+--- Thread: To the Boondock Saints fans - the movie, not the comic strip (/showthread.php?tid=9676)
- Galt - 11-15-2004
Last week, a guy I work with signed up for Netflix and was wondering some movies he should rent. I gave him a bunch of movies, and Boondock Saints was one that he hadn't heard of.
I told him how it's on every "underrated movie" list blah blah blah. It got me wondering: what happened to that guy Troy Duffy who wrote/directed the movie? It was a good flick, you gotta figure that he must have been swimming in offers. Why hasn't he done anything since?
So fast forward to this weekend, I see a story about a documentary called "Overnight" that chronicles Troy Duffy writing the thing, getting discovered by Miramax, becoming King of LA and then turning everyone against him by being a total asshole. The review (which is weird they were reviewing it this weekend since the documentary came out in '03) really made the documentary sound hilarious. I guess the Duffy guy is totally insane and thinks everyone is out to get him.

There was a comic strip named Boondock Saints ??

I thought it was just called "Boondocks".
having seen the movie and being a fan of the comic, I can see how people easily confuse the two.

Quote:The review (which is weird they were reviewing it this weekend since the documentary came out in '03)i think it's being released in theaters this friday. at least i assume it is because i've been seeing reviews in all the papers.

There was talk of a sequel...but I think it might have gotten squashed.

I thought it was overrated but they are making a sequel

that documentary sounds awesome

wow, i really really hope that movie doesn't suck. i will be so disappointed after the first movie was so so good.

The Dafoe character took so much away from the movie.
- drusilla - 11-15-2004
yeah, that whole tranny thing really was out there. just helps to show how crazy both duffy & dafoe are.
- Hawt Baux - 11-15-2004
The tranny thing was funny, i didn't like how the opening was shot, that whole fish market scene felt forced.
- PatCooper - 11-15-2004
I just saw boondock saints a few weeks back and i was told how good it was blah, blah,blah. And Dafoe made that movie watchable. It was well written but the actors besides Dafoe seemed to just walked through it. Nothing really special.

Sean Patrick Flannery used to be on my "list", but i think he's fallen off.
