Vincent Gallo calls Roger Ebert a "fat pig"
this is from IMDB news:
Sharp-tongued Vincent Gallo has launched a scathing attack on "fat pig" movie critic Roger Ebert - after the reviewer claimed the indie filmmaker apologized for making his widely slammed flick The Brown Bunny. The movie caused uproar at last month's Cannes Film Festival with its graphic oral sex scene between Gallo and actress Chloe Sevigny. But fuming Gallo vehemently denies he has apologized for making the film. He says, "I never apologized for anything in my life. I like the movie. I had 100 per cent creative and financial control of it and if I didn't like it, I would have changed it. The only thing I'm sorry about is putting a curse on Roger Ebert's colon. If a fat pig like Roger Ebert doesn't like my movie, then I'm sorry for him." Ebert wrote in American newspaper Chicago Sun-Times that Gallo had expressed regret for making Brown Bunny to a reporter from US movie magazine Screen International. |
sounds like Gallo is a member of this forum . . .
|
Well of course he liked it, he put himself in an oral sex scene. -ohbfrank-
|
Well, he convinced me--that always wins me over in an argument, calling people insulting, gradeschool names.
Plus, wasn't the film pretty much panned by EVERYONE, not just Ebert? |
dtcarson, you shut your mouth you bloated ape! I just put a hex on your nipples!
|
Vince Gallo...the new Kinski? ;)
|
uhm....didn't he basically apologize at the press conference at the screening? He said he was sorry to the producers, etc.....what a maroon.....
|
If anyone has seen the movie, how "graphic" is it.
|
Gallo and Iraqi Information Minister-- seperated at birth?
|
Well at least we know now that Gallo is articulate, witty and creative when it comes to insults. He'd be great at roasts: "You suck because you suck."
|
Hmm... did Gallo just find out that Ebert didn't like Gladiator, Spider-Man, or Attack of the Clones?
|
Ebert responded to the effect of "A curse on my colon? The last time I had a colonoscopy, they let me watch it on a small monitor. It was more enjoyable than Gallo's Brown Bunny."
:lol: http://charliegoose.homestead.com/files/goose.jpg Honk! |
Gallo all but wept in a Cannes interview as he described the pain of “growing up ugly,” but empathy has its limits, and he had no tears for a fat pig and slave-trader such as myself. It is true that I am fat, but one day I will be thin, and he will still be the director of “The Brown Bunny.” :lol: |
That's an awful lot of money to spend just to get a hummer from Chloe Sevigny.
|
Chloe is nasty... sounds like work to me.

I'm pretty sure that's a Churchhill quote, where some lady told complained to him at a dinner party that he was drunk. His response was, "I may be drunk, but you madame, are ugly ...and in the morning I'll be sober, but you shall still be ugly!"
A worthy use of that comeback by Ebert. |

It's called getting free publicity for an already critically maligned film.
|
Gallo is a pretentious pig. "Buffalo 66" is a piece of crap. As far as growing up "ugly", I don't find him to be be ugly....more unique looking than anthing.
|
You gotta give Gallo props, though. He used "Bullet Time" before The Matrix (using only practical effects...no CGI).
|
Do I remember correctly ..... did Gallo promise to never make another movie? Maybe he could also promise to never have another press conference.
|
Say what you will about Ebert, but man his response to that is A++!!
:lol: |
Ebert: :up:
:lol: |
rotfl

Great stuff :lol:

If anyone's currious, here's Ebert's original article about Brown Bunny in full:

This is not the first time I have heard Gallo make derogatory comments about gays, jews, and african americans.
|
I was not alone in my judgment. Screen International, the British trade paper, convenes a panel of critics to score the official entries. "The Brown Bunny" scored 0.6 out of a possible five--the lowest score in its history, the paper said. This came as a blow to the French. Their national pride could not abide the notion that an American film was worse than any of their own, and so a few days later they countered with Bertrand Blier's "Les Cotelettes." "It actually scored even worse with our forlorn international critics," Colin Brown, editor of Screen International, told me. "Seven zeroes, vs. Gallo's five zeroes." |

Man, Gallo is ugly, that'd probably be the only way to get oral sex anyhow. |
Go Ebert....that article is absouletly priceless.
And as i suspected, he DID apologize at the press conference right after.... |
"Absolutely insane stuff from Gallo," editor Colin Brown assured me. "Not only is everything we wrote in Cannes exactly as he spewed out, word for word, it was all recorded on audio tape." He added, "It makes me wonder whether this is not all some great marketing ploy on his part. I have actually come across people who say 'Brown Bunny' is top of their list of films they most want to see out of Cannes this year." |
He added, "I'm sorry I'm not gay or Jewish, so I don't have a special interest group of journalists who support me." Such comments might seem politically incorrect, but not to Gallo, who says he is a conservative Republican |

Originally posted by DVDjunkie78 Pants, are you ok man? I don't know, it just struck me as a funny thing to post. |
I'm sure a lot of people, including me, will see this film because of all the negative press it's getting. I want to see just how bad it is.
I remember hearing about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas getting booed at Cannes, and that has quite a cult following now. |
I heard the you know what was not real just like Mr Digler.
|
Wasn't he in Freeway 2 playing a Mexican tranny who molested and ate kids?
