I got drunk and had an argument with Alex Billington

Slashfilm caught it all on video.

I could probably come across as a little more classy next time.

Awesome. AWESOME.

I'm watching it now, and holy shit...this is fucking glorious and kinda sad all at the same time. Either way, it is highly entertaining.

Well, we many get a few hits I guess.

I don't think classy Devin would have been this entertaining. VOTY.

Ya think? ("You're a retarded dicksucker!")

I guess the best things you can say about your performance is that you will man up and say stuff right to someone's face and that you were more than willing to have a clip that makes you look bad out there for all to see.

Entertaining, sure. But Devin comes off like a drunken douche.
post #8 of 217
After this I don't think there is a classy Devin.

Why does Devin hate faggots?
post #11 of 217
How did that not go to fisticuffs?

I agree with what chavez said in his first post but if someone said that they wished cancer on me i would have just kicked-off.

Devin might not have been classy, but he was witty. It was nice to see that his board persona is not a persona at all, but is the real him. Overall it was awesome watching him unload.

Nah, his rips on Billington were just low-rent - if you watch to the very end, he closes strong as hell, though. All the more impressive for being near or over the double-digit mark in vodka tonics.

Best film to come out of Sundance?
post #15 of 217
Don't get me wrong. You took it way too damn far.
post #16 of 217
How did you not get punched in the mouth? I'm not a fighter, but I would have hit you in the face.

The end was great.

But there were a couple of times during the first half where I actually put my hand to my mouth and said, "oh my god".

Also, I love how the topic briefly segues to girls, because we can't have an internet fight/man-up without bringing them up...
post #19 of 217
On the other hand this guy was a total pussy.

If somebody is willing to say shit like this to you at a crowded convention hall then that person is going to get a broken nose.
post #20 of 217
Greatness.

The cancer bit was gold.

The article was passed around in the circles of online movie journalists.
That's a retarded sentence.

Sorry, wtf is "Bob Stencil Faggotry"?

Aaaaand girlfriends brought up at the 3.5 minute mark. This is a scream.

Strong close; you made your best points at the end. His questions and rebuttals made no sense, but yeah, had you dialed back on the name calling it'd be harder to dismiss any of the charges you leveled.
post #22 of 217
God, that was fucking funny.
post #23 of 217
I love that Billington is unable to understand why Devin loathes him.

The monologue at the end was fantastic.
post #24 of 217
Billington was a pussy because he has no defensible argument to get pissed off over. Or drunk Devin really wanted to get Billington booted from Sundance.

This sums up my entire problem as an editorialist, I think.

Ah, okay. I though he said Bob Stinson. I didn't know how The Replacements factored into all this.

He was a pussy for not only that but for just standing there and taking all that shit Devin was saying.
post #28 of 217
The end was pretty well-put.
post #29 of 217
"how much dicks did he suck to you"
post #30 of 217
"I saw Girlfriend Experience, I know how that works."

I laughed pretty hard.

Well, if it had escalated into a fight, imagine how embarrassing it would've been if Devin kicked his ass.
post #32 of 217
Did anyone else get a little Matt Hooper-vs. The Mayor of Amity vibe in Devin's call to arms at the end?

Yes, I knew Dreyfus didn't just punch Devin.
post #34 of 217
Lenscrafters must be pissed this remained verbal.
post #35 of 217
This whole thing is like Evan Dorkin jerked it into existence.

EDIT:

Two minutes from the ending and I'm hoping for a slap fight.


DOUBLE EDIT:

"rapes turtles"
post #36 of 217
Billington actually had nothing to go with but the "How much money you make!? dodge. Pfft, weak.

As for those closing thoughts, GO DEVIN GO!! On a scale of 1 to 10, how drunk were you? Because you come off a really lucid drunk. But that's based on absolutely NO experience with intoxication on my part.
post #37 of 217
You have to respect someone who will say something to your face. Alex shouldn't have stepped up if he wasn't prepared to defend himself. I relate to Devin a great deal in regards to what he has done on tape. Maybe that is a negative thing for Devin and he might rethink some of his positions when he takes that into consideration. At least Devin has an excuse for his behavior. I don't drink and I'll still wish rape and cancer on people to their face.

Also Devin looks a little like my Dad.
post #38 of 217
Devin doesn't like the guy, and thinks he is bringing down his profession. He should take the fucker to task.

Devin, no need to beat yourself up.
post #39 of 217
That was very funny.

If you ever run into Ben Lyons, I hope there's a video camera somewhere within the vicinity.
post #40 of 217
I want more drunk Devin videos. I don't care what he talks about.
post #41 of 217
Great finish. Surprised how eloquent your closing remarks were while being heavily intoxicated.. 8 drinks later I would have been all "yuhhhr a fushkin dick suhhker, shit ryyyter PUNK yknowwwwhadimean?"

Oh, to have been there.
post #42 of 217
"I love you all" - Heh. HEHEHEHEHEHE....

This isn't exactly true. A few key elements are necessary: an open bar and Alex Billington.
post #44 of 217
Shit that's mean. The one-sidedness of it makes it tough to watch because no matter how right Devin is it's not pretty seeing a defenseless man be so utterly destroyed. And fuck it, Devin brought out the beast and it was ugly but if Alex was smarter and had some balls he'd have done it when Devin was more sober. I mean, it's stupid to poke the bear, but even more stupid to poke the bear when the bear is off his chain.
post #45 of 217
Defenseless man?
post #46 of 217
The only argument for Billington being "defenseless" would be that he lacks the mental capacity to enter a debate with Devin.
post #47 of 217
Billington was as toasted if not more so than Devin.

Boy did I miss out by not going to Sundance (Not that I was invited or can afford to go):

-Freezing cold
-Crowded parties with shitty music
-Drunken berserk Fanboys clashing with movie critics (You decide which is which)

But I agree with what Devin says at the end of the video.
And I think Billington was too drunk and tongue tied to put up an effective defense

EDITED TO ASK: Where there any decent movies this year?
post #48 of 217
"Defenseless" as in "that guy has no defense for his lowering the bar"? Because I would agree with that.

And are you much grayer on top than the last time we saw video?
post #49 of 217
How much would you charge to follow me around and write zingers?
post #50 of 217
A douche would indicated that you've been near a vagina..ha

sad but funny all at the same time..ha
