Vincent Gallo Presents
A friend of mine sent me an interesting article on auteur Vincent Gallo and the author’s attempt at contacting him and setting up an interview with him. There are few notable moments in the article. For instance the time Vincent heard that a confectionary maker was going to dedicate a chocolate to him.
The woman who ran the shop, Christina Markoff, thought it might be fun to have Vincent involved in the unveiling, and so contacted the great man to see if he would like to come. Gallo responded almost immediately with a raft of demands about how the chocolate should be produced: the consistency and darkness of the cocoa powder; the design and finish of the chocolate itself; and, of course, the issue of copyright. Markoff was so scared of incurring the wrath of Gallo that she shelved her homage in confectionery and went back to making coffee creams.
Despite him being a generally cantankerous son-of-a-bitch, I still want to see, The Brown Bunny when and if it ever makes it to Vancouver.

Connecticut with out the ettiquette.. I like that. Gallo makes me laugh. He’s a good guy, a hustler. A man of the hour. I want my wife to have his children.

If you have the chance, try to find or rent Trouble Every Day. It was a film Gallo was in last year. Creepy and gory as shit. Tindersticks do the soundtrack. Good times.
