 In particular, Roger Ebert (qv) called the film "the worst in the  history of Cannes" to which Vincent Gallo (qv) responded that  Ebert was a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader". Ebert  paraphrased a remark of Winston Churchill (I) (qv) and responded  that "although I am fat, one day I will be thin, but Mr. Gallo will  still have been the director of Brown Bunny". Gallo then put a  "hex" on Eberts colon, to which Ebert responded that "even my  colonoscopy was more entertaining than his film".
