Buffalo 66

 

It is an indie classic I always wanted to watch directed and starring Vince Gallo. Of course, it is Christina Ricci who made the movie plausible. Yes, the script wasn't nearly as cool as I had hoped. But Vince did write it. Perhaps it was a learning experience. Yet he had such an exceptional cast for this film of a guy just getting out of prison and trying to keep it a secret from his parents. 

And I did enjoy this New York State of mind of this film (upstate New York that is) Oh, I wouldn't advise any girl to fall in love with someone who kidnaps her. But this was made in 1998. If you get a chance watch this indie classic. 


I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings. And I did it out of spite.-Vincent Gallo

My all-time favorite movie of Ricci'a, PUMPKIN with Hank Harris. He made her character Human.



on the funny side...I always thought she made Buffalo 66 film with Joaquin Phoenix. I had seen the stills and had an entirely different movie in my head that was nothing as simple as this film. Wow, if only they'd made the movie I had in mind about a guy who finds a girl while out on his motorcycle journey and how she changed his life (I don't think that's Brown Bunny). Too bad that movie never got made. -Ellie

    1. I wou;ldn't beat yourself up over the writer's group. I don't think I would either. But I'm a seat of your pants/ winging it type of writer, so that advice and presentations would just make me roll eyes. And I like online tpye feedback!

      That's cool abut the book! And I hope the rest of your week goes better. I'm surprised about the doctor?

    1. I was mistaken too. That's Vincent Gallo. Joaquin is with Anna Paxton in Buffalo Soldiers. I have a feeling I wouldn't like that film..but I might be wrong. Joaquin's best film ever was Clay Pigeons IMO.

    2. Adrienne Shelly's The Unbelievable Truth (1989) is much much better. I love the Jersey dialogue and that infamous fight scene where no one gets punched in the face is priceless.
