The Mighnight Show

M: Recently C has been searching from what i like to call the odd cinematic Midnight Show taco theater.And as her partner in blog i followed and saw two very interesting Flicks. The first one is a called "EL TOPO" (the mole) a 1970 spaghetti western-ish cult movie starring, written and directed by Alejandro jodorosky.The film is made in two parts. The first part is "El Topo" riding horse with his son. as they journey el topo teaches his son the values of being a man. after el topo abandons his son and leaves him for some chick. El topo then takes on the 7 gun masters of the dessert each teaching him certain lessons on the living righteous in their way.Part two of the film takes place after "el topo" was shot left abandoned by a woman who took el topos girl in the name of love. El topo begins to have a rebirth in order to redeem from his past mistakes he helps the deformed in a cave by making a tunnel to the outside world.Second on the Midnight movie taco Theater is yet another classic film by " hairspray" creator John Waters.This disgusting flick is called "Pink Flamingos". The story deals with a never ending "who's the dirtiest" rivalry between Divine aka "Babs Johnson" and The Marbles. Even though the film was made in 1972 surprisingly enough its the most disgusting funniest film I've seen. In the movie divine and the marbles do constant dirty deeds and actions in order to win the who's who of the filthiest. A great film and something pretty much out of the ordinary action/adventure espionage, mafia flicks I'm used to.

C: I have two different feelings about 'El Topo' that are quite the opposite. While watching the movie I appreciated the creativity and courage it took to make such a movie and also realizes that it pushed the envelope in several different ways but I'd be lieing to you if what I felt when the movie was over was anything good. Actually the feeling that I felt when the credits rolled up after the movie was over was complete confusion.. not because it wasn't clear what ended up happening to the 'freaks' and the main character, it was just that the movie takes you so far from where you started that it kind of loses coherence in my opinion. I will say that anyone who is interested in movies should watch this one if they get the chance but it truly left me scratching my head at the end there. lol Other then that.. there is lots of violence (always a plus), graphic content, and interesting characters. So I give it a positive review all together. Just proceed with caution because the end is a little loopy lol.
Ok, Pink Flamingo's.. what a ride. This movie is as hilarious as it is disgusting.. and I use this word to its fullest meaning. Divine is awesome! This movie just dabs in every taboo imaginable.. Divines mother alone is something out of a scary movie. I mean, kidnapping women and impregnating them so their babies can be sold, incest, strange fetishes, exposing ones self in public.. its hard to know where to start. I think everyone should watch this movie entirely.. if for nothing else but the last scene where Divine eats a piece of dog poop. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. All in all its a great watch and I think everyone should take the plunge.
