Covid-19 John Waters Rachel Brosnahan The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS MRS MAISEL DOING WITH JOHN WATERS?

Rachel Brosnahan’s character Midge has made a lot of progress since The Marvelous Mrs Maisel started tentatively filming season 4 with STRICT Covid rules back in January. Note the clear bubble umbrella in the top photo with it’s own oxygen source on top!
(they took excellent care of their leading lady) Shooting has off and on continued in New York, and this week shows how much progress has been made. Midge is being filmed seated on a park bench (note the vintage coke) and she’s quite close to the two other actors – including John Waters far right! Can’t WAIT to see who Waters plays on the series!

Christmas John Waters

JOHN WATERS CAN’T WAIT FOR 2020 TO BE OVER

Filmmaker John Waters had time to design personalized Christmas cards this year. The creator of Multiple Maniacs and Female Trouble (oh yes, and Hairspray) leaves no doubt about his feelings in the holiday card he sent to his friends.

ATTENTION SPY KIDS 4: JOHN WATERS INTRODUCED ODORAMA IN 1981

Director Robert Rodriguez is making a big deal out of the fact that his movie “Spy Kids 4” with Jessica Alba, is featuring what he calls Aromascope. Each moviegoer is handed a card with a numbered set of smells. At certain points in the plot they’re instructed to scratch and sniff an appropriate odor. Kids will probably be charmed by this attraction. What Rodriguez keeps forgetting to mention is the fact that John Waters pioneered this technique in 1981 in ”Polyester,” which featured scratch n’ sniff Odorama. Polyester starred Divine and Tab Hunter – all this on a $300,000 budget! Those old Odorama cards have become highly collectible, by the way. Let’s give credit where credit is due! (FYI- back in the 70’s, Divine was between movies and applied for a job as cashier in our clothing shop on Sunset Strip. We were afraid he’d scare away the customers and turned him down. In retrospect, we should have given him a chance.)
