Vincent Gallo is evidently selling the film production package he used to shoot the "outstandingly bad" movie Brown Bunny on eBay. The listing is a characteristically Gallic stream-of-consciousness screed. Current bidding stands at $86,800 for a kit that includes Stanley Kubrick's legendary Barry Lyndon lens. And what Vincent Gallo eBay listing would be complete without gratuitous third-person references to Vincent Gallo, and abundant ad hominem attacks on the likes of filmmakers Spike Jonze, Darren Aronofsky and Wes Anderson? Ambiguous cinematic sex act not included. Link (update: I'll need to start waking up a hell of a lot earlier to scoop Choire Sicha, who covered this on Gawker last Friday — that's, like, a whole lifetime in blog-years. I'm losing my edge.) Update 2: Boingboing reader and admitted "film dork" chandler says, "i just wanted to point out that the lens in the gallo kits isn't THE famous barry lyndon lens. by THE i mean the Zeiss f0.7 lens used to shoot the candlelight scenes. it's the other lens, the super long zoom lens used for some of the wonderful super-flat shots."
