But as the album proves, Wet Leg are not exactly soft-spoken when it comes to dissecting male lameness. As Teasdale tells an admirer, “You say you think about me in the midnight hour/I know that you’re just rubbing one out up in the shower.”

Shortly after leaving Layla at the motel, Billy finds Scott Wood, now the owner of a topless bar. At Wood's own bar, he walks over to Wood's table and shoots him in the head, before shooting himself. His parents are then shown sitting by his grave with his mother showing more interest in a Buffalo game on the radio than in her own son's death. However, this is all shown to be inside of Billy's mind. Billy leaves the bar without killing Wood, realizing that in Layla he's finally found a person who truly loves him. After making amends with his friend Goon ( Kevin Corrigan) on a payphone, the film ends with Billy elatedly buying Layla her hot chocolate and a heart-shaped cookie, and buying another for a man sitting nearby who tells him he has a girlfriend, before returning to Layla at the motel. The film has since gained a cult following, [19] especially in Japan. [20] Awards and nominations [ edit ] YearBritish band Wet Leg mention the film in their 2021 song "Wet Dream", in which a character propositions the singer with "Baby do you want to come home with me; I've got Buffalo '66 on DVD". [21] That makes Buffalo ’66 a great reference point in ‘Wet Dream’ when this hapless central character thinks he’s good enough to be thinking about singer Rhian Teasdale while he’s… practising self-service. Actually, euphemisms about masturbation are even grosser than just saying masturbation, so let’s not go down that route. In any case, this is an idiot who has got quite a bit of nerve.

But it’s in ‘Wet Dream’, the band’s second single, where a strange reference gets busted out: “You said: ‘Baby do you want to come home with me / I got Buffalo ’66 on DVD.'” Not the most foolproof move of the modern-day, it’s a strange point reference for an appropriately surreal and… let’s call it an intimate song.Capone Takes A Shot In The Mouth From THE BROWN BUNNY'S Vincent Gallo!! - Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news".

He was mean and self centered yet somehow Layla warms to this and I couldnt understand why? However, not enough is known or ever learnt about Layla and had we known this it may had been easier to understand her train of thought? Maybe thats the point, in that process of love is not rational and we are destined to fall for the first mentalist that kidnaps us and takes us against our will? In the films defence, towards the end the film does take a turn for the better and you do end up caring a little more for the both of them but not enough to rescue it from its muddled beginnings. Peretti, Jacques (13 November 2003). " 'You are a bad man trying to do bad things to Vincent' ". The Guardian. Buffalo '66 is a 1998 American crime comedy-drama film written and directed by Vincent Gallo, starring Gallo, Christina Ricci, Ben Gazzara and Anjelica Huston. The plot revolves around Billy Brown (Gallo), a man who kidnaps a young tap dancer named Layla (Ricci) and forces her to pretend to be his wife to impress his parents (Gazzara and Huston) after he gets released from prison. The title refers to the Buffalo Bills American football team, who had not won a championship since the 1965 American Football League Championship Game (which was actually played on December 26, 1965). The plot involves indirect references to the Bills' narrow loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXV, which was decided by a missed field goal.
