This is amazing. I would have thought the question of, “When did you learn John Waters was gay,” was sort of like asking when one learned that Herzog is German. The discovery happens at the exact moment you become aware of the person’s existence.

Another good AVClub article... am I getting my hopes up that things are on an upward trajectory? Maybe never back to the heyday, but back to something more than gossip non-stories is welcome! Thanks, Matty S.

I build puppets for theatre sometime, I am so excited about the practical effects on display here. omg.
