Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 09:07PM ;)
Click for Doooommmm!Okay we all owe this dude a big fucking thanks, no disrespect to Willy Rosner and David Lynam who are both legends for taking their time to do an interview with us but Omar Doom is a big fucking step up. Omar Doom is no extra and has quite possibly the coolest motherfucking name ever.
Check out Death Proof on IMDb, Omar is character number 13 playing Nate, just below Eli Roth and then next up he is playing Omar Ulmer in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. Finally this guy is also a musical genius, check the tune Teenage Shotgun out below, its fucking badass!
Fuck Off Film: Okay first off that is one bad motherfucker name, Omar Doooommmmm! Where did you get it?
Omar Doom: Its shortened from Makhdoomi. It was actually Quentin Tarantino that suggested going with DOOM a long time ago.
FOF: Quentin suggested your name, thats cool, wench suggested we go with Fuck Off Film but she is an idiot. So we heard you on the radio, we seen you on the TV, but who the fuck is Omar Doom?
OD: Just a dude playin a dude disguised as some other dude.
FOF: Well dude, we love Teenage Shotgun, its a bad ass tune, whats the deal with your music?
OD: I've always been involved in some kind of musical project. Right now I'm working on a solo project as Omar Doom. A full length Omar Doom album will come out in summer of 09. I also do electro remixes under the name Sir Graves, and I have a project with THEE MIKE B called Graveleaf.
FOF: So how to did you hook up with QT and make Death Proof?
OD: I had known Quentin for quite some time before Death Proof. He had always told me when he had something for me, he'd bring me in to read for it. Lucky for me something came up.
FOF: Pretty cool first film and role huh?
OD: Yeah, it was really fun working on Death Proof, and hangin out in Austin Texas where it was filmed. It was there where I met Eli Roth, who I'm now working with again in Inglourious Basterds. Death Proof was definitely a warm up to my role in 'Basterds.
FOF: Inglourious Basterds, how the fuck did that happen?
OD: Basically Quentin called me up about 3 weeks before shooting started and said he wanted me to come to Berlin to be a basterd. I was just like, you're not really asking much of me. I've been preparing for that role my whole life!
FOF: Thats cool, tell him if he needs a cunt I am ready. Whats the deal with the skulls? Were they a real dead persons head?
OD: The skull pic I posted up is of a piece by the artist Damien Hirst called "For the Love of God". Its a life-size platinum skull encrusted with 8,601 fine diamonds that goes for around $100m. I'm thinking of saving up so I can have that done to my skull when I die. Donations are welcome!
FOF: We are buying 2. If you had to sleep with a man for $1m would it be Brad Pitt?
OD: Yes. And thats negotiable too.
FOF: And you are recording an album in Germany?
OD: Yes, I've been doing a lot of writing for the Omar Doom album on my days off of Inglourious Basterds. Berlin is such an inspiring town to be in. There's so much going on here art and music-wise. And the nightlife is spectacular. I love never having to worry about places closing. The bars/clubs pretty much stay open till the morning, some places never closing at all. The Germans definitely know how to party. I've had an amazing time here.
FOF: German beer is good right?
OD: German beer rules. Thats another thing Germans are great at. There's apparently over 5000 brands of beer brewed in Germany. Lately I've been into the wheat beers (Hefeweizen).
FOF: Man when you get to England you need to try Special Brew. So are you the coolest motherfucker on the planet?
OD: I'd like to think so, but Quentin Tarantino has been holding that title for years.
FOF: Do you like our website?
OD: I'm new to your website, but its been fun checking it out. It definitely has a great name!
FOF: Seriously big fucking thanks dude, we seriously can't wait to see Inglorious Basterds and watch you rock that motherfucker!!!
