i have see most of john water film . with the exception of several of his very early one which be not available and i have actually see just about all of them and so it obvious i be a big fan and it certain that i have a high tolerance for the gross and irreverent in his film . while way over the top and disgust and i adore female trouble and polyester two monumental tribute to bad taste and excess that be seriously funny film . so i be certainly not squeamish and can take most of what water have to offer . however and in pink flamingo he have create a film so repellent and so unfunny and so offensive that i couldn not even stand it . in his other film he make before he become more mainstream and they be funny . yet here and the humor just isn not there a it seem the intent be to shock the viewer and not entertain them in any way . i be glad that after make this film and water sense of humor improve and a divine consume dog feces ( a in this film ) be shock but not the least bit entertain . my advice be to skip this film and just pretend it never happen and then watch his infinitely well film of the 70 and 80 .
