Schmidt and Eldridge and Dawson took the TITANIC THOMPSON book title.


Hello Jim Schmidt:

Thank you for admitting in your post that you were involved (as Co-Producer) in that truly awful Bobby Jones movie.

Questions.

Why did you guys steal the title from the TITANIC THOMPSON:STROKE OF GENIUS book for your Bobby Jones movie?

Why did you even sink so low as to use the same Rudyard Kipling quotes as the TITANIC THOMPSON:STROKE OF GENIUS book did?

Are you that creatively bankrupt?

Just how stupid are the main "Producers," Kim Dawson and Rick Eldridge, to do something like that which can only bring shame to the Bobby Jones family name? This is the lowest, the sleaziest form of film making. The worst.

Why would the Jones family allow you to drag the Bobby Jones name through the gutter? And are they that stupid, too?

Why did THE GOLF CHANNEL have to sue Dawson and Eldridge for unpaid bills to promote the Bobby Jones movie which did less than $2 million box office and cost about $20 million? And didn't the professional golfers involved in promoting the movie do the same thing?

When pressed by a newspaper, Eldridge said about this that he was..."Sorry."

Jim: Did your investors ever even get their money back?

Stealing the TITANIC THOMPSON book title makes no sense...unless you were out to just make a quick buck not caring about what happened to the Jones family or the investors. Was that it? Did you need money that badly?

Or maybe a desperate Hollywood studio put Dawson and Eldridge and you, Jim, up to it in order to try and block the Titanic Thompson movie. I mean, if Dawson and Eldridge are simpering, studio pawns, they should just strike off their name of "independent producers" and insert "sycophant producers."

If you were part of that type of studio "block", then maybe you should correct your title, too, Jim, because most people would call that just "whoring."

What a legacy to leave your spawn.

Finally, why don't you just be a man and call or email Dawson and Eldridge (if they are still speaking to each other after such a debacle) and get them to fess up publicly? I mean, if you do something...and get caught...what good does it do to hide?

But--I suspect if you try to reach them they will most probably be "unavailable" to you as they are busy hiding in North Carolina (Eldridge) and Florida (Dawson) cringing in fear, hiding behind their skirts.

Guess that is the type of "men" they raise in North Carolina and Florida.

What pathetic creeps.

"Stroke of Genius" is an utterly generic and unoriginal turn of phrase.

Your obsession over this appears quite unhealthy. Do seek help!
