I've not seen all of Waters' later films but those I have seen always remind me of just how much he relied on Divine's persona. Even some of the earlier films that didn't include him (Desperate Living) seem to lack a kind of centre. I'm sure Waters would be the first to admit that Divine was irreplaceable but I wonder if he realises just how much. And not just Divine. David Lochary too, and Edith Massey, and Cookie Mueller - all of whom were just as integral to the success of films like Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble as Waters was, and arguably even Divine. Now we have the likes of Johnny Knoxville, which hardly compares. IMHO.
