i checked out my google alert today for vg to see what information i could shamelessly steal and pretend it's my own, when the following headline hit me in the face, "Vincent Gallo Playing Fugitive Taliban Member in New Jerzy Skolimowski Film". i was immediately excited and nervous. vg in my home state! we both grew up in upstate new york, now vincent and i would both be miserable in new jersey! sure, the information seemed a little shaky, especially since they spelled jersey "Jerzy", but i figured that it was probably in a soulja boy song that that's how you spell the state's name. who are we to correct a 17 year old from atlanta with no discernible education, linguistic ability, or an IQ surpassing that of spencer pratt?
it turns out soulja boy has nothing to do with any of this which is good, and bad.
the good part is that there is almost a 0.0% chance that soulja boy will be scoring vg's new film. on the other hand, this also means that vincent will not be in nj soon. it turns out that jerzy skolimowski is a person. considering last names alone, i don't get a good vibe about this fellow. combined with his first name, he might as well be calling himself "soulja boy".
we all know that vg will create a masterwork out of this guys movie so here's something i just stole from slashfilm to hold you over while i google jerzy skolimowski to see if his rap records are any good.
The Essence of Killing “follows the story of a Taliban member who lives in Afghanistan, kills three American soldiers and then is taken captive by the Americans. He is transferred to Europe for interrogation but manages to escape from his captors and becomes an escaped convict on a continent he does not know”.

my amateur use of the english language
if you remember the last post, my nasty little job got in the way of me seeing RRIICCEE. ever since then, we were at odds- me and my job. and by at odds, i mean that i would silently cry at my desk and then i would be carted into HR. once in HR, all parties involved would be given a brief bio on me so they wouldn't call me scott, as they were prone to do form time to time. i proceeded to blame all my workplace issues on this mystery scott fellow. if your name is scott and you're reading this and you were recently displaced from your job, then i apologize. i probably ruined your life, i'll admit that.
now that my pesky job has been eliminated from my life, i'm ready for another RRIICCEE concert.
in review of RRICCEE's website, one may assume that i was the webmaster because it has been updated erratically and infrequently. i went to my old hangout of the RRIICCEE forum (username: tomreagan aka king of the RRIICCEE message board) and i found that either the board is a victim of large scale scamming or every fan of RRIICCEE is interested in low cost pharmy's. it's a toss up. i fear that they may just wipe the whole board clean and then all of my nuanced posts will be taken from the RRIICCEE community, tragically. i still hold out hope for the board though. with topics like "mature huge boobssex filme sexo", it's clear that important discussions are still occurring there.
on the movies front, vincent has received rave reviews for his work in coppola's Tetro. francis ford coppola's fat stupid face has finally created the masterpiece that we knew he had been keeping from us. we almost want to forgive him for the shitpile that was that tim roth getting struck my lightning and losing his teeth movie. wtf was that? back to topic. Tetro is vincent at his finest. i have a feeling that a lot of people will be brought over to team vincent based on his work. the shame of the film is that it's in black and white, instead of glorious color- which vincent deserves. since i no longer have a job, i may consider adding color to a print of the film ala the wizard of oz. while i have no experience with this process, i am really good with paint by number felt pictures so i can't imagine it's much different.
vincent is also involved in this trippy computer animated movie, metropia, in which he provides the main character, roger, with a voice. luckily, roger is not a squirrel or a friendly greenish alien so this film is for adults. all of the characters have heads the size of bonos. it's quiet a unique look for a film. i have yet to see the film so i can't comment on if it's good or bad. wait. no. i can comment on if it's good. it's good. vincent is in it, how could it not be amazing?

i like rriiccee
dear whores,
sorry for the long strech of nothing going on here.
my girlfriend evicted me from the apartment we shared and instead of saying "no, you move out," I said, "Can you help me disassemble my entertainment center?"
She said no.
Moving on.
rriicce shake up
where has rebecca gone? if you go to the rriiccee myspace there is no rebecca in the picture anymore, which greatly saddens me. i'll miss her super long legs. a dashing young fell has replaced her and also erik. i know nothing about this individual. he is the sarah palin of rriiccee.
remember that chick who got fucked by a black dude in her trailer in that movie she made and there was that scene she put on makeup topless?
gallo had a part in the new argento movie, a thought which made everyone in the ENTIRE united states of america pee with joy, has since been crushed. dario insisted in casing asia in the new flick and obviously vincent wasn't too keen on this idea. i definately understand this. it would be like my job hiring my exgirlfriend. only in my case, i hate the idea because i know that she'd be far more productive at my job than i am so i would likely be passed over for a promotion in favor of her and she would have only worked there two weeks, part time.*
*this passage is in no way intended to desperage asia argento because i do think she is a sweetheart.
in other "cast my daughter in a movie and then the film takes a giant shit" news. gallo will be in tetro! tetro is the new project that coppola is working on. this is outstanding news for gallo fans, movie fans and human beings alike. with a talented director and the greatest artist of our generation joining forces, this will make the godfather look like a hootie in the blowfish album.
in i suck news.
gallo will be performing with the new rriiccee in nyc and i'm missing it because i get up early for work. pretty much i can't afford to buy a train ticket, buy a show ticket, stay up later than usual, then buy another train ticket back to jersey. if vincent ever comes upon this blog then he can feel free to ask me to take it down because i'm a shitty stalker.

RRIICCEE - NYC 12/07/07
As I waited for seating to begin for RRIICCEE's NYC debut, I watched quietly, pretending to read a copy of "The Turn of the Screw", while two hipsters flirted with a pregnant girl who was far more Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby" than Demi Moore on the cover of Vanity Fair. As the coffee shop portion of the venue, 45 Bleeker Street, began to fill, and I finished laughing at the group of 15-20 asian people having to check their cameras, the doors were opened and seating began.
After a half hour, Vincent Gallo, of Brown Bunny fame, Eric Erlandson of Hole fame, Nikolas Hass of famous sibling Lukas fame, and Rebecca Casabian of no paticular fame at all, came from behind the dark curtain and took their respective places. The first thing I noticed about the way the stage was set up was that there was no mic in the center of the stage. There was one to my left, pointed at the ground and one to my right in a similar position. Gallo took his place at the left-center stage mic, wearing a green springstein-esqe bandanna and a leather coat. Eric took the right-center, wearing a long pecoat-like blazer and no shoes. Nikolas came out with no shirt, showing a small tattoo of a heart on his left pectoral and wearing 1970s basketball short shorts and took his place on the edge of stage right. Rebecca came out in short shorts as well, but hers had black suspenders and she wore a shirt. She played the keyboard on the left edge of the stage.
As RRIICCEE began with a downtempo number, it seemed most people sat and watched Gallo as he sat and played a guitar, never looking at the audience, sometimes not even facing us. Throughout the performance, the songs switched from downtempo to harder rock and then even a hip hop drum beat. Gallo had three guitars, Eric, four, and they would routinely switch between their own guitars, but never playing each others. One would expect Haas to be the member who decided the direction of the songs as he had the power to control the tempo, but save one or two shining moments, Rebecca seemed to be the one in control for most of the performance. RRIICCEE, referred to heavily during my eavesdropping before they took the stage was widely considered "Vincent Gallo's New Band" and occassionally you could see him throwing looks to Haas or telling Rebecca something, to which her response always was "What?"
The non-structured format allowed for each musician to continue with the song until they felt like it was over. Sometimes Gallo would stop playing, but Eric would still be at the guitar or sampler, seeing the song through until he felt it met it's natural end.
Each musician rarely made even eye contact with the audience. Every now and then, we got a glance from Rebecca, but other than that, it was mostly Gallo on the floor, Eric with his back turned to the audience and Haas looking at Rebecca. Gallo with his reconisable stare, focused carefully at his instruments and was in full concentration so much so, he appeared modest. The abrasive personality that Gallo is so famous for having was no where to be found and the only words out of his mouth that he didn't sing were "Thank You" as RRIICCEE left the stage.
In the end, RRIICCEE's NYC performance proved to be very experimental and genuinely interesting. After the concert posters and clothing was sold, prices starting at $100. One could not help but feel that this was possibly a satire of today's concert scene and not a money making venture.
It was hard to gauge the audience's reaction during the performance, as is the nature of the venue, anyone who needs to use the bathroom has to walk in front of everyone so it provided a lot of commotion. Strangely enough it also allowed for one of the best moments of the night, when a decidedly sad instrumental was played by the band and a girl walked back from the bathroom, holding her sweater closed, looking like she just plopped out her abortion in the bathroom. It added an interesting context for the music and may have added something to the emotion rich songs that were played.
So the question is, does RRIICCEE work?
As I was herded out onto the street with the other harbingers of death for a cigarette, I caught the girl behind me humming the tune of the last song RRIICCEE played.

resuming my alcoholism
my battles with alcoholism have gone pretty well as of late. this no longer matters though. now, i must clean out my bank account and ready my liver because vincent gallo is heading up belvedere's most expensive ad campaign ever. what does this mean for us? no more water fountains anywhere. sorry. they will be replaced by belvedere fountains because fuck water if it doesn't want to be sponsered by vg. we have been bowing down for water too long. vincent gallo's new campaign will allow us to finally fight back. and get drunk in the process. i hope, with the legions of fans that read this website, we can impeach water's right to be rain and ring in a new year with belvedere as the new rain.
check back often for a copy of the commerical. i'll be feverously looking for same.

the envelope
i have an envelope.
the contents of this envelope will change my life.
i will guard this envelope like john travolta guards his sexual orientation.
i've placed the envelope in 50 different locations, each time trying to figure out the perfect place. i needed somewhere that the envelope could be safeguarded from the elements and protected from thieves (i live next to newark). i've tried everywhere. i even placed it in the closet (as this has been a trustworthy stronghold for john as well). i finally settled on- actually i can't tell you... thief.
we all have fantasies- winning the lottery, retiring young, kidnapping winona ryder and chaining her to a radiator- simple dreams for simple people.
never in my wildest dreams (mostly consisting of chaining celebs to various objects *usually radiators, rocket ships, small explosives or the front of britney's car* for various reasons *they are goodlooking or more likely, i hate them* ) did i think that i would have an evelope with a document that held so much power.
remember how happy charlie was when he got that golden ticket (you know... the part before he realized that the whole chocolate factory might as well been a giant white van with willy wonka hanging a giant herseys bar out of it)? thats how i felt when i got this envelope.
it is with great pleasure and mediocre prose that i announce the fact that VINCENT GALLO will be in nyc on december 7th. and i have a ticket. i have a ticket to see VINCENT GALLO, and the hard copy of this ticket is in my possesion. you should get tickets to see VINCENT GALLO. we can all see VINCENT GALLO- the greatest actor, director, writer, musician, dancer, republican, painter, mammal, of this or any generation.
for additional information regarding this generation defining moment, i refer you to: http://www.rriiccee.com/

the return...
i have returned to continue to write the history book that is vincent gallo's blog.
my absence should not be misconstrued as vincent gallo's fault, as he remains productive as ever. it is, in fact, my stupid fault- a mix between my own sloth and pure stupidity. i had to return because i feel the tides of the liberal media strangling america..
listen close.
do you hear that?
help.
help.
help.
that's america pleading for assistance. that is this great country crying as obama dances on ellen.
i must continue this vincent gallo blog so that we can once again regain the supremacy that america had.
i don't want my children growing up in a society where they would be exposed to wooden politicians dancing with pants-suited pseudo-comediennes.
i present to you a clip of vincent gallo.
in this clip, we view the finest actor of our generation or any generation for that matter. with only a few words, vincent goes through a range of emotions that most hollywood actors cannot emote. do you see josh harnett pulling off stuff like this? no you see him with that stupid squint in EVERY scene. although we may not be able to exterminate josh, we can sit back and enjoy our clip of the day

the revolution will be televised... on fx
for the first time since the television was invented, people will have a reason to watch f/x tonight.
f/x is still a channel you ask?
lets hope so.
if i could find out how to use the new yahoo tv guide i would be able to verify it, but unfortunately it takes the power of 100 of the worlds most powerful pc's and frankly my prodigy internet connection can't load that much info.
enough pleasantries, lets get down to business.
at ten tonight you must watch f/x.
i know it will seem like a trick at first because you will realize that dude from ready to rumble's wife has a new show and you are watching it, but wait for it.
wait for it.
vincent gallo will be on this television program.
i just gave you like 14 lines of the blog to think about what i just told you.
mr. gallo will be starring, hopefully as courtney cox's killer in this new television program.
while i never support actually watching this new show because i found out winona ryder was going to be on courtney cox's last show and i said that everyone should watch and look how popular that show got, i do support you supporting vincent gallo.

and they tell two friends and they tell two friends...
galloian influence one.
in the first installment of our galloian influence section, we will look at the influence that vincent gallo has had on the greatest rapper in music today.
after only appearing for mere seconds in jay-z's classic video "99 problems", vincent gallo has had an amazing, positive influence on the multi-platinium rapper.
99 problems http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UouMFyx65fo
jay-z, through the profound teachings of vincent gallo, is recruiting young black men for the republican party. the setbacks of the ignorant, uneducated, poorly thought out, uninformed, ill mannered, downright disrespectful words of kanye west are slowly being washed away by jay-z's positive work.
nas' new album "hip hop is dead" comes out this tuesday and features a spectacular track with jay-z, who preaches the benefits of the republican party on "black republican"
http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=6167
"black republican / money i got comin in" jay-z proclaims on the chorus. this will prove to be revolution in the black community. when jay-z started wearing button ups, the ridiculous dress looking white t-shirts were thrown out. when jay-z stabbed lance riviera, i'm sure many-a-homeboy traded in their "gat" for a sharp object. now black people will realize the benefits of the republican party via jay-z. the song is great, just fast forward through the nas parts as he mumbles some garbage about being a militant and whatnot, but bottom line you have a great chorus and verse from jay.
if the seconds of vincent gallo in the "99 problems" video can change jay this much, it further proves after this blog grows it's already staggering readership numbers, vincent gallo will arrive and remain in the forefront of world news.
be sure to support the new nas album and leave copies all around choice inner city locations so "black republican" can spread throughout the world's ghettos.

captain america... only not as bitter towards nazi's
now more than ever, the world needs this blog. by the world, i mean the united states and the inhabitable parts of canada, sorry mexico and france and other countries you're out. out of this world. and not "out of this world" in the good way where someone would be like how is sex with paris hilton and then the other guy says "out of this world". out of this world as in i've kicked you out... of the free-world. and the un-free world. obviously that example is horrible as sex is not "out of this world" with paris hilton- judging from my video review. now it just seems more diseasey. im thinking the spinning pedistal mixed up paris hiltons brain.
i degress.
vicent gallo is a hero to the entire world. vicent gallo is a man so american, he makes bruce springsteen seem ashamed of the fact his parents gave birth him him in the united states because bruce springsteen knows he cannot live up to what it's like to be a real american. vincent gallo has given us the artiest of art, the filmiest of films, the modeliest of modeling and the lifiest of life. vincent gallo's life makes me feel like i'm living lufe. i have accomplished nowhere near what vincent has. i live lufe. lufe is the socially awkward, bottle of urine collecting, cheese smelling second cousin of life.
this blog will be regularly updated with anything i can find about vicent gallo without breaking state or federal law. the offical start date for this blog is today. today is the 16th of decemeber. or its the 16th of decemeber-ish. you get the idea, from this post on the blog will start. all of vincent gallos previous achievements speak for themselves so i'm just here to speak on the future achievements. the achievements will be the present achievements when i'm writing about them though.
this is a blog about vicent gallo's future present achievements.
