This always cracked me up and made me respect Ebert a little more:
Starting what would become an official celebrity feud, Roger Ebert didn't make any friends when he published his review of the 2003 independent film "The Brown Bunny." After seeing the film do poorly at the Cannes Film Festival, Ebert went as far as to call the flick "the worst film in the history of Cannes."
While many agreed with the verdict, writer, director, producer and star Vincent Gallo had choice words right back. Gallo fired back by calling Ebert "a fat pig with the physique of a slave trader." The war of words continued with Ebert stating, "one day I will be thin and Vincent Gallo will always be the director of "The Brown Bunny."
Rather than letting it go, Gallo went on to add claim he'd put a curse on Ebert's colon. As strange as the comeback was, Gallo later regretted the move after learning that Ebert was diagnosed with cancer.
