Johnny Depp did a good job of playing James "whitey" Bulger


Hello everyone, I was locked up in FCC Coleman USP-2, unit K-2 Cell 205. " Jim " I call him; You know him as James " whitey " Bulger , he is in Cell 232. from about January 2015 till I was release on Feb 22 2016, Jim and I talked about guns ( we are proud gun nuts and both former gun runners ), watched wild life nature and gangster flix every day. We watched " Goodfellas " (but not long cause he hates Henry Hill!) Casino, Blow, Donnie Brasco and our favourite Gangster movie... Public Enemies. John Dillinger was Jims hero growing up in the 30s. He likes Johnny Depp gangster flix just like me but did not want to meet Johnny Depp for the making of " Black Mass " because there are a lot of Hollywood changes to what really happened and did not want to endourse the film. We are both Ex-Military U.S. Air Force aircraft Engine Mechanics, that's how we first hit it off. Jim worked on Wright R-3350 duplex-cyclones on Boeing B-29 Bombers back in the 50s, Me on F-108/CFM-56-2 jet engines on KC-135R aerial refuelling tankers in the late 90s, then moved on to GE F-110 and P&W F-100s on F-16, F-15 fighter jets. He was a wild guy back then, me in my day, so we both would get in trouble. We would say " the old guy got to pay for what the young guy did ". He is Very intelligent and knowlegable on war/military history. He is more like a retired high school history teacher, but can change to Irish mob boss real quick.. He is very regretfull of the gangster life he lived and the loss of human life that goes with it. I am writing a book and trying to make a movie of my gun-running days and will include the year we got to know each other very well.

I am a real Ex-gun runner looking for a agent, publisher, producer

Good day everyone, This is not a scam or a joke. I am a Ex-military vet that turned into a gun runner smuggling and maybe trafficking guns from Florida to the carribean. I got too friendly and invited a costumer into my operation that turned out to be the dumbest guy on the Island. In short, we got caught, the clowns all ratted on me and I was sentenced to(6)years in federal prison which I completed in Coleman FCC USP-2 Fed Pen, Coleman, FL 33521, unit K2, cell 205. I meet Russian and Italian Mobsters Like "Steve Vento" and became good friends with former Boston Irish Gangster Mob Boss: James " Whitey " Bulger !! He is in Cell 232!! We still exchange letters on the regular and he has given me (in writing and signed) permission to use his name and entity in any book and movie that I want!! This book and movie is about me!!! So I am looking for serious agents, Publishers, Producers to help me in getting my book and movie to reality. I saw " War Dogs " this weekend and I can relate very much to it! So... If Todd Phillips, Bradley Cooper, Scott Cooper, Martin Scorsese , Michael Mann , Mark Wahlberg , 50 cent or any one of that " calibre " is interested... my E-mail is [email protected] Thanks

I still need to watch that movie since I heard it was good. Johnny Depp and Benedict Cumberbatch are both great actors :)

Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fan

Go watch it, It is good. Johnny Depp, on a scale of 1-10 performance of James " whitey " Bulger Is 9 . This is coming from someone that practically sat and talked to whitey every day in prison for a year.

I am a big Mob / gangster movie buff since I saw " Goodfellas " in a barber shop in 1990 at 11 years old, and James " whitey " Bulger said, I am " the most knowlegable mob history guy he met that was not in the Mafia! or the FBI ". Whitey knew and associated with " John Gotti " and was good friends with " Carmine Galante " his nick name was " LuLu ". Whitey told me. So I am a expert on mob movies!

My thing with Black Mass is, It did not have enough Killing in it, compared to Goodfellas, Casino, Donnie Brasco and etc.

Agree and to add Johnny was meaner in Black mass than Secret window

reply

Secret window ( I think ) was the dumbest movies Johnny Depp did. I wasted my money going to the movies that night, and I had two females with me :-(

My mistake... was typing too fast. Whitey is in K-2 Cell 132. They just came out off lockdown. K-2 Unit team manager, Crafton , A sleazy tall guy who looks and dresses with black shades and long black trench coat, thinks he is agent smith from the " Matrix " got jump by some mexican or native in the cow hall a wile back. He liked to play mind chess with me and Whitey. He would see us sitting and chilling, and walk by with this smurk on his face... We would smile back at him.
