    A fucking amazing movie. The apex of rage and rebellion that was snuffed out and replaced with corporate shit shortly thereafter, every rebel selling out and being co-opted by the machine.
    The mainstream fucks that rule everything now and still claim to be counterculture don't have any life in them. This was the last gasp of the living generation. CBD.

    I don't know how much of John Waters' Cecil B. Demented is autobiographical, at least at the philosophical level, but this tale of cinema terrorists who kidnap a terrible mainstream actress (Melanie Griffith, I mean she's played by Griffith, not that it's THAT meta) and force her to be in their anti-mainstream movie often seems to espouse the values inherent in such Waters films as Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble. Obviously, it's taken to extremes and the cinema-ready streets of Baltimore become a battleground. The satire is a lot of fun, and even MORE fun for movie nerds who will get all the references and maybe share in the sentiment a little bit. After all, Cecil's weird, horny crew aren't monolithic in their tastes - they're just against movies as fast food, in the end. So unite, fans of film history, fringe cinema, foreign films, "filth", mumblecore, genre films, and the indie scene! Say it with me, DEMENTED FOREVER! 2 years 6 months ago
