Demented forever!
Added 6/8/2009
John Waters' love letter to underground cinema may very well be the greatest thing he's ever done. For all its bloodsoaked slapstick and faux-revolutionary mischief, Cecil B. Demented still comes off as a sweetly eccentric ode to everything that is great and honest about art, as well as an affectionate tribute to the freaks, weirdos, and outsiders who make life so interesting. Of course, it also features an infectiously chipper Satanist, a vindictive handicapped child, a troubled porn diva, the utter annihilation of a Forrest Gump sequel, filmmaking techniques that involve grenades, Patty Hearst, and an epic battle between obese teamsters and aficionados of gerbil-based pornography. Enjoy!

When I first saw this film, it was on t.v. I didn't know what to think, but I saw it again and fell in love. This film whether or not you hate it; makes valid points throughout the film. One of the quotes is "Family is another word for censorship." I love family films but I agree with the statement. Does the MPAA rate movies correctly, sense the late sixties they have been bestowed privileges to rate movies. With all that aside its a brilliant film, some parts are disgusting and may be too crude for younger viewers. For the most part "Cecil B. Demented" is an "A" class film, in this critics mind. I suggest renting the movie first or finding a friend with good taste to watch the movie before purchasing it.

Since I was an extra in this movie, I have to say it was fantastic. I didn't give it 5 stars because Mr. Waters has done better...but it's entertaining, nonetheless.

B. Demented, check it out...
Added 7/7/2008
John Waters at play in the fields of his beloved Baltimore, once again. This time with a "gang of cinematic misfits" led by Stephen Dorff.
Melanie Griffith gets kidnapped and gets her hair bleached "right off the deep end of the Clairol color chart!". Gratuitous sex, violence and pornographic hijinks ensue.
Extra treat: Patricia Hearst plays the much-loved 'mom' of one of the cinematic "terrorists". B Demented and feel free to check this out.

Garbage still smells like stank the next morning.
Added 4/4/2008
I know that if my garbage can is lined with a scented bag, the insides still reak of yuck. Even if I tie it with a knot and place it on the curb, and the knot is finely taught and the bags lined in proportion, deep down somewhere in the recesses of my minds eye, I still know, no matter how hard I may want to candycoat it, that it is still trash.
Here then is Cecil B. Demented. I understand that my foulness of this horrible film will be a flame war for those avant-garde, art house, belly churning, curtled milk type, Grindhouse-praising 'as-if-it's-the-next greatest-thing-to-sliced-bread' groupies, however if you are a die hard john waters fan, what's there not to love?? If he made poop walk, you would think it was fascinating.
Waste money, buy this, and then trash it. It is as appealing as leaving your trash untied and unkept in your living room. Pure and total ca-ca.
