So much fun doing this podcast about my new coedited volume Refocus: The Films of John Waters. Thanks John for the invitation! @edinburghup.bsky.social #johnwaters #film

This is a beautiful sentiment. The only thing you can do when a near-centenarian dies is to celebrate a long life, but in the same way de Oliveira’s passing was sad, or Scorsese’s will be, his was not merely a life well lived but still actively being lived.

George Michael's lasagna recipe

Somehow I didn't know about George Michael's lasagna recipe until now. Half a jar of mayonnaise and hard-boiled eggs, you say?

Recommend. Such a smart and fun look at the literary side of John Waters. With some Divine filth mixed in (in)appropriate doses. 🔥💩😋👀 #filmsky #booksky

They should invent a university that prioritizes teaching and research

Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

Only Canada knows how to do it right...

"Art opens up what is possible."

And we were in skirts following all of the protocol from the Chronicle so we could magically think our way into jobs.

Sunday to Wednesday! Quentin Tarantino and John Waters’ idol Tura Satana (cult icon and burlesque legend, star of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!) is honored with a posthumous legacy documentary narrated by Margaret Cho directed by Cody Jarrett (Sugarboxx)!

I sat in on his class as a grad student who suddenly wanted to start working on Modernist film. Huge loss.

My copies arrived! So wonderful to finally see Refocus: the Films of John Waters in print.

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

John Waters loves William Castle and followed in his footsteps with Odoroma! Castle is such an important filmmaker who doesn't always get the scholarly love he deserves.

I've thought a lot about the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex finds out that the droogs he used to rampage with are now policemen

And that's why it's now it's such a radical thing.

Would love to be on Writers on Film. What are the next steps to make this happen?

And I'm delighted to have it included. These are both excellent volumes.

Accurate depiction of what revision sometimes feels like.

College credit for watching John Waters movies? There’s a class next spring. A college course, a literary tribute, and an award are all on the horizon for Baltimore filmmaker John Waters.

I'm thrilled to be offering this class, which runs through May, and coediting the first scholarly volume on Waters.

My childhood was elegant homes, tree-lined streets, the milkman, building backyard forts, droning airplanes, blue skies, picket fences, green grass, cherry trees. Middle America as it’s supposed to be. But on the cherry tree, there’s this pitch oozing out – some black, some yellow – and millions of red ants crawling all over it. I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.

When I’m struggling to write, I often go back to this David Lynch quote.
