Smorgass Bored you are the last person that needs to tell anyone on what is right and what is wrong to post on a message board. But thanks for your advice anyways.

Not on the silver screen, but maybe youtube (in disguise), DVD or VHS.

Keep your eye out for something like: "The Grady Grunch"

It can take a while, since folks that post stuff like that need to be absolutely it sure it can't be traced, due to lawsuits, etc..

i suspect it won't, unless grady approves of it, unless someone copied it while it was up, unless poked doesn't care (but i think he does)

your best chance is in red

films and photos are best when the captured isn't aware
 
Money talks...

Money Talks. Just look at Bucktooth take a TRIPLE take when he sees the money in this (older) video.
Listen carefully to the words, as they are appropriate, and pertinent to this discussion.

If "ya got da money", just about anything is possible, believe me.

Not too many folks out there know how "the internet" really works.

Just an FYI, regarding shooting videos in public, on private property, etc..

What About Shooting in Public?

If, for example, I'm standing on the sidewalk near a hospital shooting video of a passing ambulance for a video I'm making, I am in a public place and I am entitled to shoot it. If, on the other hand, I zoom in on the face of the victim being removed from the ambulance, even if I'm standing on a public sidewalk, that's a violation of privacy unless I get a model release form.

Although you can tape relatively freely in public, as soon as you enter private property, restrictions may apply. It should be obvious that you can't go into someone's back yard and tape them in their home without permission. Sporting events and theater or music productions are good examples where confusion can arise. Check with the administration department of the school, theater or arena for guidelines.

Privacy also covers exposing intimate details of someone's personal life without his or her permission. If you reveal private facts in a video production, you could be held liable. If the facts are false and damaging, you could be sued for libel. "

Does anyone know where this movie is playing?

Supposedly it is called "Best of Friends", and it is a short, 9 or 10 minute film about two great friends that play pool.

Rumor has it, that it was shot in a fabulous poolroom located somewhere in the southern part of the United States.

Do you have Grady's permission to show a picture of his left ear?

Who's Grady? What ear? I don't get it.

EDIT: Photo I received in email has since been retouched, to eliminate faces.

I just listened to the audio, and it was the proper thing to pull it off youtube.

I've never met Grady, and I don't know too much about him, although he offered to take a friend of mine on the road a REAL LONG time ago. (Worcester Joe, a Viet Nam Veteran, and mostly 3C player)

I have some of his videos, and enjoy them.

I hope to visit his pool room in the near future.
 
Poor Old A#$# Grady

Everyone thinks Grady is such an asset to the game, His poolroom was packed with women and kids wanting to see classy and professional players and all they got to see was a grumpy old has been who should have packed it in a long time ago. I just hope that THEACTIONREPORT people saw the video and quit using his foul mouth on challenge matches. Say it with me Grady, RETIRE AND GO OFF INTO THE SUNLIGHT.

I figured out who you are.
 
FYI

If anyone happened to watch the video while it was on youtube, and you use
Microsoft Windows (baaah), then the video is probably still on your computer! :)

(Depending on how you many other videos you watched, and what you've been doing since.)

LOL.... IGMO-COLUMBIA. I take it that your screen name means:
IGMO = In Grady Mathews Opinion
COLUMBIA = Columbia, SC the location of his room/tournament

I did not know anyone was filming me. I don't like that at all and consider it an invasion of privacy. If I had been asked I would have said, "Sure, go ahead", and watched my langauge a little. You can take anyone out of contex and make them look bad.
I wasn't able to see it so I can't say what I fully think of the whole affair.

Grady,

I was definitely not trying to make you look bad. Quite the opposite in fact. I thought the video showed the colorful side of you that we all love. There may have been a little cursing involved but you were in the middle of woofing with Sparky & Scott Lewis at the time and you also were telling a story about Jimmy Mataya. There were no ladies or children present, and if there were, Grady would have been a little more mindful of that and not said some of those things. There was a group of people watching a movie (The Departed) that had a lot of foul language and Grady had them turn it off because there were kids present.

I thought you had known that I was taking the video. I was not trying to hide the fact that I was filming you. My camera is kind of small so I can understand now how you may not have noticed.

I wholeheartedly apologize for posting the video without your permission.
 
I came up a day late and a dollar short on seeing the link for this one, but I still want to see it. I enjoy good stories from the legends. If anybody has a copy they can email me or a link they can send please PM and let me know. It will not be made public. Thanks.
 
I saw the video, and these are some of my thoughts:

With a just few bleeps edited in, it would be fine for the whole family. Anyone that wasn't a
serious pool player, and Grady fan, would get bored with it, and stop watching after about
1 minute anyway.

In its original form, there were no bad words that could not also be heard in the movie "the Jackal".

It's very hard to believe Grady did not know it was being filmed. At times it looks like he is going to
bump into the "camera man". My only thought is that he saw the camera, and thought it was a
still camera. At the beginning, it looks like a high-intensity movie light is being used, then it goes dark,
and you can hear someone comment on the loss of the light.

I also think it was posted with good intentions throughout, and followed-up with an intention to remove
it, as soon as the first slightly-negative comment came in. In my opinion, it did more GOOD than harm
to Grady, and it was the first time I got to see what his new room looked like. Now, I know I want to
visit the room sometime.

I hope nothing bad, and a lot of good comes about due to this.

Anyone who did not see it, is not missing much. One very short story, and a few attempts
at trying to get a match going.

And in conclusion, the best part was that there were no "chalk off" commercials, like some of the other
youtube videos featuring Grady Mathews.
