<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In these 15 essays, reprinted mainly from "American Film, National Lampoon" and "Rolling Stone," the Baltimore filmmaker of dubious taste ("Pink Flamingos") and author ("Shock Value") irreverently comments on frivolous, tacky elements of American lowlife.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An outrageous collection from the uniquely legendary John Waters, updated with new material--including Waters's 2002 <i>New York Times</i> article, "Finally, Footlights on the Fat Girls."</b> <p/><i>Crackpot, </i> originally released in 1986, is John Waters's brilliantly entertaining litany of odd and fascinating people, places, and things. From Baltimore to Los Angeles, from William Castle to Pia Zadora, from the <i>National Enquirer</i> to Ronald Reagan's colon, Waters explores the depths of our culture. And he dispenses useful advice along the way: how not to make a movie, how to become famous (read: infamous), and of course, how to most effectively shock and make our nation's public laugh at the same time.
