Anjelica Huston nailed her part FWIW.

I think its a terrific movie.  Kind of paints Buffalo in a bit of a negative light, but it is deserved

No Buffalo "homage" can possibly be better than the end of Christopher Guest's "A Mighty Wind".  A former big time star folk singer is at the end of her career, and has broken up with her famous male partner.

 

There's a scene designed to show "how low can you go?" and they show her performing an advertising jingle at an adult incontinence product trade show in.....BUFFALO, NY.

 

She's singing with a guitar:  "No need to leave them cold and damp......SURE FLOW, SURE FLOW."

 

And then they cut away.  Pure Chris Guest comic brilliance....and you know they kicked around ideas of where it was supposed to happen in the writing room....someone probably said "Flint, MI!" and then someone said "Little Rock, AK!' and then someone said, "No, Toledo, Ohio!" and then someone said, "I've got it, I've got it!  Buffalo, NY!'" and they all laughed and said "THAT'S IT!"

Onanistas 

I doubt there are more than a handful of readers here who get the reference. 

I have a book of Mark Twain essays, and one of them was from a speech he gave in Paris in 1879 titled, ‘Some Thoughts on the Science of Onanism’. 
 

The guy was whacked!

Roger Ebert called the Brown Bunny" the worst movie in the history of Cannes".  Gallo responded by calling Ebert a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader".

Wow.
