“Del Shores: My Sordid Life” out on DVD today!

I’m so far behind on my DVD viewing it is getting a little pathetic. Among the very appealing possibilities in my pile is Del Shores: My Sordid Life which was released on DVD today.

I had hoped to watch it and have a review by today and surprise Del’s very patient and persistent publicist but the workload has been too heavy lately. So, I’m going to post this trailer for now and point out my favorite line from it: “I’m so co-dependent. When I die, someone else’s life is gonna flash before my eyes.”

Mr. Shores is, of course, the creative force behind Sordid Lives (the movie, stage play and TV series), Daddy’s Dyin’: Who’s Got the Will? (play and movie) and the play Southern Baptist Sissies, among many other works.

“I write to entertain, I write mainly to make y’all laugh,” he says in the trailer. “If I am able to make you think, if I’m able to make you cry, for me, that’s a bonus.”

I hope to get to the DVD and watch it all very soon!
