A director's films do not define what kind of a person they are. John Waters is a living proof of this.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I've adored Mr. Waters' work since 1986! 💗

[@Pomeray8]

Always a fun person listen to. Thanks Letterboxd! Shout out to Baltimore!

[@BishopWalters12]

Pecker is a movie that I have not thought about in years, but I remember liking it a lot.

[@SIBIRIAKoriginal]

Who else waited for him to comment on his cameo in The Blacklist?

[@Alejandro-rn4eq]

Take a picture Pecker! 📸

[@Jacobunny]

Love John Waters, crazy that he's so down to earth. And his films are so good."Art films for exploitation theatres" indeed!

[@writeralbertlanier3434]

The story in Pecker is close to what could have happened in the New York art scene in the 60s and maybe 70s.

[@sourdevin]

There's a Mouse Hunt for adults?!

[@Attmay]

Why is *Pecker* not at least on Blu-ray yet? It has a commentary track dating back to the laserdisc, which I used to have.

Thank you, John, for signing things to Chesty Vulva. 💙 I get some major laughs when people walk in and see all that stuff. 😂

[@savvastoynoysidis360]

Is his mustache fake?

[@billthecat666]

Waters has a unique I don't give a shit style. Watching some of his older films feels like committing a crime.

[@HeavyMProductions]

You've never seen rats have sex? Did you not see Bad Boys 2? Although that would come out 5 years later.
