When meeting with Jim we got
the inclination that he really didn’t want to be bothered.
As
we asked started to talk to Jim the first thing he said was “ Listen
I’m not into this interviewing bullshit. I really don’t want to waste
my time on this. So what do you want to hear from me?”
We told Jim about some of
the questions we were planning on asking but it seemed like he really
wasn’t interest. He made a statement and left. This was he said word for
word.
“Instead of asking me a
bunch of questions let me just lay it on the line. I’ve known Rich my
entire life and I consider him my best friend. I firmly believe the film
ended up being made because of a conversation that Rich and I had one
night. When Rich left the hospital after his daughters operation I was on
the phone with him. I asked him what he was going to do. I knew that for
the last two years he was writing a script about events that we personally
were involved in. So I told him to give it a shot make your movie you got
nothing to lose. It’s now or never. That’s when he sprung on if I do
it, you got to be in it. I told him to go fuck himself and the next thing
I know I’m on a set with this idiot. And on top of that now he’s
bossing me around. After all is said and done this piece of shit won’t
send me a copy of the film. He wants me to wait until the premier and if
it weren’t for me convincing him to actual do the film he would have
never done it in the first place. Go figure. Other than that I think we
made a film in which you will never know what’s going to happen from to
scene to another. The chemistry between all of us is so real that it felt like we were making a documentary.
Rich was trying to make it look as authentic as possible without it
looking like some wanna be gangster film. I’m telling you right now
besides the aggravation and all the hours I put in and him swearing at me
on a set, missing my family doings, I missed a distant
cousins wake and a dear friend winning a state boxing title. Not to mention
being late for my cousins wedding that I was standing up for because of
rescheduling a bullshit shoot. If this kid makes any money out of this,
and I don’t see any of it, when I see him at the premiere I’m going to
hit him right in his face with a Louisville Slugger. "
