Anybody planning on seeing this one?
I hear PJ Harvey's boyfriend Vincent Gallo is pretty well hung...
-
Isn't there a scene in the movie where Chloe Sevinghy (sp?) actually gives him head?
-

I read that in Harp magazine.
She said there are four people she sends her unfinished songs to to get their opinions. One is Gallo, who they hinted strongly at being her boyfriend. The others were Flood, some guy named Parish, and the guy from Captain Beefheart, who she apparently has never actually met.

That would be Morris Tepper...who opened for her when she toured in 2001.

You would be wrong.
Born Don Vliet, Captain Beefheart was one of modern music's true innovators. The owner of a remarkable four-and-one-half octave vocal range, he employed idiosyncratic rhythms, absurdist lyrics and an unholy alliance of free jazz, Delta blues, latter-day classical music and rock & roll to create a singular body of work virtually unrivalled in its daring and fluid creativity. While he never came even remotely close to mainstream success, Beefheart's impact was incalculable, and his fingerprints were all over punk, new wave and post-rock.
Don Vliet was born January 15, 1941 in Glendale, California (he changed his name to Van Vliet in the early '60s). At the age of four, his artwork brought him to the attention of Portuguese sculptor Augustinio Rodriguez, and Vliet was declared a child prodigy. In 1954, he was offered a scholarship to study in Europe; his parents declined the proposal, however, and the family instead moved to the Mojave Desert, where the teen was befriended by a young Frank Zappa. In time Vliet taught himself saxophone and harmonica, and joined a pair of local R&B groups, the Omens and the Blackouts.
After a semester at college, he and Zappa moved to Cucamonga, California, where they planned to shoot a film, Captain Beefheart Meets the Grunt People. As the project remained in limbo, Zappa finally moved to Los Angeles, where he founded the Mothers of Invention; Van Vliet later returned to the Mojave area, adopted the Beefheart name and formed the first line-up of his backing group the Magic Band with guitarists Alex St. Clair and Doug Moon, bassist Jerry Handley and drummer Paul Blakely in 1964.
In their original incarnation, the Magic Band was a blues-rock outfit which became staples of the teen-dance circuit; they quickly signed to A&M Records, where the success of the single "Diddy Wah Diddy" earned them the opportunity to record a full-length album. Comprised of Van Vliet compositions like "Frying Pan," "Electricity" and "Zig Zag Wanderer," label president Jerry Moss rejected the completed record as "too negative," and a crushed Beefheart went into seclusion. After replacing Moon and Blakely with guitarist Antennae Jimmy Semens (born Jeff Cotton) and drummer John "Drumbo" French, the group (fleshed out by guitarist Ry Cooder) recut the songs in 1967 as Safe as Milk.
After producer Bob Krasnow radically remixed 1968's hallucinatory Strictly Personal without Beefheart's approval, he again retired. At the same time, however, Zappa formed his own , Straight Records, and he soon approached Van Vliet with the promise of complete creative control; a deal was struck and after writing 28 songs in a nine-hour frenzy, Beefheart formed the definitive line-up of the Magic Band â?? made up of Semens, Drumbo, guitarist Zoot Horn Rollo (born Bill Harkleroad), bassist Rockette Morton (Mark Boston) and bass clarinetist the Mascara Snake (Victor Fleming) â?? to record the seminal 1969 double album Trout Mask Replica.
Following 1970's similarly outre Lick My Decals Off, Baby, Beefheart adopted an almost commercial sound for the 1972 releases The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot. Shortly thereafter, the Magic Band broke off to form Mallard, and Beefheart was dropped by his label, Reprise. After a two-year layoff, he released a pair of pop-blues albums, Unconditionally Guaranteed and Bluejeans and Moonbeams, with a new, short-lived Magic Band; following another fallow period, 1978's Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) marked a return to the eccentricities of his finest work.
After 1982's Ice Cream for Crow, Van Vliet again retired from music, this time for good; he returned to the desert, took up residence in a trailer and focused on painting. In 1985, he mounted the first major exhibit of his work, done in an abstract, primitive style reminiscent of Francis Bacon. Like his music, his art won wide acclaim, and some of his paintings sold for as much as $25,000. In the 1990s Van Vliet dropped completely from sight when he fell prey to multiple sclerosis; however, releases like 1999's five-disc Grow Fins box set and the two-disc anthology The Dust Blows Forward maintained his prominence.

Morris Tepper was a member of the CB band.

That is true. The connection is probably how he got the gig opening for PJ...no?

Isn't "good Republicans" an oxymoron? ;)

When she was dating Albini, my mom (who lived across the street from him) got to meet Polly. She was in town doing a show at the Vic Theater. She got me an autograph, which I just think is the coolest. My mom rocks!

Both Harvey and Gallo deny they've been anything but friends.
-
That's funny, I've been discussing this with friends all week, but just saw this thread. I'm so going to see it. It'll be opening at Visions tomorrow.

I saw the Brown Bunny early last month and Vincent Gallo was there to talk about the film. So, despite all the hoopla over the Cannes reaction and the infamous last 10 minutes I really enjoyed the film. Yeah, the last scene is quite graphic but it makes the whole rest of the non-narrative film make sense. A man dealing with intense lonlieness after the loss of a true love. Vincent Gallo was hillarious. I guess he just rented a car, put the movie in a trunk, and was stopping in cities as he drove across the country to show the film. He didn't have any clothes with him so the host of the evening dropped him off on Colfax in Denver to go to a thrift store, gave him directions to the theater, and he said he would be back after the film. He talked for two hours afterwards about everything from the curse he put on Roger Ebert's prostate, the first time he met Chloe Sevigny when she was only 16, making out with his girlfriend in some theater in Manhatten when he turned and saw this beautiful creature on the screen(Christina Ricci in Adams Family 2), and Christina Ricci getting drunk and peeing in the middle of resteraunt during the filming of Buffalo '66. I guess Jennifer Jason Leigh agreed to do the film and everything in it, and he actually met with Demi Moore to do it as well. He really used silence for dramatic effect in the film so that when a song was used it was that much more effective. Milk and Honey by Jackson C. Frank was just gorgeous. I think even Nick Drake covered that song. Here is the trailer featuring the song: http://www.galloappreciation.com/brownbunny/BrownBunny.wmv (http://www.galloappreciation.com/brownbunny/BrownBunny.wmv)

My thoughts exactly.
A friend of mine lives next door to her. I'll have to ask him to do a little neighborly Neighborhood Block Watching for me. :D ;) Or would that be bloke watching? :p
-
Any guesses whether this film will show for more than a week?
-
We saw this movie yesterday.
Chloe Sevigny really sucked in this movie.
-
So, has anyone else seen it yet?
I thought it had its merits...

she sucks as an actress, yes she's celebrated as this muse. you see her all over the fashion magazines as a fashionista too. i think she's ugly and she dresses badly.

Nor at home, apparently.

We've already had that discussion...I'm looking for *other* opinions...I guess I'm curious to know how other people who've seen the movie interpret it.
