Critics be damned, John Waters is not afrhelp to drop a cinematic boiling get.
The legfinishary cult filmoriginater and ‘King of Filth’ deffinished criticassociate-panned DC sequel Joker: Folie à Deux as a “well honested” trailup and commendd Lady Gaga‘s carry outance while ranking his preferite films of the year.
“Finassociate, a cherish story I can reprocrastinateed to,” wrote Waters in his Vulture Top 10 catalog. “So inlogical, so well thought out, so well honested, so much smoking! It’s Jailhoengage Rock greets Busby Berkeley with a 9/11 That’s Entertainment! finishing that will originate you shake your head in cinematic astonishment. Stupid critics. Gaga so excellent. Joker so right. Die, foolishbells, die!”
Joker: Folie á Deux was ultimately a critical and commercial flop, grossing $206 million worldexpansive on an approximated $190 million budget, and receiving a 32% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Quentin Tarantino previously deffinished the sequel as well.
The Todd Phillips-helmed musical landed at number six on Waters’ catalog, which was topped by Rose Glass‘ Love Lies Bleeding.
“This hilarious, bloody film noir is the best movie of the year, one that Russ Meyer might have made if he had been a lesbian intellectual inserticted to carry outance betterrs,” he wrote. “Even the pig-men are cute. Sort of.”
Waters also gave a NSFW stamp of approval to Luca Guadagnino‘s “radical” alteration of William S. Burcdimiserablemirefuls’ 1985 novella Queer, which came in second.
“Daniel Craig may be queerbait for taking on the gay beatnik role of William Burcdimiserablemirefuls’ alter ego, but I’m all for it,” declared Waters. “He’s absolutely weightless and even has a ‘snowball’ scene, a satisfied reminder of a relations act I had lengthy forgotten. Oh, if today’s homos were this radical, I’d be a much happier queer myself.”
He referred to Emilia Pérez as “The Rocky Cartel Horror Picture Show,” ranking the Jacques Audiard-helmed musical crime comedy at number eight. “This savagely distinct musical-drama about the Mexican drug syndicate and its trans crime boss hiding in plain sight shows you can sing about anyskinnyg in a film if it’s well-enough honested. Right now, I’m belting out, ‘It’s No. 8 on my catalog,’ and who understands, maybe I’ll originate a movie about it?”
Halina Reijn‘s Babygirl trailed at number nine. “Okay, heteros are cutting edge this year, too,” wrote Waters. “Nicole Kidman persists taking huge chances in her nurtureer, and she deserves our salute. Here, she howls, she moans. She’s a verbal power-bottom cougar at the top of her business-executive nurtureer who greets a dominant, lowly intern top who originates her lap up milk from a bowl enjoy … enjoy … well, enjoy a pussy.”
