On the Lot

Bomby · 05-29-2007, 09:42 PM

Not bad for a reality show it you're interested in Filmmaking. These kids on there are pretty talented. I'm guessing it won't do very well, though.

And that host Adrianna or whatever is quite good looking.

**Wyborn** · 05-29-2007, 09:54 PM

I hate most of the spots. That lightbulb thing? Or even worse, the number 1 bus thing? Blah.

Bomby · 05-29-2007, 09:57 PM

Death is hard, comedy is harder. I think once the directors are able to make something longer than a minute in whatever genre they please, things will get more interesting.

**Wyborn** · 05-29-2007, 10:22 PM

I know a minute can be hard to work with, but the best thing I've seen so far was that thing with the twenty-four angry ninjas, and that was more of a preview.

***CaptHayfever*** · 05-30-2007, 12:03 AM

^That sentiment I disagreed with completely. The trailer was the film. That was the point.
The only one of the 1-minute comedies I hated was Bus #1. It just didn't follow through at all; the only funny thing was that they were on a school bus.

I really liked the audition rounds, but the results show tonight was just painfully awkward, poorly-structured & poorly-scripted. And Adrianna may be hot, but dang, she's a bad host! We only needed to hear "Let's reintroduce you to America" once, and even that wasn't necessary.

Also, the judges need to watch their mouths; Carrie let slip the judges' favorite in the first round!?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**Wyborn** · 05-30-2007, 12:07 AM

I just hate hearing her calling all of them "great filmmakers".

Bomby · 05-31-2007, 04:12 PM

What happened to Brett Ratner? I thought he was supposed to be one of the main judges. Too busy with Rush Hour 3?

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-06-2007, 12:57 AM

Michael Bay? Michael stinkin' Bay!? Shirley they can't be serious.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

WolfosSmak · 06-07-2007, 12:44 PM

Brett Ratner ain't much better.

I dislike this show for the same reasons I dislike all such reality shows. The annoying part is that everyone and their brother asks me if I'm watching this one. I caught the first episode and never thought of it again. It just makes me miss Project Greenlight.

***Ynot Shane*** · 07-01-2007, 09:31 PM

The really bad films are getting fewer as they weed out the crap contestants. That host still needs to go, though. Where'd they find her?

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-01-2007, 09:46 PM

Pulling up IMDb as we speak...she's an entertainment reporter. Makes sense, I guess.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Bomby · 07-27-2007, 10:35 AM

Is it just me, or is Will by far the best of the contestants.

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-27-2007, 01:26 PM

Possibly. I liked Jason's flick, too, though.

I'm really ticked off that Mateen was booted this time; he was one of the best ones last week. I mean, everybody knew that the rubber lizard killed Kenny, but what the heck was wrong with Mateen's film (besides the cop's ridiculous accent)?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Bomby · 07-27-2007, 02:31 PM

I actually thought Mateen's was the best of the action films. I thought he was one of the more promising directors on the show, so I was surprised to see him go.

I had also thought that Shalini was promising, but her "When Two Worlds Collide" was a complete mess. The one in the doctor's office was hilarious though.

I actually liked Jason's flick this week, too, which is a first for me. I sincerely hated "Get a Room" and the one about the guy whose blood was able to cure AIDS.

Will is the only one who has consistently entertained me with each of his films. The real question is whether he'd still be as entertaining of a director throughout a full length film.

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-28-2007, 01:49 PM

Well, basically at the end of the Action episode, I turned & said to my brother, "Jason & Mateen are golden this week; Kenny's leaving, probably with Sam." That clearly didn't turn out right.

This time, though, I'm saying Jason, Will, & Adam are scot-free. Sam & Andrew are probably toast, the former because no one paid attention to the tag, and the latter because it was the weakest of the night.

Also, who the heck checks the copy on this show? Jim Carrey didn't play Lemony Snicket. Was that the writer's fault, or can Adrianna just not read the cue cards?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Bomby · 07-28-2007, 03:30 PM

Was I the only one who realized that Jason's action flick was a complete ripoff of Run Lola Run?

As for the Lemony Snicket thing, it could be either. You'd figure that someone with a background in "journalism" (if you consider that celebrity gossip crap to be journalistic) would know how to read.
