THE LOT FINALE
This show opened with the elimination of Sam to get the final group down to 3. Jason, Will, and Adam were selecting two of their previous films for showing tonight. The usual voting mechanism will be used to determine the winner to be presented next week; since this is FOX there will no doubt be 56 minutes of baloney before they announce the winner in the final minutes. Only Carrie Fisher and Gary Marshall were there as judges tonight, but their only function was to ask an obvious question of one of the contestants. Adriana Costa appeared to fit into her dress properly for the first time that I recall.
Jason selected Eternal Waters, the story of a mother haunted by a drowning who is attacked by an intruder and saved by the ghost of her dead son, and Sweet, the story of an anniversary gift.
Will selected Glass Eye, a comedy about an artificial eye popping out and being chased by its owner until a dog finally gets it, and Yes Men, a gender-switch comedy about how an executive wakes up in a dress and everyone who works for him responds.
Adam selected Dough: The Musical, about a baker and a woman who is applying for employment at his bakery, and Army Guy, the story of toys who come alive inside a doll house and fight and do some comedy routines.
I adored Dough:the Musical and thought it was the best single film that I saw in the entire competition. I disliked Eternal Waters, so I think Jason ought to come in third. I liked both of Will's comedies. Army Guy is OK. I guess I would give the title (and the $1 million Spielberg contract) to Adam in a close vote over Will.
