David Bowie is My New Favorite Andy Warhol

I mean, I knew he was good in Labyrinth, but David Bowie has really outdone himself this time. Last night I watched Basquiat, and I must say, that D.B. really stole the show as Andy Warhol. The movie featured a lot of interesting actors, including Vincent Gallo as some random dude at a restaurant, Courtney Love as a very unlikeable and gross blonde floozy (weird, I know), Willem Dafoe as an electrician, Christopher Walken as an annoying reporter who talks like Christopher Walken, and Dennis Hopper as a guy with an accent, but David Bowie was awesome as Andy Warhol. Sure, he was a little bit too tall, but everything else was perfect. His effortless weirdness, the tone of his voice, the way that he tilted his head, the awkward white sneakers, it was really great. Every time he talked I just kind of chuckled.

This is really bad, but throughout the whole movie, I kept thinking to myself "Is that the painting that Lars from Metallica had?" Truth be told, the only reason I even know who Basquiat is is because the guys from Raccoo-oo-oon (they're like all artists and stuff) pointed it out when we were watching Some Kind of Monster, adding that he was most undeserving of such a piece of art. Well, later in the movie he sells it at Christie's for 5 million dollars. Lars is such a tool. He will never be even close to being as cool as David Bowie. I mean, I knew D. B. was a great musician, but let's add this to the list: He did a great Andy Warhol.
