Movies usually suck. We have Robin Williams being paid twenty million dollars to put an enema bulb on his nose and creep us out. Crappy sequels to mvoies that were no good to begin with surround us. And don't get me started on the hollywood remake of the beautiful foreign film. An while most of us would just sit and bear it, Cecil B. Demented, the ultimate auteur, is gonna do something about it!


Cecil B. Demented, the latest savagely funny opus from the "pope of trash" himself John Waters, tells the story of Cecil and his group of cinema outsiders, called the sprocket holes. They are fed up with the shit the hollywood system throws their way, and they decided to make their own film, guerilla style. So they kidnap a huge hollywood star, Honey Whitlock, who is an asshole movie star dive who makes annoying romantic comedies. They force her to star in their film, Raving Beauty, about insane theatre owners who overthrow hollywood. Eventually, Honey switches sides and joins with the sprocket holes, which all leads into an action packed finale at a drive in, where the sprocket holes will not leave alive with finishing their film!!!!


The plot is, obviously, based around the story of Patty Hearst, the famous rich oil heiress who was kidnapped by terrorists, and had to help them with their crimes so they wouldn't kill her. Hearst actually appears in the film, as the mother of one of the sprocket holes.


This movie has been savaged by critics, who obviously just lack the joke. But, ah well, fuck 'em. Like Cecil would give a shit what the critics think anyway.

MEMORABLE LINES


CECIL B. DEMENTED: Power to the people who punish bad cinema!

HONEY WHITLOCK: Some kind of happiness is...a screwball romantic comedy. It's life affirming, but realistic. And, in this world we live in, couldn't we use a little optimism in the movies.

CHERISH: I've played you in tons of porno movies. Some Kind Of Happiness? We've alreay shot it. Only it's called "Some Kind Of Hornyness". But that's all behind me. I'm an outlaw cinema girl now.

CECIL B. DEMENTED: Don't worry. We're horny...but our film comes first!

CHERISH: When I was twelve, my whole family fucked me under the christmas tree.

CHERISH: Jingle balls my brother would sing. Jingle balls.
