    The legend of Chile Verde tells of men and women who became slaves to their passions. They paid the price here under the blistering, burning, blazing, scorching, roasting, toasting, baking, boiling, broiling, steaming, searing, sizzling, grilling, smoldering, VERY HOT New Mexico ...( read more)sun. For there is a saying in these parts: those who lust in the dust shall die in the dust

    A second pairing of Divine & Tab Hinter just isn't as funny (or tasteless) as John Waters's Polyester. Great to have Henry Silva in the cast though even if it was brief.
