Anyone watching this? He's issuing death threats. Surely that's a good enough pretext to kill the little fuck.

Somebody want to fill me in on what he said?
(And Bufallo 66 was good, I mean you almost got to see Christina Ricci's boobies in this one scene.)

I issue death threats all the time.

You believe what he said? Amongst other things that he neglected to mention inhis interview was the reasoning behind his "being a republican"- mostly that he doesn't like making people out to be victims. That this demeans them.

All he's doing is parodying himself, if he even wrote the interview himself. It would be quite easy to just cull bits from other interviews and put them in, out of context. Why isn't this in Television, so that we can talk about the actual craft of the show?

Gallo's undoubtedly a cunt, but at least his interviews are more enjoyable than most of the meaningless tripe that actor's speak.

I don't suppose anyone taped this? It's been a good series I think, but I managed to miss this one.

I don't know much about Gallo, but really rate Buffalo 66, his performance in Arizona Dream, and that fact that he seems to be totally uninterested in casting himself in a good light. As far as I can tell, I agree with _pin - the high ego stuff is performance.
For example, I trust that this self-interview is well known:

Vincent Gallo wanted to meet at his favorite lunch spot, Petrossian, to do the interview. Funny, it's my favorite lunch spot, too. We got there at exactly the same time. I watched him walking in and it was like they say, you know, he kind of glowed. Like a ray of light was around him. A kind of Jesus. He was wearing a light pink leather suit that had airbrushed flames all over, and engraved into the leather were flowers, hearts and bunnies. He made it himself. God, he does it all. He also made his patent leather hat which was frayed into the shape of Warren Beatty's hair in the movie Shampoo. And a pair of transparent Adidas that Mr. Adidas made for him in 1981. He was wearing solid gold socks underneath.
