12.10.08 ARTIE LANGE ON ARONOFSKY: ‘FILM SCHOOL FAG’
Homophobic Turtle awards Lange the Purple Heart, for injuries to career sustained in the line of hating queers. Uh, make that the Red Heart.
I missed this on Howard Stern yesterday, but lovable train wreck Artie Lange was discussing how he’d auditioned for the part of a wrestling promoter in Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler:
“I had what I thought was a great audition… So I went back another time, killed again. I then did a screen test. Killed again. So my Agent says to me ‘Aronofsky really likes you, and its between you and another guy.’” … “So it goes right til the end, and my manager calls me back and tells me ‘the other guy got it’. I was like ‘Aw F-ck!’ It was really like god was f-cking with me.”
Then a friend offered a possible explanation:
“My friend says, ‘Don’t you remember Darren Aronofsky?’ I was like ‘What are you talking about?’ Apparently when I was at Mad TV back in 1996 we went out to a Hollywood party, and as my friend tells the story ‘You got completely fucked up… this is one of those times when we had to pull you out of the party.’ This kid went to film school with Darren Aronofsky. He said, ‘In this party, you claimed this guy Aronofsky,’ - and this is before Requiem for a Dream - ‘you claimed that he was looking at you wrong and you kept hitting him in the head and you punched him in the face.’ I said ‘What?’ He goes ‘Yeah, you were really abusing this guy, calling him a film school fag.’ [/Film]
It’s unclear whether the incident had anything to do with Artie not getting cast, or if it ever happened in the first place or if Artie’s friend was just trying to mess with him - Artie says he thinks it never happened. The part got cut from the final movie anyway. But see, this is why you can’t hang out with sober assholes. You go out and you get drunk and the next day you’ll be eating a greasy breakfast, feeling fine. Then they’ll show up and be all like, “Hey! Remember when you punched that cop? Remember when you went down on that tranny? Remember when you puked on that baby?” Of course I don’t, asshole, that’s why I was drinking.

ARTIE LANGE ON ARONOFSKY: ‘FILM SCHOOL FAG’
To the friend’s defense, Darren Aronofsky does look like the kind of guy that a man like Artie Lang would pick on at a party.
Banner Pic:
Pauly Dangerously is looking into the “10 years from now” mirror.
This guys is “lovable”? He looks like he’d just as soon ram that straw through both your eye sockets as have a social drink with you.
Even worse than the sober asshole who reminds you of all the shit you did last night is the half-drunk-pretending-to-be-shitfaced asshole who keeps yelling out “it’s cool, I’m not gonna remember in the morning anyway!” He says this in hopes that somebody is going to call him the next day and feed his ego by remembering the shit he did the previous night.
Artie Lange once got chlamydia from a turtle.
Darren Aronofsky looks like the kind of guy who puts a shitty indie rock band on the stereo and hits on your girlfriend with promises that someday he’ll make her the subject of one of his movies.
Artie Lang’s heart is actually a delicious cheese steak.
Meanwhile, Artie Lang looks like the kind of guy who will smash a lamp against a wall and hit on your girlfriend with lines like “Heyyy baby, you got tits ain’t been in my mouf yet. Wassupwitdat?!”
In Artie’s defense, it wasn’t Aronofsky looking at him that enraged him. It was that Aronofsky wasn’t a bottle of Tequila. I fell your pain, brotha.
I saw Beer League, and the only way Artie Lange “killed” anything related to acting is if he accidentally sat on a key grip.
I think he was mad Aronofsky didn’t have any actual pie for him.
Artie Lange was never a plumber but he will rail lines of coke of the top of a toilet.
HAHA! PUrple!
errr Pi. You know what I mean stop looking at me like that.
He looks more like a rastler than a wrestler.
Regardless if he said it or not, that’s not a very mature way to behave or a nice thing to call someone.
Bill Murray would never show up at a party and say mean things like that.
Aronofsky should have known better than to get lippy when Lange asked him if he was that kid from Big.
Oh Burnsy, you just tickle me purple.
When Artie Lange goes down on a girl he makes sure to have some breadcrumbs in his beard. He doesn’t need them to find his way back; they’re for just in case he gets hungry next time.
Bursy, did you fall and land on your head recently?
And Erswi, are you gonna check your GD FB mail or not?
Someone has replaced Burnsy with Foldger’s Crystals…
“Bursy” = hybrid of Burnsy and Busey. Unintentional yet funny just the same.
Oh man, I’ve been spending way too much time “over there”.
This isn’t about me, friends. This is about movies.
I don’t see the big deal. I get drunk and call Chodin a “Film Drunk Fag”.
