-Yeah. -I loved it.
-
I had so much fun doing this film.
-
It didn't really work, it didn't open.
-
And I knew it wasn't gonna work when this happened.
-
I went to my hometown.
-
When it came out, I said, "You know what I'm gonna do?
-
I'm gonna go to the movie theater that I grew up in,
-
and I'm gonna go in and thank the audience
-
and pay for all their tickets
-
and buy all of their drinks and popcorn,
-
and say, "Without you, I wouldn't be who I am,
-
so I just want to thank you, my hometown."
-
And so I went to the theater. It's now a tri-plex.
-
They have three movies. -Oh, wow.
-
-I went there, and they weren't playing my movie.
-
-They were not playing your movie?

Wow! I know. I go, "Wow!"

and you're not gonna play it?
-
-Go up there talking, they're like, "Down in front!"

-Yeah. Now, I -- yeah.
-
Yeah, I don't get no respect.
-
But, you know, that's where --
-
