Pajiba

Holy Christ is this guy ever annoying. You're a white trash hillbilly who somehow scored a gig in Hollywood. Do you think people give a shit about you because of your sparkling personality? Get over yourself.

Your FACE has no gravy

I have no idea what this means, but it is now my official comeback to any insult.

Billy Bob Toolbag has been playing THE. SAME. CHARACTER. since 1997.

"I'm not an actor!"
Well your not much of a fucking singer either

What....The....Fuck????

I put up a link over on the Pajibalove before this thread came out. Not bragging, just adding to the proper thread. And to post a link to the the video of the interview. You can actually see the stabbiness in BBT's eyes. I listened to this this morning and was actually afraid he would come through the radio and kill us all.

To put it into musical terms he might understand (but maybe not...) I used to like him, but that's all over now.

i remember a french interview with him,it's very surrealistic,very dadaist! so officialy,Batman guy isn't more number 1 on Top 10 US a**hole!

Sling Blade was a pretty damn good movie, though.

He could have at least done the interview in his Sling Blade voice....mmm-hmm.

Only because this asshole doesn’t have to make a living with his music can he behave in such a deplorable way. I goddamn guarantee you if this piece of shit had to pay his bills with his insufferable music he’d act differently. Fuck him and his asswipe band, and by extension, fuck that big lip big head emaciated bitch he was fuckin’, the both of them with their vials of blood. And fuck her piece of shit republican daddy.

I like the part where the DJ asks him about music and he prattles on about fucking monster movies and magazines and shit like that.

And Pookie is 100% right, if this were his day job he wouldn't be acting like a fucking prick.

True story. I work for a local news station and one of our entertainment reporters managed to get an interview with good ole' Sling Blade when he was pimping whatever paycheck-grabbing shit movie he made. (I think it was for Mr. Woodcock. During the course of the interview, he actually called her "honey" and "babe" throughout, grabbed her knee and arm constantly and asked if she wanted to meet later for "drinks." Having knowledge of his philandering ways and not sure what kind of panty crickets she would walk away with, she politely declined.

Billy Bob is a dirty, ugly old man and one mean motherfucker. Someone who's been told he shits gold and farts incense for far too long.

Drinks? What's wrong with drinks? Pretty ladies deserve drinks.

I'm guessing she turned the drinks down because the right mix of cocktails and conversation is undie grease. Also, shes happily married with a doting husband and three kids. So maybe she didn't feel like pointing her soles towards heaven for a dirtball likely to leave a lasting gift of HPV, The Herpes or the aforementioned panty crickets.

Me, I prefer the soles to be pointing downward.

Maybe there's some kind of Dickface of the Year Contest he and Joaquin Phoenix are rivaling over. Evidently Billy Bob's already won.

I must say, the interviewer handled him well.

I don't know if I can bring myself to listen to this. I listen to the show every day, but I have the flu and didn't wake up to hear any of the broadcast until the Glengarry Glen Ross interview was underway. When Mio came in, they brought it up briefly, and seemed REAL shaken.

Well, I've had the good fortune to meet Jian Ghomeshi on a few occasions, and he is an absolute darling. Funny, intelligent, forthcoming, dispenses good advice--an all-around peach. I don't know if I can handle hearing some mouth-breathing troll bitch from hell rip into one of the Moxy Fruvous dudes.

I got to ask him who his worst interview was. And he stopped laughing, turned dead serious, looked me in the eye, and said very, very solemnly: 'Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford is a jerk.'

Which sounded about right to me. I guess this blow-up had to have been epic if it made news on American shores. Eek.

CBC-1 gets some live wires. Back when that Kanye West song 'Touch the Sky' came out, they did an interview with Eval Kneieval...hmm, I can't spell that, can I? His reactionary character was only trumped by his raging sexism, which was soundly thumped by an olympic-level degree of racism. There's your hero, folks. Don't you have a hole to fall into? Y'know, the one of posthumous obscurity?

As for this taint-slap: I'd say that karma wins and that God is going to cut you down, Billy. But looking at that miscarriage of an abortion of a face you're sporting, it's clear that that process is already nearly done.

So Laura Dern was going to marry that thing, huh? Bullet Dodged.

Poor poor Jian! He's one of the best interviewers the CBC has, and somehow he ends up with this whackjob. I couldn't watch more than a minute of that interview, the awkward was too much to handle. I felt bad for the other members of the band, too, who seemed genuinely embarrassed about how BBT was acting, but obviously they know who he is and how he acts, and they should've just cancelled the appearance. Nobody wants to listen to that.

Oof. I just listened to it.

Looks like someone's grabbing top spot on Yaweh's Shit List.

As if anyone wants to hear about the first naptha-snatched slag he accosted.

And how tedious was that song?

Shades of Sook-Yin Lee versus Massive Attack.

These dick-slaps think they're so great. We'll see who has the last laugh when I put them up against Kathleen Battle in the Octagon. You're scared now, huh?

oh come on. y'all are overreacting. it's not that bad. it's actually kind of funny. i was giggling through most of it.

Billy Bob was behaving like a bit of dick but Ghomeshi does a pretty good job of standing his ground and calling Billy Bob out for being a dick. by the end of it Billy Bob is kinda sheepishly answering the questions because Ghomeshi smacked him down and made him look like a pussy in front of his band buddies.

it's like he tried to pull a Joaquin Phoenix but didn't have the balls to go full retard.

Jo, what is this about "Sook-Yin Lee versus Massive Attack"? I'd love some info.

That was surreal.
What a fucking douchebag.

Although, made me love Jian even more than before.

Thanks for putting up the video Dustin. You can really see the undiluted arrogance and pretention in ol' BB's eyes. I think Jian is still out there somewhere trying to drink this one off....

Wow, I thought Russell Crowe took 10 Odd Foot of Grunts too seriously. Maybe BBT is featuring in the same actor turn musician doco as Joaquin Phoenix

Wow. What the hell did I just watch?

I give Jian a great deal of credit for not losing his shit in what must be the most bizarre 13 minutes ever.

Oh, and a big fuck you, Billy Bob.

Well, if it works for Joaquin Phoenix . . and apparently Billy Bob is a such a superlative actor he blows even Joaquin's latest weird away.

I have to admit, I won't listen or watch. I'm still to scarred from Gene Simmons being the World's Biggest Douche on Fresh Air. That was all sorts of evil, but not so much bad.

If he didn't sound exactly like my brother that would have been hilarious.
I missed the Joaquin Phoenix bit. When did that happen? Anyone got a link?

I will never watch another Billy Bob film again. I wish I was going to the show just so I could throw shit at them. FUCK YOU Billy. Jian, you are amazing.

Thanks for the info Jo. Massive Attack doesn't come off very well. It baffles me that musicians/actors/etc. don't behave when they're interviewed. After this I'm not interested in anything BBT does.

That felt awfully like a prank. Maybe he's trying to get on the Joacquin Phoenix "Look at me, I've lost my mind!!!! (It's a movie.)" bandwagon.

His "I've made eight albums" face needs punching. Tantrumy moron.

I agree with Lord Helmet, something about that was 'off' enough to make me think BBT was HIGH out of his GOURD or he's suffered some...deterioration, mentally.
I mean, it wasn't just the dickish attitude and nonsensical muttering, it was how he was looking at stuff when he wasn't being directly addressed, he looked confused and addled like an autistic kid thrown unprepared into a whole new environment, trying to take in and comprehend this overload of new information.
Seriously, does anyone know f even a RUMOR he might have some medical condition?
Cos I dont even know if drugs or being a prick can explain what I just saw.
Standing O to the DJ for handling it with aplomb and care, I'd have punched the fucking hick in the neck 'HILL BILLY HICKY, BITCH' I'd have screamed 'your FACE has no gravy!!'

Jay-sus, what's wrong some basic fucking courtesy? "I don't know?" That's the shit grumpy teenagers pull, not grown men.

He's also the hottest thing on CBC since Strombo, and it's a sin that he's confined to radio, but that's neither here nor there.

a-MEN.

Hmm. Well, all I know is Jian can pour his gravy all over me anytime.. *wink wink, nudge nudge....*

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....douchy.

Billy obviously did this stunt knowing that it would cause a stir and wind up all over the net. Think about it, if he just acted normal and gave a straight forward interview how many people would have even heard it or known about it? Very few. But he sits there and acts like a douche for 13 minutes and it's all over the internet today, it is even on CNN's website. He's a douche but he knows how to get easy and free publicity for his crappy band that nobody cares about.

At least the world will know him as a "musician" from now on. Though I doubt few will search out any of his caterwaulings.

The Queen of England has less formalities to jump through. "How dare thou speakest of what I have deigned inappropriate?! Now I will have my rarerabbit!!"

The guy NEVER asked him a non-musical question. Ol' Billy Bob is my new Lord Doosh-a-bag.

I can't believe Daniel Stuart Baker would stoop to being in a band with this cock. I think he's too embarrassed by Billy Bob's behavior to talk too much, but that guy is fucking awesome. Check out anything by Unknown Hinson, allow it to wash the taste of ball-sweat that is the essence of Herr Thornton from your mouth.

Oh Jian. I'm personally hot and cold on the guy (some of his interview subjects are bewildering.. though perhaps he's not to blame) but I totally respect and love that he kept his ground, calling him out on it.

I actually woke up to this interview (right at the monster mag/tom petty segue) on my radio alarm and was paralyzed in bed with angst while having no freaking clue who he was talking to at the time.

The video put a whole new dimension of bullshit, pointless arrogance in the constant fucking eye-rolling. Gaaaahd.

Okay, so let's say you're like 50 years old and touring with Willie Nelson. Your manager drags your ass outta bed at 4 or 5 in the morning to go talk to some dude at 6 a.m. You're also supposed to cart your instrument there. You get there, and they tell you to smoke in a designated area. You ask them not to discuss your acting career because the focus should be about the music. What contribution do your band members have to the acting conversation?

I helped interview Scott Radinski back in 1994 or thereabouts. His band, Popsickle, I believe, was opening for NOFX in Omaha. My friend, Andy, was doing the interviewing. Scott asked, "Do you want the rest of the band?" Andy said "No," and then proceeded to ask him about pitching in the major leagues (Radinski was either pitching for the White Sox or Dodgers at the time). Radinski was miffed because he was convinced that Andy was a sportswriter.

Billy Bob was an ass, but still, I have empathy for him in this situation.

Who are the Boxcutters?

I'm a Canadian living in the south and let me just say that calling Billy Bob Thornton a redneck is an insult to rednecks!
Most people in the south are very wonderful, polite people who wouldn't dream of behaving this way.
Hey BBT--when was the last time you made a decent movie? Bad News Bears..The Alamo? I rest my case.

Canada is the birthplace of musical giants such as Neil Young, The Guess Who...maybe you missed that fact Billy which is odd since you appear to fancy yourself a 'music historian' (eyesroll)

This isn't just his demeanor in his interviews, this is the way he communicates. He is defensive, and constantly combative in his personal life as well. I know, I have known him personally. He is unable to deal with anything people say to him, he suspects everyone in his immediate surroundings of ill intent; friends, lovers, relatives, you name it! In business you can only imagine how much worse he can be, but he is horrendous in daily life. He is intrusive, cruel, cowardly, accusatory, and dogmatic. He was physically abusive to all of his wives especially. "Women are all sluts " is one of his most popular things to say. Ladies he is not a tough guy it's all an act! If he were he'd be starring in action films in which he is OO7, or a similar character, but he cannoty get parts like that. Food for thought. Drugs? Many, he loses touch of reality and forgets where he is.Once I visited him at a hotel, when I commented that The tiffany Theater is just around the corner, he recanted "Ha what? Ha?" with a blank stare, as if to say "Who am I, and where am I?" It would be sad if he weren't scary and insulting to others.

WTF! I'm so tired of these condescending pricks who feel they are so artistically superior that it gives them license to be an inconsiderate asshole and still expect to have themselves kissed. You can be creative, dynamic, interesting, expressive, and intelligent without being an absolute pita a$$hole.

Jerks like Billy Bob and Joaquin Phoenix, of late, should not be indulged for wasting our valuable time. Get your $hit together and when you are ready to be respectful and do your thing then I'll consider paying for anything to do with you.

Douchebags!
