Cecil B. Demented
The title for this movie is rumoured to have started after a columnist referred to John Waters as "Cecil B. Demented. This movie is about a renegade director named, Cecil B. Demented who heads a film crew with similar absurdist ideals. Together they kidnapp the famous movie star, Honey Whitlock (Melanie Griffith). This crew ambushes several public places and takes over, creating a violent, yet entertaining plot--all the while chanting "Demented Forever!"
"Cinema terrorists - join the revolution against Hollywood movies! From the empty seats of every good movie theater in America, we will rise up and take back the screen. No english language remakes of foreign films! No more movies based on stupid video games! No sequels to tiresome big-budget blockbusters! Become an avenging angel for underground cinema! ... Stop the mass distribution of mediocre movies! ... Sabotage the cinema, take back the screen! Vandalize the movies, bring back the dream! CELLULUNATICS AND CINEMA SURVIVALISTS, MAKE GOOD MOVIES OR DIE! DEATH TO THOSE WHO ARE CINEMATICALLY INCORRECT!!"-Cecil B. Demented
