Billy Bob ThorntonI had always respected the guy for overcoming early typecasting. Seriously, dude went "full retard" in his first two prominent roles then transformed himself into a total alpha badass in films like Bad Santa and School for Scoundrels and the TV version of Fargo. I also thought he was a misunderstood genius and hated Mirimax for chopping up his version of All the Pretty Horses.But man, oh man . . . his third directorial effort Jayne Mansfield's Car only made 11k at the box office. I honestly thought it was a Hallmark Movie of the Week until I saw the cast list. London Fields had one of the worst wide release openings ever and a 0% on the tomato meter and somehow Thornton thought it would be a good idea to play in the big screen adaption of that book Oprah royally trashed--A Million Little Pieces. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2nEv4uG
