<p> After <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0117666/">Sling Blade</a>, Billy Bob Thornton wrote, directed, and starred in a second movie, <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0166158/">Daddy and Them</a>.</p> <p> The cast is improbable–Billy Bob, Laura Dern, Brenda Blethyn, Ben Affleck, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jim Varney, Andy <em>Fucking</em> Griffith–and the family they portray is both grotesque and hilarious.</p> <p> I&#39;m amazed that I can&#39;t find any information about why this movie, filmed in &#39;98 or &#39;99, was released direct to cable in 2001 and then didn&#39;t make it to DVD until late last year.</p>
