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.

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?

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."
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.”

That's an awful lot of money to spend just to get a hummer from Chloe Sevigny.

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.

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.
