Overnight is a 2003 documentary by Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith. The film details the rise and fall of filmmaker and musician Troy Duffy.

Tagline: There's more than one way to shoot yourself.

Plot

Overnight is the story of Troy Duffy, a Los Angeles bartender who is also a musician in a band called "The Brood" (along with his brother Taylor), and an aspiring screenwriter.

At the beginning of the film, Troy is riding high: his script (The Boondock Saints) has just been picked up by Miramax chief Harvey Weinstein for $300,000. In addition, Duffy will direct the film (with a budget of $15 million), his band will produce the soundtrack and get a recording contract from Maverick Records, and Weinstein will buy the bar Duffy works in, and hire Duffy to run it.

The deal, however, quickly turns sour. Miramax puts the film in turnaround, conference calls are refused, and soon Duffy is without any contract at all. The film is eventually made, for less than half its original forecast production budget. After the limited cinematic release (which produced poor results), it was released on DVD and VHS. A "Word of Mouth" film, it has become a cult hit; however, due to contract, Duffy receives no money from its video release. The Brood (then renamed to The Boondock Saints) releases its album, which sells only 690 copies.

Duffy is presented as a victim of his own ego, and as the film progresses he becomes increasingly abusive to his friends, relatives and business partners. According to co-director Montana, "Troy seemed to revel in the attention of Hollywood's lights and our cameras. Only three times during the production did he ask not to be filmed. It was on those occasions that he threatened us."

Would having an overnight stopover help with the effects of jet lag?
Q. My daughter is flying from Australia to Austria in a few months and is wondering if planning an overnight stop over would help with the effects of jetlag? She has travelled before on a direct flight and found the jetlag and dehydration stressful and exausting.
Asked by Liz - Tue Mar 17 03:37:57 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Having travelled extensively, I have found stopovers do reduce jetlag. If possible, schedule departure from Sydney to coincide with a late night arrival at stopover destination. Shower before sleeping and again just before leaving for next flight. Believe it or not, the skin can also absorb water very efficiently. Avoid alcohol, salty and sweet foods and snacks. Exercise as much as possible for blood circulation to allow toxins to be removed from your body. Drink small amounts of water regularly. Nothing totally eliminates jetlag but this will help. Good Luck. Greg.

Where can my boyfriend and I take an overnight trip to on Thanksgiving day?
Q. My boyfriend's birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year, so instead of doing the family thing we've decided to take an overnight trip somewhere. We live in Los Angeles so we want to stay somewhere semi-close so we don't waste too much time driving. Considering that most things will be closed on thanksgiving day, we want to stay somewhere that we can enjoy just hanging out in the room with a nice view. Anyone have any ideas?

A. When I first moved here I went to Santa Barbara with my parents on Thanksgiving. It was nice because everything was empty. There were some restaurants open and, of course, the bars were open. People like to get away from their family on holidays it seems. The mission in Santa Barbara was open and completely empty of people except for a homeless man that followed me around trying to show me lingerie ad pics of women. My parents still think that is funny... The weather was gorgeous and the drive was nice because the roads were empty. Most hotel restaurants will be open on Thanksgiving.
