MONDO TRASHO
I was trying to find an apt picture for Thanksgiving, and my mind drifted to John Waters' 1969 film Mondo Trasho, because I recalled the opening sequence involved a masked executioner in a muddy garbage dump, beheading chickens with a hatchet. Perfect, thinks I. Now, do you think an enterprising boy can find such an image on the Glorious Internet? I reckon not.
It's been many years since I saw that movie, but I remember a toe-sucking fetishist (Acidman, call your attorneys) and the scene where Mary Vivian Pearce gets her feet amputated and replaced with chicken feet. John Waters is a lot of things. Slick is not a word that comes to mind.
Following the foot theme, when I was at Emory there was a freakish jackanape running around Atlanta stomping womens' feet. These were savage attacks, too. He was wearing huge hogpen brogans, and he was seeking out women in high heels, and when he stomped their feet he was crushing arch, bone, everything. He was crippling these women for life. What a sick fuck.
I bring this up because Waters incorporated that character in his 1981 film Polyester. There's no accounting for taste, especially when you don't have any. I can't believe I used to pay money to watch that shit.
A propos of nothing, I spent the last year of college living back of John Waters, across a patch of waters. We used to sneak out and steal his firewood when we ran out (our 'house' had no heat).
He never complained though. Probably didn't care.
