This movie is being rated as one of the worst movies ever made and seems to finally be hitting U.S. markets.
I can't wait.

After film critic Roger Ebert lambasted Brown Bunny at last year's Cannes Film Festival as the worst entrant ever, director Vincent Gallo called him a "fat pig" with the "physique of a slave trader" and put a curse on his colon.
Ebert, who has struggled with cancer, responded that images of his colonoscopy were more interesting than Brown Bunny.
"I'm certainly not gloating," Gallo told Knight-Ridder news service last August. "I don't believe in black magic, and I don't really believe I could have given him cancer for real. If I had any metaphysical powers, I would heal the sick. I did think it was bizarre that I said it and it happened, but I'm not happy he has cancer."
Ebert, who has twice undergone surgery for cancer, is said to be in good health. He stands by his assessment of Brown Bunny. "I have not seen every film in the history of the festival," he says, "yet I feel my judgment will stand."
Say what you will about Ebert, he knows how to rip a bad movie.
