Written, directed, scored, and starred in by Vincent Gallo.

One of the most interesting films with interesting characters i've seen in a while.

Anyone seen it?

I saw it on video the year it came out, but I haven't seen it again since. I don't remember much about it.
Vincent Gallo was at the Bright Eyes gig in Omaha last week.

I think it was easily one of the shittiest movies I've ever seen.

yeah, the only worthwhile part was the stick-shift scene.

I really dig Gallo, which apparently puts me into the minority pretty much anywhere I go. I thought Brown Bunny was excellent, and Buffalo 66 was worthwhile as well. I wish he had a better reputation. His music ain't bad either.

I only like it because the watching scenes with the parents of VG's character is like watching scenes of my own parents. Otherwise, boring as hell.

Brown Bunny... now there's a movie. I slept through most of the movie pre-blow job, giggled through the blow job scene, and then felt really sad for VG for the rest of the movie. It was okay.

Tiny V Gallo is pure comedy. I love how he claims to have invented hip-hop and feigns hate for women. Little man's complex works in mysterious ways. I like him enough and enjoyed this movie if not only for B Gazzara, A Huston and M Rourke's performances. That Arquette was pretty nasty, too. Why all the hate?

I remember being excited about seeing it, but afterwards, felt underwhelmed. Weird vehicle for Christina Ricci to pick for resume padding.

I spent way too damn much time in that bus station when I was a college student.

the only thing that saves this film is the cast.
vincent gallo is a HACK.
this is as close to an artist as he's ever going to get. his half-hit-wonder.
he's not nearly as clever as he (and the indie art punks) thinks he is.

I liked it, I think. Hard to understand the strong feelings either way.
