On and After – A Whitey Bulger web series….
Not sure what to make of this upcoming web series…it’s certainly low-budget. Take a look and share your thoughts.I’m sure there will be more of these little spinoffs to come….let’s hope they keep things accurate and respectful of the families who lost their loved ones. …
The Whitey Bulger movie…
Everyone seems to want this movie made. Damon and Affleck are probably the only two men in Hollywood that could pull it off. Honestly I didn’t want the movie made because I felt for the families involved but it appears the one family I know affected by this is kind of on board. As stated in the Globe article I think the key will be to depict him for exactly what he is….a heartless coward. He is not the folk hero some people still say he is. They should have gave him 2 in the lid when they busted into his pad in Santa Barbara. I say donate a portion of the movie proceeds to the families as well. Maybe a nice fund to help the kids of the families go to college…it’s the least the studios could do because the families of the victims are as much a part of this story as the coward and his crew of goons.
Get em up kid!!
So I’m a huge boxing/mma fan. It’s not really a macho thing….it’s the oldest form of competition on the planet. I think both boys and girls should equally learn at a young age to take care of themselves. Now I didn’t take this stance on …
No more Southie movies!
I’m tired of hearing about Southie, the Irish gangster thing is played out. Whitey wasn’t even born there….he was born over by Saint Marks in Dorchester and I don’t even know why Dot would want credit for that. Nothing against our neighbors, many of us Irish/American folks can trace our roots back to Southie and the North End. Mine go back to the height of the famine….my family became US citizens in South Boston and my great grand father became a call man for Engine 1 at age 10. I feel like I have heard every story there is to hear. And whats up with all the “actors” over there? There’s like 4 that are legit actors yet walk into any hangout over there and every former sneaker thief and oxy dealer is reading a script for an “audition”.
So how about some Dorchester movies….Mark Wahlberg is a pretty big player in hollywood now. He did take a trip up to Lowell to do the Fighter…and I think it’s safe to say everyone loves that flic. We all know some girls like Mickey Ward’s sisters….they were hillarious. I can rattle off 10 DotRats who’s life story could produce an Oscar grade script….Mark Wahlberg being in the top 5. I guess for now we are reduced to another gay Julie Andrews parody….
