Anybody seen this doc about the guy who made the Boondock Saints? I watched it and was a little disappointed. It didn't really tell you much. It gave a bit of the backstory, and showed what an ass the guy could be, but it gave no real details about how the film was made and no details on exactly how he pissed so many people off. You can see by his attitude how he might have alienated everyone, but I figure Hollywood is full of egotistical jerks. If all of them got shut out Hollywood would be a ghost town.

I would like to have seen more of what actually happened than different shots of Duffy talking about how great he is and how everyone (first) loves him and (second) is conspiring aginst him.

hmm wasn't there just another post here about how Duffy threw away a great opportunity? Perhaps he is secretly a mod and deleted it....

I personally loved Overnight for exposing that annoying hack.

They should bundle this with Boondock Saints as a reward for sitting through that piece of garbage. I enjoyed the scene at the end where you see what he is doing now, he he he.

I actually liked 'Saints'. It wasn't great, but there was good stuff. When I had first seen it I knew he was a first time director/writer (but not such a jerk), and that made it more impressive to me.
