"I Just Thought They Make Great Pussies Nowadays," Says Asia Argento
This will be my last J.T. Leroy post, I swear. I feel that once The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things is released into theaters, the J.T. Leroy will finally be allowed to die a natural death and go gentle into that dark night of the film canister forgotten on a shelf. It's easier that way.
Meanwhile, Asia Argento raved, raved like she had a lightbulb or two loose in the attic! Today's Gawker reports back from the premiere, director Q&A and after-party:
Argento gave quite a performance during the Q&A following the screening. When she was asked how the revelation that Leroy was nonexistant affected the movie's impact, she began a beautiful ramble. To heavily paraphrase: "What is truth? Am I telling you the fucking truth right now? How do you know what the fucking truth is?" She then talked about her personal experience with J.T. and how she had now idea he didn't exist until everyone else found out about it. "I mean, I slept with J.T. I touched his pussy. I just thought they make great pussies these days. I don't know. I couldn't see, it was dark. He said he was on hormones, that was why the boobs were there. I just thought they make great pussies nowadays." Move along folks, nothing to see here.
