But it’s a very, very different time for humor now than it was when I started the book. I've written fiction my whole life-all my movies are fiction.
I’ve always wanted to write a novel because I love to read novels.
#OLDER BLACK GAY MEN TUMBLR MOVIE#
John Waters: Ten or fifteen years ago, the part about a woman stealing suitcases started as a movie idea. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.Įsquire: Where did Liarmouth begin for you, and how did it take shape over time? Ahead of the work's release, Waters spoke with Esquire by phone from his home in Provincetown, where the conversation ranged from eargasms to travel tips to the state of American comedy. In his acknowledgments, Waters aptly describes how, in writing Liarmouth, he risked veering into “fictitious anarchy.” That’s as good a description as any for this campy, raunchy, surreal story, rife with ribald pleasures. Their cat-and-mouse caper brings them into contact with unforgettable characters like Marsha’s mother Adora, who runs a dog facelift clinic Richard, Darryl’s talking penis and Poppy, Marsha’s trampoline-addicted daughter, who’s also the leader of a cult for bouncing enthusiasts. Marsha has promised Darryl sex for his services after one year of employment, but when she skips out without paying up, Darryl is out for revenge. with Liarmouth, a "perfectly perverted feel-bad romance” about Marsha “Liarmouth” Sprinkle, a con woman caught up in a bad romance with Darryl, the degenerate loser with whom she steals suitcases from airport luggage carousels. The filmmaker, writer, and artist takes his first bow. His debut in the format arrives today, and it’s a characteristically Waters-ian phantasmagoria of good, unclean fun. The legendary Pope of Trash has battled censorship, dropped acid, and hitchhiked across America, but until recently, one thing eluded him: writing a novel. Nolan’s backup showed up, though, and hauled the shady CIA peeps away.At 76 years old, there’s not much John Waters hasn’t tried. (Something about losing his wife/family, because of the CIA…? The sound on my screener was muddy/inaudible.) They then went to take him away, when Pasdar’s goons showed up and a brief firefight broke out. That night, Nolan and Clark located Gurin at an aquarium, where he insisted on sharing his story. Back at the LAPD, the agent explained the Enervo op, which was designed to destabilize countries without firing a single bullet - but now Gurin was using it against them. Nolan had deftly slipped his cell into her jacket, though, so they were able to track her and later ambush the CIA convoy and reclaim Bradford’s pal. Not waiting for Nolan to catch up, Simone approached and tried to chat up Gurin by herself, but that led to a brief brawl, where the Russian walloped the unarmed trainee hard, and then ran off.īradford reached out to a onetime hook-up who is with the CIA, but as soon as they mentioned “Enervo” she feared the worst - and rightly so, since Pasdar’s armed minions pulled up in SUVs to haul her away. This led to Zeke sketching a Russian candy bar that the guy munched on, and that in turn - thanks to some Russian musicians that Simone’s dad Cutty sometimes jams with - led Simone to a store. But after Garza and Grey left, we realized that Pasdar and his team had their own, secret interest in hunting down Gurin….įollowing a drive during which we learned that Agent Fox is gay and Simone herself is bi, Fox tasked Clark with rifling through screens and screens of tipline calls possibly about the Russian, but “people person” Simone instead sneaked off to talk to locked-up Zeke, her former student, asking if he remembered anything else about the bomber. Grey and Garza swung by the local CIA office, suspecting as they did that the bomber had been a Company man and/or on their own radar, due to his fingerprints coming up classified, but CIA director Adrian Pasdar played dumb. One truck did explode, collapsing an overpass on the 110, killing 17 people and injuring dozens (though this all happened off-screen), but the other four were all tracked down and stopped, even if Nolan did need to gingerly-ish crash into the last one.
