Hell Hath No Fury Like An Idiot's Scorn
John Waters is one of the best writers and directors. Writing such gems as Hairspray and Cecil B. Demented. I tell ya, the guy is a genius.
Well today while struggling to stay awake for the first leg of my 11 hr workday, I stumbled upon his new project....hosting a true-crime series on Court Tv called 'Til Death Do Us Part . It's basically recreations of actual husband/wife murders that has happened over the years.
So anyhoo, I was watching for the first time today and this episode called The Bog is on.
Now, I know overall, murder is not to be giggled at, laughed at, or even amusing, but this episode was really somethin else.
Basically, a couple who have only known each other for two weeks gets married so that she can start flying free on her boyfriend's airline in which he is a flight attendant.
Well 3 years and hardly any sex later, they get into a fight over the fact that he seems to flirt with another girl and he also doesn't seem interested in sex with his wife anymore.
They get into a really bad-acted fight that sorta reminds me why I only like watching these kind of shows when I'm desperately bored. Then she confides in his best friend and fellow flight attendant, a very handsome man.
Well after some time, she comes back from a vacation alone to hear her husband and his best friend arguing about something. When confronted, her husband finally admits that he's been having an affair and is currently in love with.....wait for it......wait for it.......HIS BEST FRIEND!!!!
[insert surprised gasps here]
Yeah, we couldn't see THAT one coming.
Well instead of doing what most women would do and that would be to say, "Wow, okay...ummm see ya..." This genius of a woman decides to wait until hubby's "best friend" is gone to threatend him with an axe.
Telling him that he CANNOT leave her for his lover and telling him that the reason she won't let him go is because "You are MINE. You belong to ME!!!"
At this point, you're thinking....okay, wild-eyed, bad acting, messy haired woman screaming with an axe in her hand....he's gonna die tonight!!
Not quite. He wrestles her for the axe, gets her on the floor, gets the axe away from her, straddles her and proceeds to strangle her. At this point, the wild, wide-eyed crazed look she once had is now transferred to his eyes while she just looks pissed off as he strangles her.
She dies nice and fast and without much drama after 30 seconds of this (verrrrrry realistic....she didn't even have fake marks on her neck).
What got me rolling on the floor laughing was the part right after he realized she is dead. He gets up and says, "Marsha??"
Well to speed this up....he winds up hiding her body in a bog in his backyard then getting away with her murder for some years. Then one day while he and his lover are in the backyard with some I think, (I stopped paying attention to write this blog) friends of theirs, the family dog runs to the bog and digs up a human skull.
So of course, at this, the jig is up for gay-flight attendant-turned murderer.
This is a pretty entertaining show. Bad acting, funny as hell plots, and of course being hosted by the one and only John Waters....you can't beat it!! Well you could, but make sure you don't leave marks and for God's sake...don't hide the body anywhere on your property....
