I Am Divine. What a good show! We watched John Waters' This Filthy Life (also very good. He's a clever, witty, thoughtful guy.) a week or so ago, and I Am Divine was a good bookend.

Loved This Filthy Life, (spoke on it myself in this thread a few weeks ago), but I can't stand Divine. I just can't stand her/him. Maybe I need to watch the doc to understand her.I Am Divine.

It's interesting, and very humanizing. S/He was a complex person, but very loving.Loved This Filthy Life, (spoke on it myself in this thread a few weeks ago), but I can't stand Divine. I just can't stand her/him. Maybe I need to watch the doc to understand her.
That sounds good, wasn't aware of it but going to be from now on.I'm going to try and find both of those, then.
Has anyone been watching This American Life on Showtime? They are so random but so incredibly good. Things you never ever think about. Very good brain food.
I heard about that from one of my kids--they watched some episodes in history class I'm pretty sure it is on Netflix (or mane it was Hulu? Can't remember, but I know I looked it up to watch )I'm going to try and find both of those, then.

Watched I Am Divine last night. And, I still hate the character Divine. Crude and vulgar in my opinion, with nothing creative at all in anything he did. His schtick seemed all fat and hair and alien make up shouting at people and people shouting at him.I Am Divine. What a good show! We watched John Waters' This Filthy Life (also very good.

I think about the same about Melissa McCarthy--lol.Crude and vulgar in my opinion, with nothing creative at all in anything he did. His schtick seemed all fat and hair and … shouting at people and people shouting at him.
I know! a day or two before starting his legitimate career and poof! dead. i'd like to know what part he would have had on that show.I think about the same about Melissa McCarthy--lol.
And I agree with you about his aspirations. That made the end, when he was so excited about being on Married with Children as himself, being taken seriously (well, as seriously as that show took anything) as an actor, all the more poignant.
