Vincent Gallo…

April 3rd, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 34 Comments

Look at me!

…Wants you to know that he doesn’t like you very much at all. It’s difficult for him not to like you, but when his energy is relentlessly devoted to loving himself, well, there’s really nothing left for you, is there? No, sorry.

I said look at me!Vincent knows and understands this. Actually he resents this. In fact, what the hell do you want from Vincent Gallo? He’s out there working, day in and day out, attending parties, posing in his underpants, insulting people for no reason; you know, being an artist. Why should he spend a half a moment on you? This is my favorite picture of me.How dare you even ask him?! See? it’s your fault Vincent Gallo loathes you, you and your pathetic desire for Vincent to spend even a nanosecond thinking abut anybody or anything besides Vincent. How can he work under these conditions?!

What a gorgeous man I amThere, now you’ve done it. The brilliant song Vincent had running through his head is gone. he hopes you’re proud of yourself. Now just sit there, and shut up, and listen closely while Vincent shows his undying contempt for you in this delicately rendered masterpiece.

UPDATE by Bill:

Spinning girls in underwear makes Vincent cry.

And yeah, that last girl is exactly who you suspect it is.*

    Yikes. I was just sitting here thinking ‘Vincent Gallo? Is he the Brown Bunny guy?’ Now I find my fears confirmed.

    I’m sorry Amanda, fear isn’t usually something I try to instill. Or is it?

    Got a problem with me, huh? You can bite me, Gallo, you raging megatool. You and your crazyman-eyes. …Seriously, he looks in that first picture like he’s just GOT to have a basement full of dead hobos and streetwalkers.

    Its not his eyes that bug me. Its that scraggly beard that really creeps me out. I guess some people cannot or should not wear beards.

    His whole life is a piece of comedic performance art. I’m not surprised that so many people misunderstand him, since not everybody gets Gallo’s humor.

    He looks like a guy who thinks the matrix movies are deeply philosophical and can stay up all night talking about them.

    His vision of hell is a place where they are no mirrors and he can’t hear his own voice.

    I’d like to thank Vincent Gallo for personally killing God. I had always questioned the existence of a higher power but now I know that when I die there will be nothing but a black void…a void I am looking forward to.

    And by the way Vince, when you drug the women in your films do also feel the need to bruise them before or after the Roofies kick in?

    The first tart is Courtney Love or an incredible simulation of a drug-spent whore who lucked into a fortune by marrying an angst-ridden wreck of humanity with a knack for writing songs the kids really dig.

    HONEY BUNNY

    by V. Gallo

    Honey bunny
    My baby girl friend
    Sweetheart
    My sugar girl friend
    Where are you
    Eyes of blue dear
    You are my
    My everyday girl
    And everyday, everyday
    I think of your smile

    Oh darling
    You’re my darling
    I can take you away
    I can wonder with you
    Wonder everyday
    And darling
    I can see you
    When I close my eyes
    And in my dreams
    You’re always there
    Darling you remember
    The days we would spend
    And happy the place
    I could take you there

    We’re like dreamers
    In nice colors
    Childlike dreamers
    Underwater

    We’re the dreamers
    In nice colors
    And the colors
    Are like summer

    On and on
    On and on
    On and on
    Oh

    Its amazing how when you HEAR something like this it does strike you as being just a tad silly but when you READ it..and your brain is given time to analyze it. It just brings tears to my eyes.

    “Childlike dreamers…Underwater”??

    He must have had a pleasant childhood.

    After having sat through the whole dang video I started to cry myself. No, I wasn’t touched by the visual and auditory stimulus. In fact, that made me cringe. What did it for me is the question, “why.” Go ahead, watch the video again and ponder that question as you listen and see everything again. You’ll be bawling like a baby toward the end.

    As someone who, through sheer necessity, has found himself living in Los Angeles and working in the rear-end of the entertainment industry (animation), I am sad to report that Vincent’s ‘essence’ is ubiquitous in the streets of this sad town.

    As such, I have to trudge through my daily grind knowing that he’s out there somewhere… little chunks of his dandruff drifting into the Santa Anna breezes. It is quite possible - even likely - that these flakey bits find their way into my own lungs from time to time. Ick.

    Unfortunately, ‘Vincent’ is not merely one person… he’s many people in this town. Pretentious, self-important film-school clowns who slick the streets with the oil that perpetually drips from their ironically unwashed forms.

    He and his cronies almost make me hope that my childlike, innocent faith in a benevolent supreme being is 100% false and that God is a tyrannical, vengeful ultraconservative beast who will sentence Vincent and his uber-hip Hollywood-art-crowd to the deepest pits of hell just for having long hair (even if it means I get sent there as well for having a mullet in college).

    Whew. I feel better now. I’ve been waiting for an appropriate internet forum with which to voice my disliking of Gallo - so I thank you for your time.

    Now which way to the Kim Kardashian fan page?

    You know it never occurred to me until now who Vincent Gallo reminds me of, and why I loathe him so much.

    Vincent Gallo is this generation’s Jim Morrison.

    On the other hand, Jim Morrison had something that could possibly considered talent, so maybe not. But I’d say Gallo definitely rivals, if not surpasses, Morrison in terms of raw, unbridled, arrogant, pretentious douche-ness.
