Best thing Aubrey Plaza was ever in was "Legion". "Legion" was/is the best thing connected to X-Men besides the Deadpools and Logan. It got ground up in the gears of the Disney/Fox acquisition, and forgotten.
Legion was X-Men? I assume this is not the same Legion with Dennis Quaid where he has to fight Sweet Tooth from Twisted metal and the angel Gabriel trying to kill the angel Micheal because he is the only one standing against god wiping out humanity.
I do not know about a new John Waters film. I like his work, but they seem to get batter as you go back in the time line. Frankly, unless it is some sort of spinoff following the lobster creature after he raped Divine I am probably going to be underwhelmed. I am not saying no, but his better days were when the studio gave him a camera and 1000 dollars and told him to get his freaky cast out of their office and mail in the finished project because they were afraid they would kill everyone. Then the cast went out and bought a shitload of drugs and filmed the movie in their home and the park on a weekend while fucked up on goofballs. At the end of the weekend they burned the fucking trailer and all the evidence and filmed it, and bingo you had a movie.
Nope. It's a show. The son of Xavier is so powerful, he warps reality when he trips balls. But he doesn't know he's the son of Xavier. They reveal that really slowly. Government agents and powered villains seek to take him out. Aubrey Plaza's physical body gets splattered, but her soul comes back in Legion's head as a sort of female Freddy Krueger. It's hot as fuck.
So no cannibal wall climbing grandma? I am not overly impressed with Waters in his approved for human consumption productions. I cannot even remember a scene from Hairspray. I get some people like it, but how could a movie written and Directed by him with Mink Stole, Divine, Sonny Bono, Ricky Lake, and Waters himself leave no lasting mark on my mind way back then? This is probably because to make it into the mainstream they had to cut out most of the fun of his other movies. Maybe they will find a good place to market this that is not sanitized for the consumption of the american, but unlessa this is being released on a service that will not censor him, I am not expecting much.
Hairspray is Grease with black people. That's the one point I give Hairspray. I hate Grease, I think it's overrated. I wouldn't have bothered giving it the patch fix. But, maybe Waters's way of thinking is you have to get middle-America where it lives.
