Funniest scene from the movie.

Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea


Fabulously offbeat and refreshingly upbeat, this lovable film gets friendly with the natives of the Salton Sea an inland ocean of massive fish kills, rotting resorts, and 120 degree nights located just minutes from urban Southern California. This award-winning film from directors Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer details the rise and fall of the Salton Sea, from its heyday as the “California Riviera” where boaters and Beach Boys mingled in paradise to its present state of decaying, forgotten ecological disaster. From wonderland to wasteland, PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA captures a place far more interesting than the shopping malls and parking lots of suburban America, a wacky world where a beer-swilling Hungarian Revolutionary, a geriatric nudist, and a religious zealot building a monument to God all find solace and community.

Crisply and hilariously narrated by oddball auteur John Waters, and featuring music by desert lounge rockers Friends of Deans Martinez, PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA melds high camp with stark realism, offering both a sobering message about the consequences of tampering with nature and a heart-warming tale of individualism.

That’s one hell of an acting job there, you really believe Bobby is gacked completely out of his mind. I love the bit where he grabs the spear gun and repeatedly demands “what?!” from nobody. And then the best one-liner in the history of cinema, “did you bring the plastic men?!!” Awesome!!

Val Kilmer was still cool here. He should lose weight and be cool again.

I swear I am about to write a poem just based on that one phrase. I love how they took Glen Plummer, Vincent D’Onofrio, Val Kilmer and Peter Saarsgard out of their usual elements and placed them in roles alien to the ones they performed in the past, especially Plummer and D’Onofrio. Fantastic film man.

@abrandne That will be one of the greatest and most important unanswered questions of our time.

TimeToDiePoorMates says:

just because he’s overweight does not mean that he’s not cool … but yeah, he should slim down again, just for his health :)

“WOULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP, GODDAMMIT!!!”

cincstarfleet says:

“Did you bring the plastic men?!”

How the hell do you answer that? Especially when you’re being held at spear-point?

ChulCL says:

plastic men equals FBI, DEA, whatever. I heard that from my days of being the only white guy in Harlem.

Your comment clearly shows your lack of skills in trolling. TROLL DETECTED. You were too obvious. Nobody could watch this movie and think it was about pot. I’m sure you’ll do better next time.

Do you have more of this like the clip with the cage at groin level and Pooh?

Ricktpt1 says:

Methamphetimine, not Pot. Pot makes you too hungry and sleepy to want to pick up a spear gun. It was the sole property of dieting housewives and long distance truckers back in the fabulous 50′s. This is the grandkids endgame. But nobody has the high ground, especially if you factor in alcohol. There’s a short clip at the beginning of the movie to bring the audience “in” on the history. It’s almost as not really all that funny as this clip is……
