March 20."Buffalo 66" begins as Billy (played by the writer-director Vincent Gallo) is released from prison and needs to pee. I think that sets the tone for the whole movie. It's weird and great. There are so many scenes worth repeating and re-watching.
The quirky movie follows Billy as he kidnaps a woman (Christina Ricci) to pose as his wife for his parents. It makes no sense why she goes along with him and I expected to learn more about her, but why ruin a good thing.
I don't know which character I liked best. Billy is crazy. The photo booth scene proves that. Ricci has an awesome tap dance scene in a bowling alley. Billy's parents are obsessed with the Buffalo Bills. His mother is still mad at her son for making her go into labor and miss the 1966 Super Bowl. And his father is kinda creepy and has another great scene where he sings to Ricci.
It's too bad Gallo hasn't made more movies, but there are a few I will have to see.
