1.) Clearly it's a joke, and the fact that it's angered some people is hilarious.
2.) I'm half-Jewish, and for those who don't know, let me fill you in on a little secret: we do run show business, all of it, and if you have any doubts, look at the heads of every film studio and record company, let alone the agents and managers and attorneys who hold sway in Tinseltown. Marlon Barndo got into a lot of heat for once saying it on Larry King, but it's true, and Gallo is purely satirizing the system itself.
3.) I haven't seen The Brown Bunny but heard it was horrible; Buffalo 66 however is a wonderful film. It's hilarious, beautifully photographed, and quite touching. It also has some great performances by Bern Gazarra, Anjelica Huston, jan Michael Vincent, and Mickey Rourke. Also, Christina Ricci has never looked as sexy. It's also impressive considering Gallo wrote, directed, edited, played the lead, and did the score.
4.) I wouldn't call his musical career prolific, but some of the stuff he's done is interesting, and I respect him for that.
5.) Uberdesigner questioning anybody's talent is quite ironic considering he's never accomplished anything-- let alone does he have the balls to reveal his work here. By the way, uber, please fire your joke writer immediately.
6.) Gallo is neurotic, self-absorbed, and crazy--some of it is real, but a lot of it is schtick. I can understand why it annoys some people, but personally I find him amusing, much like Anton Newcombe. I also find son amusing though, so keep that in mind.
