jag tycker MeZcalito förklaring duger, den där enkla formen av film utan handling, "raka rör" eller "pang på rödbetan" bara!
Jag tror vi kan tacka Rocco för gonzo-uttrycket, men kanske minns jag fel?
den mer påkostade och softare vivid-porren går numera på engelska under "feature"
Gonzo
Gonzo is an adjective meaning bizarre, crazy, or far-fetched. It was first used to describe a type of journalism practiced by Hunter S. Thompson, which is characterized by subjectivity, exaggerated rhetoric, and deliberate distortion of the facts--emphasizing mood at the expense of objectivity and accuracy.
The term was first used in print by Thompson in 1971, but he later (in Pollack's Stop Presses) claimed the term was coined by one of his editors:
Gonzo all started with Bill Cardosa,..after I wrote the Kentucky Derby piece for Scanlan's..the first time I realized you could write different. And..I got this note from Cardosa saying, "That was pure Gonzo journalism!"...Some Boston word for weird, bizarre.
There is no evidence to support Thompson's claim that it was a Boston regionalism. It may be based on either the Italian gonzo or fool on the Spanish ganso, goose or fool.
