Ebert Steps up with Gallo's Humor [thats really a stupid headline - ed.]
"It is true that I am fat, but one day I will be thin, and he will still be the director of 'The Brown Bunny.'" That's just one of the great bons mots with which thumb-wielding movie critic Roger Ebert responds to quotes from director Vincent Gallo in the NY Post and Observer calling Ebert a "fat pig" with "the physique of a slave-trader." Not much of a Gallo fan myself, though I appaluded his casting of a barely conscious Jan-Michael Vincent in Buffalo 66, I can't wait to see his latest now.
