At the movies: Pink Flamingos.

 Pink Flamingos is turning fifty.

"We honor you, Queen Carlotta!"

 

It's not often when you get a chance to write about one of the greats. So, for the AV Club's series on over-the-top villains, I had to lay some laurels at the feet of Desperate Living's Queen Carlotta. Edith Massey was one of the greats, and society is worse off without her.

A note, though. While the version currently available to rent via Amazon and the usual VoD sources is HD (which is something I never thought I'd see), it's presented in an aspect ratio that seems a little tight. Your mileage may vary.
