I could listen to john waters talk all day.
Me too
Me three. His persona is the person I wish I was (were?).
And night
lol I just said that in a post on another John waters video 😊
Certainly talks about people’s skin color a lot.
John Waters has a quick wit and really sharp sense of humor. Steve Buscemi should play him in a story of his life
He will.
I shall whole heartedly share, sign and donate on that petition!
Waters straight up said he wants Steve to play him
yas!!!!
Great casting!
His interviews, his books, his live appearances, are always amazing. If I could pick one celebrity to sit down and have dinner and a conversation with, it would absolutely be John!
SerialGothQueens he is my first choice for the old 5 people you could invite for dinner. And if dead people were an option I'd pick Divine for him and Jackie Kennedy
Should be a comma after "old" my apologizes
You missed out the main thing. His *FILMS*
@@totallybored5526 Not at all. His films go without saying, since they're how I was introduced to him.
HE IS AN INTERNATIONAL TREASURE. I HAD A CRAPPY DAY BUT THIS RESTORES MY SPIRIT. ROARING LAUGHTER REPETEDLY WILL DO THAT. TY JOHN
He gets funnier and more brilliant the older he gets.
That John Waters is amazing doesn't surprise me. But can we also give props to this interviewer? He's fantastic in this role.
This is by far this best interview ever. The Audience loves him.
Growing up in a small Wisconsin town, I discovered John Waters in my teens and it always felt like his most notorious films were a secret I was privvy to. I loved few things more than watching my friends' faces as I forced them to watch "Pink Flamingos." I loved trying to spot the surviving Dreamlanders in each new film and mourned them as their numbers gradually dwindled. It's been endlessly surreal in the years since to see how there were clearly many others like me out there who were equally in love with his work. Who would have thought "Hairspray" would become one of the most beloved new musicals of the new millenium with John Travolta playing Edna Turnblad in the remake? Who could have predicted "Pink Flamingos" would be considered culturally significant enough to be selected for preservation in the National Film Registry? God only knows what the future holds for his material even after he's gone. The lesson we can learn from this? Never underestimate the number of people out there who are willing to hold a drag queen eating dog $#!t in the highest regard.
John Waters is the most modest humble person in the world!
John Waters is a legend. Love him so much.
Hilarious and fearless, a soul crafted from both the seediest shit and the purest gold.
Thanks for your comments!
sort of like rolling a turd in glitter
Female Trouble is my favorite movie of all time. Long live Dawn Davenport and John Waters.
Desperate Living!
My favorite John Waters films are
1.Pink Flamingos
2.A Dirty Shame
3.Serial Mom
What a career. This is inspiring. Follow your bliss, no matter what anybody says.
John's got the greatest sense of humor. I love the guy and his movies.
a true Baltimore treasure
I love Jon waters!
And The interviewer was so good too! He really knew his stuff and let the story come without interruption
Although I have seen and enjoyed his earliest movies I like the actual person so much more. He's a good story-teller and a nice person who seems grateful to the Universe for his existence and I am glad for him.
John Waters looks so good for being 73. He has a brilliant mind ! His movies became a classic. Always loved his mustache and my favorite color orange looks great on John .
I never really liked his movies... but he is one of the most entertaining people I've ever seen
John Waters is an American icon!
I had no idea John Waters could be so fascinating and funny I could listen to him for days. I really miss Divine what a Wonderful Charactor he was
I'm a movie buff, I love cinema and if someone would ask me which director I would like to be the most, I would definitely choose John over Kubrick or even Coppola in a split second, that's how much he has influenced my art, my life and his vision of women is absolutely stunning and remarkable! he killed misogyny in cinema!
John waters .....my hero..8 years old
I
watched female trouble. Made me the happy artist I am today ... what a wonderful man
Xx.
He truly seems like the happiest man on Earth. A freind of mine met himi at a rest area when he was hitch hiking across the country. See POLYESTER . The best JOHN WATERS movie.
Seen it. Loved it. Polyester is the one where he introduces "Odorama" -- a scratch and sniff card with ten scratchy spots, cued in the movie when to scratch. Of course, one was an old man farting in bed. You know John. LOL
One of my old friends in Alabama had about a dozen of the original SCRATCH N SNIFF cards from when he saw it at the theater. Being from CT the part when Cuddles yelled "' God I wished I lived in CT!!'' cracked me up.
A brilliant man. I’d love to him talk with Pedro Almidovar about each other’s films.
Yes, making art, independent innovative art with film, photo, ... was difficult, hard, a real labor of love.
Genius beautiful guy!!! My Hero
John's movies are a big part of my life. Very smart with a twisted mind. I love him.
not just a film maker also one of the biggest thinker.
Just saw John Waters 2018 Christmas Special at The Neptune Theatre in Seattle, Washington. Legendary performance! Hope someone was able to get a recording of it. It’s a must see!
He's attitude is amazing
John Waters = National Treasure
Thank you, John Waters. I was one of those majority people.. and was just.... "pissed off". And you helped me find ground through your comedy, through counter culture.
A very excellent interview. Thank you BFI..
The one famous person I would fan girl over if I ever met. John Waters.
I love the outfits...(the host) Black on black on black, with black, and Orange is the new black. Where- do you get an ORANGE! suit coat? I love John Waters. So unique.
I love how Mr. Waters is, at root, a good boy. Just an ambitious kid who looks at the world and wants to be a proper scout.
WE LOVE YOU JOHN !
gil wood I want to meet this man!
John Water is Amazing!!
I just watched Multiple Maniacs for the first time yesterday and loved it. On UA-cam trying to find Its a Filthy World but this interview is just as entertaining. John would be a lovely lunch date
The story of filming the spoof of the Kennedy assassination is one of my favorite Dreamland stories.
The man is just non stop interesting!
I saw JOHN this week in Palm Springs ...WHAT AN AMAZING SHOW !
thank you john, Justin & audience. a fantastic interview. truly fun & excellent, fully.
I went to see him tonight in melb. Unfortunately I got the dates fucked up and he was on the week before. I hope he comes back to melb.
This is hilarious. Even though they both are talking to each other, it seems like they are separated by ages. British Film Institute's curator is like an archeologist trying to assign meaning to a find, and to guess what it was used for from his perspective on art, at the same time missing the very essence of John Waters, the sheer pure drive of youth and freedom of a loved child being unrestrained in his perception of the world. John Waters is here, and you're missing him entirely) I loved John on Roseanne, just because she was really in the moment with him, like a peer.
Thank you for uploading this! 💖
I'm looking forward to meet John Waters talk business & want advice about making films
Happy 75th Birthday John Waters
I love JW. On a bad day, I find clips from those PF and FT and ... instant anti-depressant.
Just Brilliant
39:49 - It took me a few plays to figure it out, but Waters made a reference to a line in Serial Mom which would get a big laugh in light of what's happening in the news - it's Bill Cosby. AN old hag rents a Bill Cosby movie, Ghost Dad, or something like that - anyway, it was funny enough 20 years ago to show someone being really uptight about masturbatorially hanging onto "family values", but NOW - the fact that this uptight old lady LOVES a guy who did what he's accused of. The BEST IRONIC LINE EVER!
I love John waters
He is a treasure.😎
One of my favourite people in the world. .him and divine ..
John Waters can get it any day in my book.
2019 thanks for uploading !
this outfit is legendary
I'm so happy this interview is happening in England - in America audiences always have to clap after every title they recognize. Drives me nuts.
That doesn't always happen, it kind of depends where you are it's almost a regional thing. It is very strange though.
So Gene Siskel wanted to see a live snuff film? Wow... that's a guy who REALLY liked to party.
At what timepoint did Waters mention this one?
(I think I missed it ...)
Gene's brain...
I think he probably wanted just to expose whatever he found - after all, the man's favorite movie was Babe.
Man. I wish Gene and Roger were still around, they both died of horrendous illnesses.
Please John go for Jessica Lange instead of Ms. Meryl. Although, I did love her recent Golden Globes speech. A smart, talented woman with good heart and humour.
I am glad that John Waters said that in high schools they cast Tracy Turnblad skinny or other race. Years ago at a high school play that I took my mother & grandmother to see Hairspray. And we notice that this Tracy was skinny & we were like why is she thin? 😦
“Yes there is and you can help me find it” lol
Love that man!
I wish John could make just one more BIG movie. Nothing against Tarantino, but honestly 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' forever will sound like a John Waters film. But at the same time, I'm glad John's taken a back seat. As everything is so lubricious now with Trump as President, political correctness and legalized weed, LGBTQRSTUV - and sometimes Y, terrorism vs. mass shootings. Unless John were to remake Clambake with an all Asian cast, he just can't stand out anymore. Even then, die hard fans might giggle, say WTF, buy the soundtrack on vinyl, and say it's still better than Eyes Wide Shut at least.
Seriously. Life is horrifying enough. A cancelation of John Waters (cause inevitably, that's the direction people would go) is unacceptable.
Really enjoyable
11:00 - I LOVED "Snuff"
Thanks Dog for John Waters
Cecil B. Demented, to me is a spiritual companion with Pecker, where they both comment on independent art but from very different perspectives and tone.
I love the look my family gives me when I talk about John Waters being a big influence on my work. "The Pink Flamingos guy?"
You bet your ass.
"Get a cold." OMG. That one got me like 5m later....
He is my idol
Fantabulosa...
The fact that Gene Siskel wanted to find a snuff film set is pretty unnerving.
Siskel and Ebert had some really bad takes back in the day. I was never a huge fan of Siskel and while I never really agreed with all of Eberts critiques - but I have to say that Roger Ebert was an absolutely fantastic writer when it came to writing about themes and the ethos of movies. Have a lot of respect for him because of his writing.
where's his Kennedy center honors? well with the GOP in office, it will have to wait. the man is an American treasure!
I thought this was the extended version.. yet the questions cut out at the same point. Will we ever get to see the full version please ?
He’s the funniest man who’s ever lived!
He always reminds of Curry as Rooster from Annie.
Snuff. the urban legend of horror always talked about. always sort after but never found.
That' orange is awesome
Wonder why “Lust in the Dust” hardly gets mentioned.... great film.
It’s not a John Waters movie
Oh I was at this and had a question about dog shit. I wonder if it’s kept in!
The John Waters/Ed Wood style of film making continues with the free UA-cam movie NIGHTMARE IN ZOMBIE CITY!!!
The man is a GOD
THANK GOD he never did A Confederacy of Dunces with Divine. It would have been terrible. John Candy would have made an excellent Ignatius.
I want him to be my grandfather.
Art Linkletter was horribly emotionally abuse to Diane, he threw her off his "family" shoe, because he deemed her "too fat and ugly." he pretty much drove her to suicide, primarily because she refused to tow the family party line, and was a bit to liberal for him.
"let's get naked n' smoke"
John knows the ninja turtles..... i knew i liked him lol
Did John ever work with Ed Wood ?
John Waters barely ever comments on Danny Mills (Crackers in Pink Flamingos). Does he ever explain why Danny Mills only acted in that one film?
In the commentary track for the DVD, John says that Danny isn't very happy to talk about being in Pink Flamingos
John Waters chats to the Queen Termite.
I loved connie and Raymond marble John waters best film. Though some
Scenes are a little much for me.
Oh the interviewer is very Divine coded
Fat?
I missed John in Briz, is he still in AUS??????, get him to contact me, lets make a movie together, i was given the same shit as a man back in the day unfort as a straight guy; a hero in most ways than one, my friends would make a great film as 'misfits' of a new time with good hearts. Passsssionate about film I want to work with some of you.
we need to hear more about the financed but unproduced film
Listen to his comments on the mommy dearest dvd.its a scream.
thomas binninger yes it is. One of my favorite of all his DVD commentaries
I wish the interviewer would quit interrupting.
NATIONAL TREASURE
so funny
