Gumbo the movie

Simon Cowell was going on about the film Gumbo on tonight’s X Factor, featuring the Roy Orbison song Crying. It’s not Gumbo, it’s Gummo, an ace punk film featuring loads of drinking and bizarre characters.

It’s a genuinely disgusting film featuring cat mutilation and other disturbing scenes but it’s got that X Factor that used to make American indie films so great.

Simon Cowell’s never seen it. He’s a cheat. Vote funboys John and Edward, give Simon a dud.

Here’s an interesting essay on the film
