

Misty Sutphin: I'm stood up! I'll kill that bastard!
Beverly Sutphin: Don't use those words unless you mean them, Misty.

Beverly Sutphin: Do I need a lawyer?
Chip Sutphin: You need an agent.

Chip: So happy I could shit.
Beverly: Chip, you know how I hate the brown word.

[Juror #8 is talking on a payphone, when Beverly comes up behind her and grabs the phone from her]
Beverly Sutphin: You can't wear white after Labor Day!
Juror #8: That's not true anymore.
Beverly Sutphin: Yes it is! Didn't your mother tell you?
[She whacks her in the face with the phone]
Juror #8: No! Please! Fashion has changed!
Beverly Sutphin: No... it hasn't.
[She hits her again]

It sounds hilarious. I really liked Hairspray when it came out, too.
