Here’s your “Friday Fun Video” that has nothing to do with politics, thank GOD. This week, Wonkette videographer Liz Glover is wearing her other hat as BlackBook reporter in New York City for Fashion Week, an event to honor 9/11 with fancy clothes. Liz interviews insane “art film” director and actor Vincent Gallo and asks him, comically, if his leather jacket is “pleather.” Gallo loses his shit and threatens to track down Liz and fuck her up. Ha ha! Liz responds that her father was in ‘Nam, which he was. [BlackBook]

Liz for Veep!

Fashion guys are ass kickers!…. Im going in a corner

BUT WHAT FABRIC WERE HIS SHORTS?

What an asshole. Really.

Will you marry me?

Bagglio Ordonez September 12, 2008 at 3:11 pm

Wow, who knew that Quentin Tarantino was so touchy about the material of his jacket.

Good thing she didn’t ask if it was muslin.

rmontcal September 12, 2008 at 3:12 pm

Why would she grovel to that asshole who just threatened her?

Gopherit v2.0 September 12, 2008 at 3:12 pm

We’ve got your back, Liz.

“I’ll track you down and make you wish you were never born.” Bwahahahahahhahahaha!! Oh NOES!! Vincent Gallo is gonna get all in my shit! I’ll never be able to sleep again!

The Maverick formerly known as KevoTron September 12, 2008 at 3:13 pm

Epic fucking douche. His movies suck too.

Gopherit v2.0 September 12, 2008 at 3:13 pm

[re=94817]Bagglio Ordonez[/re]: Yeah, it’s not like she asked him whether he thought his oily skin could be used to end the fuel crisis.

SloppyCronkite September 12, 2008 at 3:13 pm

HAHAHAHAHA. What a douche. All his films suck balls. Why does FASHION hate America and allow talentless directors watch fashion shows?

The Maverick formerly known as KevoTron September 12, 2008 at 3:15 pm

Ten to one odds that shit is pleather. You know it is because he got so bent out of shape about it.

paolaccio September 12, 2008 at 3:20 pm

So he threatens her, she kisses his ass… and you guys put it up anyway? Now Liz’s 90 year old dad the Green Beret has to kick the ass of Mr. Warriors Come Out and Play? Stay classy Newell.

Also: “now I’m the bad guy?” A meme is born!

obfuscator September 12, 2008 at 3:21 pm

He’s totally a Bush supporter. Seriously.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 12, 2008 at 3:21 pm

So it’s leather? Animal killer. Why does he hate cows freedoms?

Seriously. Douche is almost a compliment compared to what I’d call him. Threatening to hunt down and kill someone for airing a video of what you actually said in public? I have no words.

Grr. And I have no closing tags on my italics. My mad interweb skillz are almost McCain-esque.

druranium September 12, 2008 at 3:24 pm

WOW! Vincent Gallo is really as terrifyingly off-kilter as the character he plays in his film Buffalo ’66.
Still, a great movie. But Vincent, relax.

Tawmn September 12, 2008 at 3:26 pm

What a douche! and Liz doesn’t look ANYTHING like Christina Ricci either!

grendel September 12, 2008 at 3:29 pm

[re=94836]obfuscator[/re]: He’s also a man-whore… literally… he was offering to have sex for money at one point… what a douche

grendel September 12, 2008 at 3:30 pm

His sole redeeming quality is that he got Chloe Sevigny to suck his cock on film…

[re=94851]grendel[/re]: What a Gallo!

ManchuCandidate September 12, 2008 at 3:31 pm

I’m just thankful that Vinnie didn’t offer to reenact the ending of Brown Bunny with Liz.

stribs September 12, 2008 at 3:33 pm

From now until eternity, anyone who sees Gallo on the street should greet him with “Is that pleather?”

obfuscator September 12, 2008 at 3:34 pm

[re=94851]grendel[/re]: I saw that. Wasn’t sure if it was a goof or what. He was selling his body and his collection of rare movie posters. I also recall him stating a “white chicks only” preference.

BobLoblawLawBlog September 12, 2008 at 3:37 pm

Too fucking funny! I was just thinking about him today, what with Ebert in the news and all, and thinking maybe it was time to cut him some slack, since Tarantino’s fucking car movie HAS to be worse than Brown Bunny, right? And he can’t be any douchier, right?
I hope her dad makes a necklace out of his tongue.

american mutt September 12, 2008 at 3:39 pm

This goes against everything I believe in but,

I’m a huge Vincent Gallo fan.

Don’t mess with the Gallo. Seriously.

sezme September 12, 2008 at 3:40 pm

“Mr. Gallo maintains the right to refuse sale of his sperm to those of extremely dark complexions. Though a fan of Franco Harris, Derek Jeter, Lenny Kravitz and Lena Horne, Mr. Gallo does not want to be part of that type of integration. In fact, for the next 30 days, he is offering a $50,000 discount to any potential female purchaser who can prove she has naturally blonde hair and blue eyes. Anyone who can prove a direct family link to any of the German soldiers of the mid-century will also receive this discount.”

from Vincent Gallo’s sperm-for-sale online store. http://www.vgmerchandise.com/store/pages.php?pageid=4

Ooooh! Kweeepy!

Lazy Media September 12, 2008 at 3:47 pm

So, he’s not just a defensive ugly guy who makes bad movies, he’s a defensive ugly Nazi? Oooh, sexy.

I imagine that was supposed to be satirical performance art. If so, it managed to suck like most of what he does.

TGY September 12, 2008 at 3:50 pm

Hm, more like ‘Vincent Giallo’.

S.Luggo September 12, 2008 at 3:50 pm

Why Gallo being mean to our Liz:
A. He feels threatened by Liz’s sexuality.
B. Fashion Week always leads to cheek-scratching among the “creative types” in the audience.
C. He’s a Republican.
D. Any of the above.

In an 08-22-04 NYT Magazine interview:
“Q: Have you met Bush?
A. I’ve met his daughter, Barbara. Zac Posen, the designer, invited me to his show and said he would seat me next to the Bush girl because I’m a Republican.
Q. Why are you a Republican?
A. If we were going to see a show of Dennis Hopper’s photographs, do you think Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton would be more sensitive to the work? I see Nixon as an intellectual. I consider Bill Clinton a huckster.
Q. There are so few right-wing actors [?] like yourself, now that the generation of John Wayne has died off.
A. I agree with you. It is not an interesting group. But I would rather have dinner with Newt or Dick Armey than with Bruce Springsteen.
Q. Perhaps you can speak at the Republican convention.
A. I would like to. They haven’t invited me yet.”

american mutt September 12, 2008 at 3:52 pm

Am I the only one here who actually owns a copy of Brown Bunny and the movie poster and saw the premiere in New York? or am I really that much of a loser?

OzoneTom September 12, 2008 at 3:53 pm

Well that explains his Republican affinity.

I’m giving Liz a 100% discount myself.

Liz, have you seen Brown Bunny? Never crouch down around VG. I wonder, if the event took place today, would she aks if it was made of Muslin.

Dave J. September 12, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Next time, ask him if his jacket is half-muslin.

Dave J. September 12, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Damn you, Mr. November. Daaaaaaaaamn you!

For some reason, I watched The Brown Bunny, and I’m convinced the Chloe fellatio scene was the only reason he even made it.

[re=94874]sezme[/re]: Speaking of self-loathing, do those “of extremely dark complexions” include Sicilians?

Who the fuck is that filty vagrant threatening Liz, why is she speaking to him when she should be kicking him in the groin and yelling for the cops, and why has noone set his vermin-crusted pleather jacket on fire yet?

Sussemilch September 12, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Ebert: (Gallo’s film) The Brown Bunny is the worst film in the history of Cannes.

Gallo: You’re a fat pig with the physique of a slave trader.

Ebert: I may be fat, but someday I’ll be thin and you’ll still have directed The Brown Bunny.

Gallo: [*&@$*#$] I curse you to get colon cancer.

Ebert: The video of my colonoscopy is more entertaining than your movie.

Cape Clod September 12, 2008 at 4:06 pm

[re=94857]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Yeah, really. I’m curious. What was the rest of the movie about?

Schadenfried September 12, 2008 at 4:07 pm

[re=94851]grendel[/re]: Yes he is, and he even deigned to say that even women who have teh ginger hair and teh black can have his services. Oh, and he said Roger Ebert looks like a plantation owner becasue he said The Brown Bunny sucked.

Republican values at work.

ZOMG!! I was at this fashion show — cos I’m an elitist — and I spotted little adorable Liz and was going to go up to her and say…hmm, what? Hi, I’m an anonymous commenter on a blog you contribute to? Yeah, there was nothing that didn’t scream LOSER about that so I just looked on from afar.

The Unfairman September 12, 2008 at 5:04 pm

Liz’s off – putting sense of general sweetness led Mr. Pleather to believe she was mocking him. This leads me to believe that he is mocked a so often he automatically assumes that anyone talking to him is mocking him.

Plus, Liz was the bigger person for apologizing for huwting widdle Vinnie’s pwecious feewings by being sooooooooo mean! Humph!

Vin obviously didn’t see the video of Liz handling that dog at the CNN cafe. Hi-YA!

Rodney Badger September 12, 2008 at 5:24 pm

Who the fuck is that dude? I know of Liz, so she must be more important. Also, Liz looks like the type of girl who could get guys to beat up other guys. She needs to start using that power.

Neilist September 13, 2008 at 12:09 am

Any fucks with Our Liz, and one of the “Mr. Sparky Family” that live in the gun safe in my closet is going to get very, very angry.

Say, “Mr. Sparky, Jr.,” i.e., the Remington 870 Express with the 18 1/2 inch barrel.

Yes, yes, I know it’s not the biggest, hardest black thing that Mr. Gallo has had shoved up his ass.

But it might be the last . . . .

(Liz: When in doubt, kick him in the kneecap. You could go for the groin, but I doubt he has a dick to damage.)

Gesh.

What a dork.

herpezhilton September 13, 2008 at 11:27 am

[re=94819]rmontcal[/re]: I was thinking the same thing. I supposed she appeared edgy for a second, but as soon as she started groveling, she looked retarded. Was she so hard up for z-list celebrities to talk that she couldn’t pull herself away from this Mickey Rourke redux and find someone else to poke fun at?

[re=95544]herpezhilton[/re]: I’d say she just doesn’t take him seriously. She’s being really patronizing there at the end. And the video was posted, with the “mean” part left in. It’s fucking fashion week, she’s not there to be a hard nosed reporter, but get fluff coverage of a fluff event. Gallo just tried to wave his dick around.

Neilist September 13, 2008 at 4:00 pm

[re=95581]Das Storminator[/re]: “Gallo just tried to wave his dick around”?

“Dick”?

You mean, as in “penis”?

As in implying that Gallo is a . . . well . . . man?

Oh.

Hmmm.

Are you sure about that assessment?

Anyway, assuming Gall is — in fact — male, “he” should reserve his “dick waving” for venues more appropriate for such activities, and with which he is more familiar, e.g., gay bath houses, the glory holes of his favorite clubs, the lock room of his gym.

Threatening young women is never appropriate. Even if she’s coming at you with a knife, rolling pin, or firearm, a True Gentleman’s only recourse is to run away.

If that is not an option due to space constraints, etc., you can pop her once in the chin, but only to disarm.

Threatening just means you’re not a True Gentleman, and not to be taken seriously. The road from there to a severe bitchslapping (or worse) when you make the mistake of threatening a True Gentleman in the same manner is a very short, and very steep, one.

(Hey, I don’t make The Rules. I only play by them.)

nycbrian September 14, 2008 at 5:04 pm

what a punk bitch – if i have to google who you are you can’t possible be a celebrity so it was an honest question as to whether he was wearing pleather! go liz! keep up the great reporting! what were you doing at fashion week anyway?

bearbait September 15, 2008 at 9:41 am

Why do we as a society give attention to idiots like this? He honestly ought to be grateful for the publicity. I’ve never heard of him and couldn’t give less of a shit if he gets hit by a bus let alone what he wears. Liz ought to hire someone to break his face for him. I’ll do it for a nickel.

Besides, McCain is up on fivethirtyeight.com and I’m already pissed. I can’t believe people are falling for this Palin shit.

Happy Fucking Monday.

bearbait September 15, 2008 at 9:48 am

Guess what? He has his own website at vincegallo.com. Judging by his intro page to the message board, he deserves what’s coming to him. Here’s a cut:

“Old messages will be occassionally pruned. However, if I notice any polluted messages, which usually come from bitter, jealous, ugly, poorly-hung men, who are unhappy at work and wished their whole life to be like me, I will remove these unproductive nasty little posts and I would like to say to these twisted queers and half-men, I feel sorry for you. All I ever wanted to do was be me. I hope one day you feel the same about yourself and release yourself from the petty, small-minded urges of polluting this message board and distracting its wonderful members. So go ahead and say whatever you want nasty about me, but know that we will all know by your insults just how small your pecker really is and how miserable your life has always been and how long it’s been since any girl under 500 pounds responded to your cheap lines at the local pub.”

huertanix September 17, 2008 at 1:28 am

What a twat. He dresses like a fracking wino from the 80s too. If I was Liz I’d have shoved that mic up his ass.

gopherit: mouthwsh… ha ha

as to original question,,,,

i absolutely loved buffalo 66 … but i didn’t realize it was a documentary.
now i wonder if something is wrong with me for liking it.

gallo is being mean probably because ‘some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused’
