This is the kind of extra this DVD edition stopped just short of including: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45GHxMVqEMc

As for your disappointment with Waters' cattiness, all I can say is what did you expect? Roger Ebert on Dark City? I mean you've SEEN a John Waters movie, right?
For under ten bucks, how can you lose?

P.S. Lypsinka appears in the featurettes. (Does she ever!) But she doesn't have anything interesting to say either... Don't get your hopes up!(sigh)

As disappointed as I am with the overly "camp" and superficial treatment of "Mommie Dearest"'s lastest DVD edition, I admit to an unhealty fascination with stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYXME4JImMc

Also see this site for a clearer picture (QuickTime): http://www.danoramaproductions.com/danorama.html and go to "The Club Room".
For those who wonder, this is what the REAL Joan Crawford looked like - and it's far scarier than anything Faye Dunaway can come up with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5goOPgau7Vs
