We are eternally grateful to the folks at Prefix for alerting us to our patron saint John Waters’s incredible appearance on Craig Ferguson last night. The entire interview is gold: Waters gave us his suggestions for the Academy Awards (“Why isn’t Lil Wayne singing the Toy Story 3 song?”), lamented the “pubic hair generation gap,” and opined, “I’m for the rights of bad lesbian mothers.”
But perhaps Waters’s most shocking stance of the evening was this: “There’s no better movie than the Justin Bieber movie… He’s a child prodigy. He’s like Shirley Temple!” Well, they did pose for a wonderful photo together a few months ago. Also, he thought that when the Beliebers do their “heart thing” at his shows, “they meant their vagina. I was shocked because their mothers were doing it.” Watch both parts of the interview after the jump.
The world of Twitter can be hard to navigate. We know that you’re already following us @flavorpill, but we decided it would be fun (and possibly helpful) if we rounded up some of our other Twitter favorites in a series we call “The Followables.” This sixth installment of Twitter all-stars spotlights the tweeting comedians who we love. Do us a favor and leave a comment with anyone who you enjoy who didn’t make our list.
How To Train Your Dragon tells the story of a young Viking named Hiccup who befriends a wounded dragon. Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Craig Ferguson and Jonah Hill provide voice talent for the 3-D animated film, which opens next March.
Will it do for scary green dragons what Shrek did for scary green ogres? We’re sure that’s what DreamWorks is hoping, but from the trailer after the jump, it’s hard to tell. The thing that made Shrek a box office smash was the fact that it was a children’s story laced with adult humor. This one seems more action-based, which could be a misstep. We’re also thrown off by the fact that Ferrera is voicing the blonde love interest. It’s like Betty Suarez has turned into Amanda Tanen overnight.
