Playlist: Stranded

It's a fools quest to see all the films of an actor. A director, at least if they made 3 films, must have some standing and their films make it to the theater or at least DVD. But actors really are a dime a dozen...and they make any film for money...so they can make a lot of films in a year. My quest is to see every Vincent Gallo film. I used to try and see every DeNiro film..or at least every Pacino film..that was very difficult and I failed at it...so now there is Gallo. He has been in a lot of foreign films and independent films, so this makes it very difficult to track these films down. Many of the films are also bad. So I give you "Stranded".

Six astronauts go to Mars...they crash and must figure out how to survive or die trying. Gallo happens to be the most important astronaut, so he is the one that gets to be on board the ship last with co-star Maria deMederios , who also was Bruce Willis' girlfriend in Pulp Fiction. Gallo has a scene where they all are gonna die and so they have a montage of how the astronauts are dealing with their demise..Gallo of course comes out of a bathroom and zips his fly while putting the porn magazine away...once he is alone with his co-star his only response is basically to ask to have sex with her during their last 12 hours to live.

Pure Gallo touches are throughout..This film also stars friend of Gallo..Joey Ramone of the Ramones...he plays an astronaut who is the stranded folks' eye in the sky...So would you have an astronaut with a thick Queens accent watching your ass?

The end is dismal...ok...so 3 survive..Gallo and 2 women...help is 2 years away..and they find air and food on Mars...not necessarily Total Recall-style...more like..."Oh...Mars has air..but just in this spot"

O-God
