You may remember that recently Cam'ron auctioned his pink range rover on eBay. Now it seems Vincent Gallo is at it too. He's selling all the camera equipment used on the already infamous (and as yet unreleased) Brown Bunny. At first you might not guess it's actually him making the sale since he refers to himself in the third person; "Gallo". However that's just his literary style. His feedback page is a treasure trove of celeb tidbits. He's been busy buying cameras, hi-fi stuff, guitars, and a bmx, and he's sold stuff too including a toolbox. He doesn't tolerate deadbeat bidders, and as you'd expect for someone with a famously sharp tongue, he has only harsh words for sellers who package his precious lots inadequately.
The item description is just pure unadultarated Gallo genius:
"Gallo wanted his 2 Aatons to be the quietest in the world so after purchase, he fedexed them back to France and had the factory make them as quiet as they could possibly ever be."
"(Gallo's) Angenieux zoom ... was purchased from the Stanley Kubrick estate. It is the famous super long throw lens that Kubrick had made for Barry Lyndon. No other like it exists."
"All in all, Gallo put more effort into this production package than the whiny Wes Anderson, the sputtering Spike Jonze, the un-darling Darren Aronofsky have put into their whole lives."
This is the kind of stuff that makes Gallo a genuine living legend. On the margins of film making acclaim himself, he is none-the-less prepared to publicly deride three of the hottest young directors out there. All hail Gallo, god of self-publicists and celebrity bitch-asses. Truly he deserves his fanatical Japanese cult following. If you're feelin "Gallo" like I am, why not bid for his rare Bohack album, which as he says himself "DJ Spoony...never DJs without..."
